AMSEY BEEDLE: Another respected citizen of the community, a veteran of the Civil War in the company dear to the hearts of our people, C of the 29th Iowa has answered the last bugle call and now rests with so many, of his comrades in the last sleep. He was born February 11th, 1841, in Warren county, OH. His father died when he was a child, but with his mother came to Council Bluffs about the year 1852. He attended school in that city a few years and later in this township. At the age of 17 he started to work for himself which he continued until 1862 when he enlisted in Co. C at Magnolia and served until he was discharged at New Orleans in 1865. He was mustered out at Davenport. At the close of service he went to Woodbine where he entered the woolen mill and learned the trade of a weaver. Five years later he began farming in Jefferson township and by hard work and economy he acquired 360 acre of land in this and Cass township. He retired from active farm work in 1911, but remained on the farm which he had fitted up with all of the convenciences. He was married in 1868 to Elizabeth Keairnes and to this union eight children were born--Mrs. Laura Armstrong, George, Mrs Bessie Daughtery, Verne, Jessie, Maud and Mrs. Irene Haner, most of whom with the wife survive to mourn the loss of a good father and faithful companion. Mr.Beedle was a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge and the G. A. R, a good citizen and an honest man. He died in an Omaha hospital of uremia poisoning after about ten days of illness. The great Civil War, which this country experienced, was one of the worst calamities that could befall any nation, and all honor is due to those brave men who fought that the Union might be saved. There is something fine and noble about the thought of thousands of youths going forth from home and family to face unknown dangers, and, if necessary, to give their lives for that which they thought was right, and those men who went through the war and lived to tell of its horrors, are worthy of all honor and consideration. A veteran who has served his country, both as soldier and as civic officer, is Amsey Beedle. Amsey Beedle, the son of a father of whom he has no remembrance, and who died when he was an infant, and Amanda (McCoy) Beedle, was born in Warren county, Ohio, February 11, 1841. His mother was a native of Ohio, and came to Council Bluffs, Iowa, with her second husband about 1852. She was the mother of five children, two of whom are living. She died in 1914, at Harlan, Iowa. The opportunities for a good education, in Mr. Beedle’s boyhood, were rare, and his educational training consisted of that secured in the common schools, near his home in Ohio. He came to Iowa with his mother and step-father. After arriving in Iowa, he resumed his schooling in Council Bluffs and later in the district of Jefferson township, Harrison county, Iowa. At the age of seventeen, he started to work by the month, on the farms of the neighbors, and continued in this work until the outbreak of the Civil War, when he enlisted at Magnolia, Iowa, in 1862, in Company C, of the Twenty-ninth Regiment, Iowa Volunteer Infantry. He served bravely throughout the war, saw a great deal of active service in the south, and was finally discharged at New Orleans, in 1865, being mustered out at Davenport, Iowa. After the close of the war, Mr. Beedle went to Woodbine, Iowa, where he worked in a woolen mill and learned the trade of a loom weaver. Having accumulated some capital, five years later he began farming in Jefferson township, in this county, by buying untilled land and breaking it up, erecting a few buildings and making other improvements. Mr. Beedle has always been a hard worker, and, as a result of his labors, has met with a fair share of success. At one time he owned three hundred and sixty acres of land in Cass and Jefferson townships, while he is now the owner of two hundred acres in Jefferson and Cass townships. Mr. Beedle retired from active farm life in 1911, but still lives on his farm, where he has built a comfortable home that stands among a magnificent grove of trees, as an emblem of hard years of toil. Amsey Beedle was married to Elizabeth Keairnes in 1868, and to this union eight children have been born, Mrs. Carrie Waters, who lives on a farm near Woodbine; Mrs. Laura Armstrong, who resides in Omaha, Nebraska; George, deceased; Mrs. Bessie Daugherty, of Woodbine; Verne, who lives in Cass township, Harrison county; Jessie, also a resident of Cass township; Maud, who is still at home with her parents, and Mrs. Irene Hainer, of Magnolia township. Mrs. Beedle was born on January 1, 1848, in Atchison county, Missouri, and is a daughter of Wilson and Sarah E. (Parks) Keairnes. Wilson Keairnes, who is a native of Ohio, is still living at the advanced age of ninety years. He makes his home in Dunlap, Iowa. His wife was born in Coles county, Illinois, her death occurring in 1907, at the age of eighty-four. Mr. Beedle holds to the tenets of the Republican party, on which ticket he was elected constable of Jefferson township. He is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and also belongs to the Post of the Grand Army of the Republic at Woodbine. The spirit which prompted Mr. Beedle to go to the defense of his country, when it was threatened with dissolution, is the same spirit which has caused him to fight for good government, and his true patriotism, expressed in high ideals, has won for him the confidence and sincere respect of his friends and neighbors. --"History of Harrison County, Iowa: its people, industries and institutions, with biographical sketches of representative citizens and genealogical records of many of the old families”, 1915, pp. 905 - 906. AMSEY BEEDLE, of whom we now write, was born February 11, 1841, in Warren County, Ohio, came to Council Bluffs in 1852, and to Harrison County in August, 1856. His step-father, Alexander E. McCoy, built the first house in Jeddo, and later on put an addition to it in which he conducted a general store, continuing the same for two years. Mr. Beedle was but sixteen years of age at the time of coming to the county, and in the spring of 1857 he embarked in life for himself by working on a farm by the month for George Thorpe for two years. In August, 1862, he enlisted as a member of Company C, 29th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, serving three years. After having faithfully served his country, peace having been declared, he received an honorable discharge at Davenport, Iowa, in August, 1865. He then purchased a horse, riding across the State to Harrison County, arriving about September 1st. For five years he worked in Dalley & Co.’s woolen mills at Woodbine, and during the time purchased eighty acres of land on section 13, of Jefferson Township. He lived on the land about one year, sold it and went into a sawmill, located at Six-Mile Creek near Jeddo. He bought the place on which he now lives in 1876. At first he purchased forty acres but has kept adding until he now is the possessor of a half section of Harrison County's valuable land -- two hundred of which are in Jefferson and one hundred and twenty acres in Cass. Mr. Beedle, our subject, was married in 1861, to Mary J. Hall, daughter of Dr. D. M. Hall, who settled in Douglas Township in an early day. He was again married January 1, 1868, to Elizabeth A. Keirnes, a native of Missouri, born January 1, 1848. Mr. and Mrs. Beedle are the parents of seven children as follows: Carry, Laura, George, Bessie, Laverna, Jessie, and Maude. Mr. Beedle is a pensioner under the act of June 27, 1890. --“History of Harrison County, Iowa”, 1891, p. 359.
