ALBERT M. BEAL, M. D., a leading representative of the medical fraternity of Rock Island county, is successfully engaged in practice in Moline, with office at 316 Sixteenth street. One of the most exacting of all the higher lines of occupation to which a man may lend his energies is that of the physician. A most scrupulous preliminary training is demanded, and a nicety of judgment but little understood by the laity. Then again the profession brings its devotees into almost constant association with the sadder side of life—that of pain and suffering—so that a mind capable of great self-control and a heart responsive and sympathetic are essential attributes of him who would essay the practice of the healing art. Thus when professional success is attained in any instance it may be taken as certain that such measure of success has been thoroughly merited.
The Doctor is a native of Rock Island county, born October 31, 1853, in Zuma township, and is a son of Daniel N. and Betsey (Spencer) Beal. Upon his father*s farm he spent the days of his boyhood, and besides attending the country schools, he was also a student in the schools of Port Byron and Rock Island. At the early age of seventeen he began teaching at what is now Barstow, and later entered Western College of Iowa, where he completed the classical course and graduated with the class of 1876, receiving the degree of A. B. The following year he was principal of the Hampton (Illinois) schools. In 1879 he received the degree of A. M. from his alma mater, and after the removal of the college to Toledo, Iowa, in the same year, he was called to the chair of physics and chemistry, in which capacity he served for twelve years. In the meantime, however, he had spent one year in study at Dartmouth College. Previously he had read law and was admitted to the bar in 1879, and from 1876 until 1879 was employed as assistant by the president of the Moline Water Power Company.
In 1890 Dr. Beal began a regular course of lectures in the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Des Moines, and at the same time delivered a course of lectures in the schools on chemistry and medical Latin. During the years 1891 and 1892 he served as president of his alma mater with the understanding that he was to still carry on his
studies, and in 1894 he graduated at the College of Physicians and Surgeons and began practice in Toledo, Iowa, but in December of the same year located in Moline, where he has already succeeded in building up a large and lucrative practice.
At Andalusia, Illinois, Dr. Beal was married October 31, 1876, to Miss Etta Thompson, of that place, a daughter of Henry S. and Mary (Buffum) Thompson. She died November II, 1880, leaving one daughter—Mamie, who was born in Moline October 18, 1878, and is a graduate of the high school of Toledo, Iowa. The Doctor was again married January 1, 1884, his second union being with Miss Carrie E. Middlekauff, of Polo, Illinois, who is a native of Ogle county, and a daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Jones) Middlekauff. They had five children—Etta Grace, born in Toledo, Iowa, February 15, 1885; Daniel Middlekauff, who was born in the same city August 21, 1886; Althea, born in Toledo, October 15, 1888; Albert Milton, who was born in Toledo and died in Des Moines March 19, 1892, when a year old; and Walter Hubert, born September 12, 1894, in Toledo.
Like his father, the Doctor has always been a Republican in politics, casting his first presidential vote for Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, and he has taken quite an active and prominent part in political affairs.
While a resident of Toledo he served as mayor for three successive terms, during which time he succeeded in putting in one of the best system of water works now in use, and also revised and drafted the laws for that city. He resigned the position on his removal to Des Moines. He was elected the first clerk of South Moline and acceptably discharged the duties of that office.
A man of deep research and careful investigation he to-day occupies an enviable position among his professional brethren, and has written many valuable articles which
were read before leading medical societies and others which were published in medical journals. In 1897 he delivered the doctorate address before the graduating class of the College of Physicians and Surgeons at
Des Moines.' Prominence as a physician and surgeon comes through merit alone, and the high position which Dr. Beal has attained attests his superiority. He is a valued
member of the Iowa and Illinois Central District Medical Association and also the Illinois State Medical Association and affiliates with the Knights of Pythias fraternity, and Camp No. 38, Modern Woodmen of America, while he is examining physician for Bell K. Camp, Royal Neighbors and the Northwestern Life Insurance Company of Chicago and the New York Life. At the age of sixteen he joined the United Brethren church, served as superintendent of the Sunday school in Toledo for for some time, but since his return to Moline in 1894 he has become identified with the First Congregational church.
