Source Notes
- The Clarion County Cemeteries transcription project of 1986, available through the Clarion County Historical Society shows a gravestone at Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery, Beaver City, transcribed as "Beals, Isaac, Son of S. & C. Beals." It notes that the grave is near that of Catherine Beals. This child is not noted in any other source that we are aware of. In two trips to this cemetery by E. W. Williams (1991 when stones were less weathered, & 2006 after much undergrowth was cleared away), transcriptions were made of a small stone that reads "Infant son of J & C Beals, died May 21 1860 aged 5 days." This is believed to be a child of Jacob Beals, Jr. and wife Clara. It is wondered if the previous transcriber ( possibly a Girl Scout project for the Historical Society) mistook "Infant Son" for "Isaac Son". The "J" & "C" are faint, easily misread, and the date could be 1850 or 1860. Neither of these dates works well for a child of Samuel & Catherine Beals; they weren't married until 1852, and they had another child born in 1860.
- In the 1900 census wife Elizabeth reports having 6 children, 6 currently living. The Salem Lutheran Cemetery association lists a 7th, Essie, apparently (by order listed) born between 1886 and 1890; infant death.
Research Notes
- A blank Beals headstone in Zion Union Cemetery may belong to Effie King Beals. It is below the plot of the Dr. Norman King Beals family, and per the cemetery records, Effie Beals should be buried in that same section.
- [3] Salem Lutheran Cemetery Association Records, lists 6 children of Samuel Beals and Catharine Marsh, all of the above except Mahlon Oliver Beals, who died young. It lists 6 children of Samuel Beals and Lizzy Leavy, all of the above except Essie Beals, who died young.
- [4] Tax Records, Salem Twp. Clarion Co., lists Samuel Beals "unseated" -
