Left to right: Fred Truman (holding dog), Eva Burgham Truman, Walter Beals, Millie Burgham, Aida Beals Sweesy Layne, Dorothy Beals Dittman, Edith Shannon Beals, Evelyn Sweesy Mullen.
Eva Burgham Truman (wife of Fred Truman) and Millie Burgham are sisters of Florence Burgham Beals. Aida Beals Sweesy Layne, Walter Beals (husband of Edith Shannon Beals), and Dorothy Burgham Beals Dittman are children of James Sinas Beals and Florence Burgham. Evelyn Sweesy Mullen is daughter of Aida Meals Sweesy Mullen.

Lillian Mae Beals was the wife of Maurice Baker Shannon, Jr. She was the daughter of Francis Augustus "Frank" Beals, son of Samuel Beals. Her daughter, Edith Geraldine Shannon, married Walter Benjamin Beals, son of James Sinas Beals, son of William Beals.

Thus the lines of two sons of Jacob Beals (William and Samuel) descend & meet in her daughter and son-in-law, Edith Shannon and Walter Benjamin Beals.
