Indianapolis Journal- November 20, 1895:
The death of Fielding Beeler occurred at his home near this city at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, in his seventy-third year. He was born March 30, 1823 in Decatur Township, Marion County, Indiana, and his death breaks the very limited circle of those of his age native to this county. He was the oldest child of Joseph and Hannah Matthews Beeler, pioneers of central Indiana. From some time, diseases attendant upon age have asserted themselves, which, added to the anguish experienced at the recent death of his wife, with whom he had lived over a half century, made recovery doubtful under any conditions.
After marriage Mr. Beeler settled upon the farm where he has lived continuously until his death, just beyond Eagle creek, on the I. & V. railroad, three miles from this city. His quiet, unobtrusive life and methods would hardly suggest to the bustling world around him the true force of his character and what he had accomplished. Studious habits from youth had fitted him for intelligent companionship in many walks in life, and his knowledge of men and affairs was remarkable. Perhaps no citizen save Gen. John Coburn knew personally as many residents of this and adjacent counties as he. He was identified with the local and State Agricultural and Horticultural societies from their inception, and has served with credit in an official capacity in some of them without intermission for over forty years. He was secretary for some time for the State Board of Agriculture, and its general superintendent for a long period, thus forming an extended acquaintance among the exhibitors of stock and machinery throughout many States. At the time of his death he was treasurer of the State Horticultural Society. The current events of the world had a great fascination for him, and he was well informed as to this and other government's affairs. It was but proper that he was selected to serve in the State Legislature a term. His living colleagues in that body bear testimony to his loyalty and worth. His business life was not confined to the labors of the farm. For fifteen years he attended to large milling interests for himself and others, and was an active member of the Board of Trade of Indianapolis during that period.
The members of his family who survive him are his sisters, Mrs. Calvin Fletcher and Mrs. H. B. Hall, of this city; his son Fielding Beeler, a deputy in County Clerk Fesler's office, and his daughters, Misses Emily, Ida and Laura Beeler. His deceased sister, Mrs. Melissa New, and his brother George M. Beeler, a very distinguished young horticulturist, are remembered by the residents of thirty years ago. The funeral will be at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning from the residence, near Maywood. The burial will be at Crown Hill, conducted by the Masons.
