Capt. Beachbard was born and reared in Madison, but has been a citizen of Rushville for more than thirty years, he having come here as a journeyman harness-maker, some time in the Fifties.
At the outbreak of the war, he and the late Col. Joel Wolfe promptly raised a company, which was assigned to the old 16th Indiana, of which, as Mr. Wolfe was made Major, he became Captain. His commission is dated April 20, 1861, indicating the promptness of his offer of service to his imperilled country. He bore the same rank in the reorganized 16th Regiment until its muster-out. His comrades universally speak of him as a faithful soldier, and ever ready for duty.
Capt. Beachbard leaves a widow (a daughter of Thos. Wooster) and a son and daughter. He was an uncle of the lat Hon. Jesse J. Spann, whose mother was his sister. He passed his fifty-eighth birthday a few weeks ago.
