A. S. BEALS
Albert S. Beals was born in the town of Shelby, Orleans county, N.Y., September 2, 1836. At the age of 17 years he went to Kendallville, Indiana, to reside with his sister, Mrs. Laura Daniels, with whom he was associated until her death, which occured in January, 1908.
He was converted in the winter of 1858, and united with the Baptist church. In February, 1858, he was united in marriage to Ella Armstrong, of Kendallville, Indiana, who died in January, 1867. To this union three children were born, Charles N., Henry C., and Laura, the latter living but 2 months. Both sons died in young manhood, Charles N. in Colorado and Henry C. in Kansas, both in 1886.
In the fall of 1868, he moved with his family from Kendallville, Ind., to Russell, Iowa. In January, 1870, he was married to Mary E. Douglass of Knowlesville, New York. To this union four children were born, Albert D., Mrs. Laura B. Clinton, Mrs. Mary M. Price and Archie E., all of whom are now living.
Mr. Beals was a man of sterling integrity, unassuming and in some ways reticent, yet when called into positions of trust and responsibility he had the ability to fill such in a most able manner. What he did, he did well. He served his community in many official capacities and was frequently called where good and impartial judgement was required.
He was a good father, a good husband, a good neighbor, a true and faithful friend, whose life rather than his profession proved his true christian character. He was ever true to his faith and church.
Coming to Iowa in 1868, he transferred his membership to the Chariton Baptist church and when the First Baptist church of Russell was organized largely through his influence, he became one of its first deacons, in which position he served until his death.
He was for many years Sunday school superintendent. He also served as Moderator of the Eden Association, which is now a part of the southern association. In deeds of charity and kindly sympathy, in Missionary contributions, he withheld not his hand, and in his life he contributed large sums to both state, home and foreign missions.
He was one of the early settlers who came after the railroad came through the county. He was permitted to live to a good age and died surrounded by loving friends. All his children and his devoted wife were at his bedside. A good man has gone, but his influence will live in the hearts of those who knew him and like the ripples from the pebble cast into the water, will reach out into ever widening expanse to bless those who follow.
Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church at 2:30 p.m., by Rev. M. J. Sigler, a former pastor, attended by many friends. The floral tributes were profuse and beautiful. Burial was in the Russell cemetery.
