On the earlier 1865 Pomeroy Map of Clarion County, William Beals farm is not indicated.  The [[Jacob Beals]] farm is shown as lying just north of the Richland/Salem Twp. border.<br> William Beals was married by 1860 but apparently rented land for some years.  The property he eventually owned was small, perhaps a few acres, and it is not presently known to us when he purchased it.

Mrs. Kline was a daughter of [[Samuel Shirey|Samuel]] and Sarah Johnson Shirey, deceased, and was born in the same township in which she died, on Jan. 8, 1835. She was married on Jan 16. 1859, to [[Charles Klein (1828)|Charles Klein]], who preceded her in death 23 years ago. To their union were born five sons and one daughter, three of whom survive; Frank Kline, J.J. Kline and Sarah M. (Mrs. W.C. Texter). '''One sister, Mrs. Wm. Beal, of Mariasville''', also survives.  <br>Note: the usage of "sister" in the obituary for Mrs. Wm. Beal would correctly be "sister-in-law". Thus Susan Kline was a sister of Charles Kline (b. 1838), and a daughter of [[Philip Klein]] and Ester Fogele of Lehigh Co. PA.

From the 1877 Caldwell Atlas, a portion of Richland Twp. showing the farms of Jacob Beals and his son William Beals.
The farms of William's brother Benjamin and of his sister and brother-in-law Flora Ann Beals & Nathan Biery are just to the north in Salem Twp.

1865 Pomeroy, Richland Twp no Beals farms .jpg


On the earlier 1865 Pomeroy Map of Clarion County, William Beals farm is not indicated. The Jacob Beals farm is shown as lying just north of the Richland/Salem Twp. border.
William Beals was married by 1860 but apparently rented land for some years. The property he eventually owned was small, perhaps a few acres, and it is not presently known to us when he purchased it.

17 Obituary of Katherine Shirey Kline, posted Keystone Corner/Ancestry.com by Kelly Fulcher; publication source not given.
"KLINE, Catherine Ann - Mrs. Catherine Ann Shirey Kline, an aged and respected lady of Richland Township, this county, passed away at her home near Mariansville, Sunday, March 3, after a short illness from complications due to advanced age. Mrs. Kline was a daughter of Samuel and Sarah Johnson Shirey, deceased, and was born in the same township in which she died, on Jan. 8, 1835. She was married on Jan 16. 1859, to Charles Klein, who preceded her in death 23 years ago. To their union were born five sons and one daughter, three of whom survive; Frank Kline, J.J. Kline and Sarah M. (Mrs. W.C. Texter). One sister, Mrs. Wm. Beal, of Mariasville, also survives.
Note: the usage of "sister" in the obituary for Mrs. Wm. Beal would correctly be "sister-in-law". Thus Susan Kline was a sister of Charles Kline (b. 1838), and a daughter of Philip Klein and Ester Fogele of Lehigh Co. PA.

  • The 1860 census which shows Susan (Kline) age 17, married to William Beals, clarifies that this Susan is not the same as Susan Kline daughter of John Klein & Anna Fenstermacher; their daughter is living at home, age 23 in 1860.

No record for William and Sarah Beals could be found in the 1910 census.
