Soon after their marriage they settled in Madison County, Indiana, living there till their death, the father at the age of seventy-seven years, and the mother at the age of seventy-four years. Thomas Beal lived in his native county till twenty-three years of age, when he was married to Mary Ferrell, who was born in Trumbull County, Ohio, November 23, 1836, a daughter of Edward and Rozelle (Fish) Ferrell, natives of Pennsylvania, but were married in the State of Ohio. Of the twelve children born to Mr. and Mrs. Beal, nine are living -- Rebecca, a graduate of Burlington Commercial College, now the wife of George Richardson I; John E., married Mary Bracewell; Theodosia, a graduate of the Business College at Keokuk, Iowa, now assistant cashier of the Wayne County Bank; Roxy, wife of Benjamin Hughes; Mary Nevada, Seth Thomas, Hattie, Dollie and Clever. Three children died in infancy. In the fall of 1854 Mr. Beal came to Wayne County, Iowa, and bought eighty acres of land in Benton and Clay townships, the township line running through his farm. He settled on this place in the spring of 1855, and added to his original purchase till he owned about 2,700 acres, which he still owns, with the exception of three quarter-sections, which he has given to his married children. In the summer of 1865 Mr. Beal substituted a fine brick residence for the family dwelling which had been a shelter to his family from the time they settled in Benton Township. In February, 1880, he removed with his family to Corydon, where he has a fine brick residence, erected in 1879. Mr. Beal has long been one of the prominent stock-raisers of Wayne County, and his financial success in that pursuit has been exceptional. He is also one of the largest land-owners in the county, his success being due to his industry and good management. Long and continuous hard work has caused a heart trouble, which rendered it necessary for him to retire from the active duties of life. Both Mr. and Mrs. Beal and several of their children are members of the Missionary Baptist church, the parents having been connected with that religious body for thirty years. In politics Mr. Beal is a Democrat. Mrs. Beal's parents came to Wayne County in 1854, and settled on a farm in Corydon Township, where the father died February 15, 1864. The mother still lives at the homestead.
