Ira K. Beaman was for a number of years actively identified with agricultural interests but is now living retired in Ceresco. A native of Iowa, he was born in Davis county on the 25th of April, 1858, a son of Alonzo and Elizabeth (Kelly) Beaman. His parents, who were natives respectively of Ohio and Kentucky, removed to Iowa in 1845 and the father took up government land on a grant received in recognition of his services in the Mexican war. There were four sons and three daughters in the family, namely: J. W., a resident of Oklahoma, who is married and has two children; Ira K.; J. O., a resident of Rock Creek precinct, this county, who is married and has two children; Mrs. Martha H. Hodge, of Stella, Nebraska, who is married and has five children; Frances, deceased; William M., who is a resident of Oklahoma and who is married and has two children; and D. L., of Bartley, Nebraska.
Ira K. Beaman attended the common schools in Iowa until he was ten years of age, when he accompanied his parents on their removal to Otoe county, Nebraska. He continued his education there until he was eighteen years of age, when he put aside his textbooks and began to work as a farm hand. He was so employed for four years, during which time he carefully saved his money and at the age of twenty-two years he purchased railroad land in Saunders county. He devoted his time and attention to farming his place from 1880 until 1909, when he removed to Ceresco and retired from active life. He has sold part of his land but still owns one hundred and sixty acres in Rock Creek precinct and he also holds title to residence property in Ceresco.
On New Year's Day of 1880 Mr. Beaman was united in marriage to Mrs. Mary E. Smith, a daughter of Samuel R. Buxton. To Mr. and Mrs. Beaman were born six children: Charlotta, Mabel, who married H. R. Gibbs, by whom she has three children, Harold, Ina and Charles; Jesse A., who is farming in Rock Creek precinct and who married Estella Bennett and has two children, Irma and Ileta; Sydney C., who resides on a farm in Rock Creek precinct and who married Hilner Swanson; Lola, the wife of Frank Hughes, a farmer of Richland precinct, by whom she has a daughter, Eloise; Roy, a resident of Ceresco, who married Pansy Anderson and has one child, Berea; and Pearl, the wife of George Siecrist, The wife and mother died on the 11th of April, 1909, and is buried in Rock Creek precinct.
Mr. Beaman is a democrat where national issues are at stake but at local elections votes for the man rather than the party. He is now serving on the school board at Ceresco. Fraternally he is identified with the Ancient Order of United Workmen at Ceresco, of which he has been recording secretary for four years, and his religious faith is that of the Methodist Episcopal church. Although he was without capital when he began his independent career he has accumulated more than a competence and is now enjoying a well earned period of leisure.
