   Mr. Beale was born at Riddicksville, N.C., April 6, 1866, the son of the late 
Ethelred and Mrs. Sallie Beale and had spent the greater part of his life in the 
Franklin community. He married Miss Mary E. Wills of this county who survives 
him with eight children, three sons, John E., Willard and Herbert Beale of 
Franklin, and five daughters, Mrs. Paul Rose and Mrs. J.C. Bristow, Jr. of 
Franklin, Mrs. C.R. Herrin and Mrs. W.T. Powell of Lawrenceville and Miss 
Elizabeth Beale of this town, and ten grandchildren. He is also survived by

Courtland community, and by three sisters, Mrs. Mariah Carter and Mrs. Annie 
O’berry of Newsoms and Mrs. Jno. T. Edwards of Richmond.

   Mr. Beale was a faithful member of Sycamore Baptist Church and a deacon of 
that organization. He was a successful farmer and for a number of years had 
taken a pride in producing the first cotton blooms in this county. Maintaining 
an active interest in the affairs of his community, he as a good citizen and 
neighbor and a kind and affectionate husband and father in the home. On account 
of failing health, he moved to Franklin about two years ago and relinquished the 
active affairs of farming, his death last week resulting from a stroke of 
paralysis sustained a few days before.
