He was educated in the high schools and early in life gave attention to agriculture, to which he has devoted all his active years.

He is a member also of Knoix Encampment, No. 211, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of which he is past chief patriarch. In religion he affiliates with the Presbyterian church, in the work of which he is active and efficient. He is a citizen of recognized influence, which is always exerted in behalf of the best interests of his township and county.
Joseph Beers, father of Aaron Douglass Beers, was born in Wayne township, December 15, 1811, a son of Jabez and Mary (Loveridge) Beers. After acquiring a limited education in the common schools he began at the age of eighteen years an apprenticeship to the mason's trade at Mount Vernon, Ohio, and he was employed as a brick mason and plasterer the most of his life. He purchased the present farm in 1864, and in 1879 erected the present residence and resided here till his death, October 30, 1890. He had survived his wife, who died June 3, 1881. He early identified himself with the Presbyterian church, in which he was called to fill several important offices. He married Miss Jane Douglass on December 14, 1841, and about two years later built the house in which he lived for thirty-six years or until coming to the one in which A. D. Beers now resides. They had two sons, Theodore Leroy and Aaron Douglass Beers.
Theodore Leroy Beers became a dentist and began the practice of his profession at Hudsonville, Illinois, whence he removed to Vincennes, Indiana. Later he lived at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, and he is now located at Los Angeles, California.
Jabez Beers, father of Joseph Beers and grandfather of Aaron Douglass Beers, was born in New Jersey, March 25, 1781. He married Mary Loveridge November 3, 1803, and in 1805 they located in Morris township, Knox county, Ohio. Mrs. Beers, who was born November 13, 1782, bore her husband six children, who were named as follows : Sarah, Samuel Smith, William Loveridge, Joseph, George O. and Mary, all of whom are dead.
Aaron Douglass and John, a son of Samuel and a resident of Clinton township, are the only representatives of the family left in Knox county. Aaron Douglass Beers married Rebecca Cook, June 17, 1884, and their only child is a daughter, Stella, a high school student. Rebecca (Cook) Beers died just eighteen months after her marriage, on December 17, 1885. She was a daughter of William Cook, of Middlebury township, Knox county, Ohio, where she was born. February 22, 1894, Mr. Beers was married to Miss Jessie Burnett, daughter of Robert and Helen Burnett, and they have one daughter, Helen Jane, a child of six years. Mr. Beers owns one hundred acres of land just outside the corporation of Fredericktown, and this was a part of his father's homestead. Here he has resided since the age of twelve years, and the work of the farm has devolved upon him from boyhood. He has here made such improvements as are needed on an up-to-date farm, and is directing his attention principally to general farming, also giving some attention to the line of sheep-raising.

FREDERICKTOWN - Daniel and Jabez Beers owned the land and started this town about 1835 or 1840. John Beebe had previously located his saw-mill there, and established a factory for making windmills. He sawed his own poplar lumber, from which the mills were made, and did, for some years, quite a business in that line. The Beers built a frame dwelling house and a woolen-mill, and for fifteen or twenty years, run a carding and fulling mill. These mills were very common in those days, but have long since disappeared.
