	Mrs. Betty Beal Will Be 98 Nov 1
	Sebree's oldest citizen, Mrs. Betty Beal, will celebrate her 98th
birthday Sunday, Nov. 1st.  She makes her home with her daughter, Mrs.
Johnny Walker on West Webster street.
	Mrs. Beal was the daughter of Murray and Mary Burris who resided in
Warren county at the time of her birth Nov. 1, 1885 [should say 1855]
but moved with her parents to Webster county when four years old.  She
recounts the days of Reconstruction, after the awful Civil War and
remembers much of that era.
	She was married Nov. 15, 1877 at Sebree by Rev. A. L. Moore pastor
of the General Baptist church.
	Her husband, Andrew Beal died in 1940.  Mrs. Beal's youngest child
is Mrs. Claudia Hawkins, 51 of Evansville and her oldest is Mrs. Leslie
Sandefur, 74, also of Evansville.
	Other children: Travis Beal, Evansville, 64, Stacey Beal, Terre
Haute, 62; Mrs. Cleo Grandison, Evansville, 68; Mrs. Winnie Burton,
Evansville, 70; Mrs. Walker, 72; Hoy Beal, 59, Holly Wood, Calif, 59; Mrs.
Claudia Hawkins 52, of Evansville.
	Mrs. Beal is still very active, has good eye sight, hearing is fine
and enjoys life more than many her junior by several years.  The Banner
salutes Mrs. Beal on this her 98th anniversary, Sunday, and shall look
forward to making her century one of her best.
