F. Beall, M. D. During a professional career of about seven years Dr. Beall has already become will known and justly deserves the eulogisms bestowed upon him by his professional brethren as well as his patrons. He was born in De Soto Parish, Louisiana, December 25, 1862, and his youth was spent as a student in the common schools, which education he has since greatly improved by much study and contact with the world. Hi is next to the youngest of four living children born to Dr. A.J. and Anna (Sanders) Beall, the former of whom was born in Georgia and is now a resident of Texas, and the latter born in Alabama and died in Natchitoches Parish, La., in 1869, when about thirty-four years of age. On January 1, 1881, E. F. Beall began the study of medicine in his fathers office, and his first course of lectures was received in the medical department of the Vanderbilt University at Nashville, Tenn., and his second course during 1882-83, in Tulane University of New Orleans, La., from which institution he was graduated with the degree of M. D. in the spring of the last-named year. He then took a post-graduate course at the New York Polytechnic Institute, then returning to Louisiana and began practicing the healing art at Mansfield, remaining until 1884, when he came to Coushatta and became associated in the practice of his profession with Dr. W. Guthrie, a union which lasted very harmoniously and profitable to both until the death of the latter on March 4, 1890, since which time Dr. Beall has been alone. Miss Flora Eames, who was born in this State in 1866, became his wife in 1888, and their marriage has resulted in the birth of one child-Trammel. The doctor has always cast his vote for men of Democratic principles, and socially, has for some time been a member of the Silent Brotherhood Lodge No. 146, of the A. F. & A. M. of Coushatta. # # #
