General Notes: Husband - Gov. James Addams Beaver
He was educated at Pine Grove Academy and was graduated at Jefferson College, Canonsburg, in 1856. He studied law with Hugh N. McAllister, at Bellefonte, and was admitted to the Centre County Bar, Jan. 24, 1859. At the outbreak of the Civil war he was first lieutenant of the Bellefonte Fencibles, which became Company H, 2d Regiment P. V., in the three months' service. He was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the 45th P. V. July 22, 1861, and promoted to colonel of the 148th P. V. Sept. 4. 1862. He participated in nearly all the important battles of the Army of the Potomac and was wounded at Chancellorsville and before Petersburg. The latter wound was in the thigh and cost him a leg. He was brevetted brigadier-general for particularly important service at Cold Harbor, while commanding a brigade. After the war Gen. Beaver took an active part in Pennsylvania politics. He was the Republican candidate for governor in 1882 but was beaten owing to a factional division in the party. He was again nominated in 1886 and elected, serving the full term of four years, 1887-91. In 1895 he was appointed a Judge of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, and he was elected for the full term of ten years at the following election.
