   Francis M. Beedle, farmer and stock raiser, Pleasant Hill, Montgomery county,
Indiana. In 1825, Aaron T. and Mary (Carson) Beedle emigrated from Miami county,
Ohio, and settled on Sec. 9, T. 20, R. 6, in Richland township, where their son,
the subject of this notice, now lives, and was born June 20, 1842. Their journey
was made in autumn with an ox-team, through an extended wilderness, presenting
every variety of western primitive nature. They were followed the next year by
their relatives. Mr. Beedle's father died in June, 1870, and his mother in
February 1874. He was married March 23, 1870, to Lucy Donaldson, who was born
February 21, 1852. Their three children were born in the following order: Lulu
May, December 6, 1870; Morris, January 7, 1874; Jessie, January 17, 1878. Both
Mr. Beedle and his wife belong to the New Light church at Pleasant Hill. He has
been church trustee the last two years. His homestead comprises 189 acres of
choice, well improved land. In politics he is a democrat. His grandfather, David
Carson, was a soldier of the revolution, and also of the war of 1812. He fought
in the defense of Fort Meigs when that stronghold was besieged by Gen. Proctor.
