ALBERT WESLEY BEAMAN - Among the progressive farmers of Hendricks county Albert W. Beaman occupies a prominent place for the reason that he is a man of education and self confidence. Real self confidence is not a matter of many words, but it is the quiet chap with square jaw and the silent tongue who is the man to be afraid of. He is the man who wins. Out of self confidence grow enthusiasm and earnestness, and for the man who is in earnest nothing is impossible. Many of us make the mistake of not taking ourselves seriously. If we are inclined to look upon life as a joke it is pretty certain that the joke is on us. Mr. Beaman is a man who has believed in himself; he has selected a goal and marched straightforward toward it. Although he has found many difficulties in his way, he has believed that they were only there in order to prove his strength, to test his self confidence. One by one he has cleared the difficulties out of his way and today he stands a self-reliant, aggressive man who takes a prominent and influential part in the community where he lives.
Albert Wesley Beaman, the son of Adam and Rebecca A. (McDaniels) Beaman, was born February 22, 1874, in Brown township, Hendricks county, Indiana. Adam Beaman was a native of Boone county, this state, who came to Hendricks county after he was married, settling in Brown township, on eighty acres of land. He died in March, 1909. Rebecca A. McDaniels, the mother of Mr. Beaman, was born in Hendricks county in April, 1844, her birth occurring about one mile west of Brownsburg, and she is still living at Pittsboro, Indiana. Mr. and Mrs. Adam Beaman were the parents of seven children, Charles S.. Willard E., Otis B., deceased, Albert Wesley, William Edgar, Ada, deceased, George Byron, deceased.
Albert W. Beaman spent his earlier life on a farm in Brown township, where he was born in a log cabin. This log cabin, around which cluster so many memories of the Beaman family, was destroyed by fire in May, 1879, when Albert was five years of age. When he was born this farm was an unbroken forest and his boyhood days were alternated between his school books and the clearing. He was quick to learn and acquired knowledge readily and easily. Upon his finishing his common school course, he was sufficiently advanced to receive a teacher's license, and for two years taught school in Brown township, in this county. However, he preferred the life of a farmer, and upon his marriage began to farm and has since continued to follow that vocation, but taught one term near home recently, in Middle township.
In the fall of 1900 Mr. Beaman bought the farm where he has since resided, in the east edge of Middle township, near the Boone county line.
Mr. Beaman was married October 20, 1895, to Ona Kennedy, and to this union have been born three children, Byron Page, Edith Evangeline and Ernest Clifford. Mr. Beaman is a member of the Improved Order of Red Men at Fayette, Indiana, and in politics has always adhered to the principles of the Democratic party. While he has been active in the councils of his party, yet he has never been an aspirant for any office, but willing to serve in the ranks as a private. Mr. Beaman is a keen, business farmer, frank and plain f.poken and is able to converse intelligently upon any topic of current interest. He is one of the clean-cut type of modern farmers who are the backbone of our nation today and help to make us the greatest nation on the face of the earth.
