General Notes: Husband - Rev. Isaiah Beaver

---

He was a well-known minister of the German Baptist Church, commonly known as the Dunkard Church.

The White Spring school in Lewis township, Union County, Pennsylvania, afforded him his educational opportunities for a short time, but his parents moved to West Buffalo township when he was about seven years old, and he attended the Buffalo Creek school for several years. He received practical training in farm work, remaining at home until the age of twenty-five, with the exception of one month in the spring of 1868, when he worked for Isaac Royer, a farmer in Hartley township, Union county.
He began farming on his own account after his marriage, renting the old Beaver homestead, which he was the fifth of the name to occupy, though in the fourth generation from the first settler. After spending six years at the old place, he purchased, October 8, 1877, his own home in East Buffalo township, Union County, one of the oldest farms in the township, formerly known as the Schrock homestead. It contained forty-eight and a half acres under cultivation and fourteen acres of woodland, and was purchased for $8,000. Mr. Beaver took possession of this farm on March 21, 1878, and thereafter resided there. On July 25, 1895, his barn was struck by lightning and burned, but he rebuilt it, making various improvements in the plan.
He and his wife were both members of the German Baptist Church, in which he was a deacon for many years previous to his election in 1889 to the ministry. He never took an active interest in politics, but his sympathies were with the Republican party.
