Judge Wyatt Starke Beazley, son of Captain James and Elizabeth (Mills) Beazley,
was born in the beautiful Swift Run valley, near the Blue Ridge mountains,
Greene county, Virginia, February 1, 1819, and died in the same county, November
2, 1881. His father, a wealthy planter, gave him all the advantages of a
classical education, sending him last to the University of Virginia, where he
became a scholar of high attainment, graduating in Greek, Latin, French and
German, with many other subjects, and later in law, afterwards becoming a lawyer
of great force and ability. The results of these advantages placed him
professionally and socially among the leading men of his district, and he was
held in the highest esteem by his fellow citizens who elevated him to prominent
official positions in the county, first clerk, then commonwealth's attorney, and
for a period of thirteen years, until his death, he was judge of the judicial
district, composed of the counties of Madison and Greene. He was a learned, just
judge, dignified and courteous, chivalrous and knightly, and the soul of
generosity and hospitality. He married Elizabeth Columbia Miller, born in Greene
county, Virginia, in 1824, died in 1892. They were the parents of four children,
all living: Adelaide Starke, Carrie Lee, Mary James, Wyatt Sanford, of whom further.
