Lester Best.JPG


NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR

N. Lester Best is not in my direct ancestry. The Best family of Salem Twp., Clarion County, PA. is linked by marriage to the family of David Beels. The Beels family is possibly distantly related to our Jacob Bealsfamily. No relationship has been established, and the Beels family believe there is none.

Date Location Notes Sources
Birth ~1891 [2]
Marriage 30 Nov. 1910 To Nellie E. Kline (born~ 1894) [2]
Death
Burial
