From the History of Mower County, 1911:
Alvah E. Beadell, former merchant, now a Lansing farmer, was born at Helena, Wis., in 1862, descended from an old Wisconsin family. His father, Luther Beadell, was a blacksmith and farmer, while his grandfather, Alvah Culver, was a merchant and Mississippi steamboat owner, being one of the first men to run a line of steamboats on the Wisconsin river. His mother, Abbie Culver, was a member of the Wisconsin pioneer family of that name.
The subject of this sketch passed his early life on a farm in Wisconsin, and in 1891 came to Lansing village, entering the employ of Harvey McIntyre, as a clerk. He afterward conducted a hardware store of his own in the same village for nine years. Since that time he has devoted his life entirely to farming. He is one of the progressive men of Lansing, interested especially in the town government, having served as treasurer of Lansing township for sixteen years. He belongs to the Masons and the Modern Woodmen. Mr. Beadell was married, some years ago, to Bessie Soule, daughter of Rensselaer Soule and Cornelia Hawley, his wife, for many years well known residents of Lansing. The subject of this sketch is the father of six children: Mary A., Lester, Edwin, Clarence, Don and Walter.
