William Harrison BEELER (paragraph 08, p. 766)
An important step in the life of Mr. BEELER was taken Sept. 25 [26], 1867, when in Oskaloosa, he was united in marriage with Sarah Frances SEAL. The bride was born near Carthage, Jasper Co., Mo., March 8, 1849, and was reared and educated in her native county. Her father, James SEAL, was a native of Ohio, as was her grandfather, and the family were of Scotch-Irish descent. James SEAL followed farming in his native State for a time, then removed to Indiana, and later to Jasper County, Mo., where he continued the pursuit of agriculture until his death. His wife bore the maiden name of Martha DOUGHTY, was also born in the Buckeye State and was the daughter of Elijah DOUGHTY, a farmer there. In 1859 she took her family to Texas, locating on a farm in Fayette County, but times became too lively there for their comfort or safety, and they returned to Missouri in 1861. The following year they removed to Kansas by teams, taking up their abode near Lawrence, whence, the next year, they came to Jefferson County, locating in Rural Township. There the mother remained until 1867, when she became an inmate of the household of our subject, dying at his home in May, 1869. She was a worthy member of the Methodist Church. She was the mother of nine children--Elizabeth, William, Eliza, Daniel, James, Joseph, Thomas, Ann, and Sarah. William lives in Carthage, Mo.; Mrs. Eliza BISHOP, in Lawrence; James, in Cowley County, Kan.; Joseph, in Oklahoma; Thomas, in Barton County, Mo.; the others are deceased, with the exception of the wife of our subject.
