Age, 54 years. "Than" Beall, as he was generally called, was well and favorably known by almost everyone in the vicinity. He was a good musician and for many a social event given in this vicinity for years past he has furnished music. He will be much missed among his friends and acquaintances. About a month ago Mr. Beall was taken sick with the disease mentioned and this, together with the great grief caused by the death of his daughter, which occurred a few months, ago, hastened the end. He was confined to his bed but eight days. The deceased leaves a wife and son and daughter, George and Veva; also two sisters and three brothers--Mesdames E.J. Bonine and Laban Harter and S.S. Beall, of this city; Jas. M. Beall, who resides two miles northeast, and Mrs. Osborne, of Vandalia. Fraternally he was connected with the Order of Patricians, in which society he carried an insurance policy.
