MATTHEW BEAZELL
This venerable and highly honored citizen of East Union Township, Wayne County, is deserving of special mention in a work of this character owing to his long, useful, and upright life and the interest he has taken in the development of this community.
He was born in Westmoreland County, Pa. January 8, 1825, the sone of John and Sarah (Shepler) Beazell, also natives of the last named place.
John came to Stark County, Ohio, settling near Navarre, where he owned a good farm and where he spent the remainder of his life.
He lived quietly and cared nothing for public display.
He was a firm believer in the Bible and the principles of the Presbyterian Church, and he took a great interest in schooling his family.
He was very successful financially, owning a well improved fram of 160 acres; he earned all his competence by his own efforts. He and his wife were the parents of 11 children, namely: Matthew, Rachel, Michael F, Mary, Harvey, William, Sarah, Harriett C., Noah H, Clara, and James.
Matthew Beazell was reared on the home farm where he remained until he was 21 years of age. He attended the common schools and received a fairly good education for those early days.
He turned his attention to teaching, which profession he followed very successfully for a period of 10 years, teaching 2 village schools.
He later studied at Mt. Vernon, Ohio. He was regarded as an excellent teacher and his services were in great demand.
Mr. Beazell was married on March 24, 1859, to Hannah Cunningham, who was born in Salt Creek Township, September 11, 1834, the daughter of James and Hannah (Finley) Cunningham, the former born in Fayette County, Pa, in 1797.
