	Frederick I Beard, M. D., is a native of Ohio, born in the year 1840.  
He came to Clark County with his parents in 1851, and located near Waterloo.  
April 4, 1861, he married Miss Mary A. McCoy, who was born in the year 1837, 
and who was the daughter of James and Sarah A. (Fite) McCoy.  To our subject 
and wife were born six children – four sons and two daughters- one daughter 
deceased.  Mrs. Beard died March 1, 1868.  February 20, 1879, he married Miss 
Naomi Payne, daughter of Benjamin and Eliza A. Payne.  She was born in Clark 
County in 1843, and by her marriage became the mother of two children, both of 
whom died when quite young.  In 1865 Mr. Beard moved to his present farm, which 
is located on the Wyaconda River, and consists of 600 acres of good land, all 
well improved.  Previous to moving on his present farm he began the study of 
medicine (in 1858), and in the fall of 1859 entered the Keokuk College of 
Physicians and Surgeons, graduating in the spring of 1861.  His practice has 
been large, but of late years he preferred the free and independent life of a 
farmer.  He is a good citizen, as his many friends can testify.  Our subject is 
a Democrat, a member of the Christian Church and of the Masonic Order.  His 
wife is a member of the Baptist Church.  Ira and Lorena (Matthews) Beard, the 
parents of our subject, were born in Vermont and Connecticut, respectively.
