General Notes: Husband - William Beighley

---

He was one of the early school teachers of Butler County, Pennsylvania. He came from Westmoreland County to Muddy Creek Township in 1811, and in 1825 settled on the farm where his son, C. S. Beighle, would later reside. He made the first improvement on this place but later moved from his farm to the village of Middle Lancaster, where he was Postmaster some years.

He spent his early life on his father's farm, and received a good common school education. He was an apt scholar, and devoted himself assiduously to his studies, with the intention of becoming a teacher, in which ambition he suc-ceeded. He came to Muddy Creek township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, in 1811, and taught school for eleven years. He married and soon after returned to his early home in Westmoreland County, where he resided about one year. He again came to Muddy Creek township, and settled on his father-in-law's farm, following agriculture in summer and teaching school in winter. In 1825 he purchased a farm in Lan-caster township, later the property of his son, Cornelius S., and resided on it until his removal to Middle Lancaster, where he served as postmaster for a num-ber of years, being the first incumbent of that office. His wife died in 1854, and in 1856 he removed to Adams County, Ohio, where he died, aged seventy-eight years. He and his wife were members of the Lutheran church, in which denomination he filled the office of deacon. Politically, he was first a Whig, and afterwards a Republican.
