Mahoning Dispatch 20 Apr 1923
Almus Beardsley, 94, the oldest resident of Canfield township, died last 
Sunday night at his home two miles northwest of the village. He had been in 
poor health for some time and his death was not unexpected. He was born in 
Canfield township Jan. 2, 1829, a son of Philo and Lois Beardsley, early 
settlers of this section. All his long and useful life he followed farming and 
stock raising. For years he was extensively engaged in the breeding of 
Shetland ponies, shipping them to all parts of the country. Later he went into 
the Jersey cattle business having associated with him his son, Hiram, and 
together they made Dean Hill Dairy Farm famous the country over, animals bred 
by them being in great demand at fancy prices. He was a rugged and determined 
man and until recent years insisted on taking active part in work on the 
extensive farm. In 1845 he was married to Mary P. Dean, who passed away in 
1905. Two daughters preceded him in death. He leaves two sons, Ensign N. 
Beardsley of Green township and Hiram J. Beardsley of Canfield. Mr. Beardsley 
early in life united with the Christian church, long serving as an officer and 
taking great interest in its affairs. Funeral services held Wednesday 
afternoon from his late residence were conducted by Rev. M. J. Grable of 
Salem, a large concourse of relatives and friends being in attendance. 
Interment was made in Dean Hill cemetery, only a few rods distant from the 
Beardsley home.
