| Shared note | This is the obit for my Great grandfather (Karen Marie Clark) L. E. BEALL DIES AFTER ILLNESS OF LONG DURATION After an illness of several years Louis Erwin Beall, 68 years old and a member of an old Colonial family died Wednesday morning at 6:20 o'clock at "THE GABLES" his home in the National Pike, where he had been unconscious since Friday. Deceased was one of the projectors and principal owners of the Hygeia Company, the second ice and cold storage plant ever built in Pennsylvania and until his health made further activities impossible, he had been closely identified and largely responsible for this very successful plant, which has just completed its first quarter century. Mr. Beall was a son of Louis D. and Isabella H. Frey Beall, natives of Allegany County, Maryland, who had come to Pennsylvania and settled in the early 40's. Born on November 21, 1848, his early years were spent in Uniontown where he prepared for college and entered Washington and Jefferson where he was a student for several years. In 1874, he received an appointment at Denver, Colorado, under the late Thomas B. Searight at that time, Surveyor General of the territory. Three years later, Mr. Beall was transferred to a position in the Post Office Department at Washington under Postmaster General David M. Key, and after six years in this office, was made acting chief of the bureau of contracts and supplies in the Navy Department, vice the paymaster general, which position he held until 1890 when he returned to niontown and with the late Judge Nathaniel Ewing as a partner, erected the Hygeia plant of which he was general manager. In December 1884, Mr. Beall married Miss Harriet Morgan Clark, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Clark of Brooklyn, the ceremony being the event of the Washington season, and to them were born three children, Louis Erwin, Jr., Priscilla McKaig, and Edward Clark Beall. It will be recalled by many friends of the family that today is the ninth anniversary of Thanksgiving Friday, 1907, on which it was announced that the elder son had lost his life while canoeing in the Delaware river with classmates from Princeton. The young man, who was a brilliant student, was expecting to graduate with honors the following spring and his tragic death was the sorrow of his father's life. Mrs. Beall, Miss Priscilla, and Edward Beall and Mr. Beall's two sisters, Mrs. Mary Gilmore of Uniontown, and Mrs. William Vance of New York, survived deceased. The late Clarence H. Beall was a brother. The Beall family is one of the most noted in the history of Maryland, having given officers to the American Revolution and founders to some of that state's principal towns. Mr. Beall was a direct descendent of Thomas Beall, founder of Cumberland, Md. and George Beall, founder of Georgetown, District of Columbia, and was a member of the Maryland Society of the Cincinnati. He was also a member of the Maryland Society of the Metropolitan club of Washington, DC and numbered among his intimate friends many of the men among the nation's heroes. Although he had not lived in Washington for more than 25 years, the family have spent many winters in the south and the old friendships were kept up. Mr. Beall belonged to the Laurel and Country Clubs of Uniontown and he was one of the first and most ardent supporters of the Uniontown Golf Club in which he took great interest, first as an active member and later through the playing of his wife and children whose success in the local tournaments as well as those at Pinehurst, NC gave him much pleasure. While definite arrangements have not been made for his funeral, it is very probable the services will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in "The Gables" with Rev. Albert Neilson Slayton, rector of St. Peter's church, officiating. The interment which will be made in Oak Grove cemetery, will be private. |
