Francis Guy Beal, Sr. married Doris Marguerite Smith on September 1, 1923 in Newton, {Auburndale}, Massachusetts. They were married at the Church of the Messiah. Doris was the daughter of Evangeline Murray (Burns) and Charles Henry Smith who were from Novia Scotia, Canada. The Burns line has a long tradition of sea Captains from Novia Scotia. Doris was born on May 27, 1897 in Winthrop, Massachusetts.
