Read More	The Clearfield Enterprise June 8, 1916 Zadok Beamer, familiarly known as Uncle Zed, was born in Clinton County, Ohio, Nov. 16, 1840, and died May 30th, 1916, aged 75 years, 9 months, and 14 days. When he was 14 years of age his parents removed to Appanoose Co., Iowa, where he grew to manhood. The Civil War broke out as he was bearing his majority, and he was among the first to respond to the call for volunteers, enlisting: in Co. D. of the 6th Iowa Volunteer Infantry. After three years of hard service he was honorably discharged in July, 1864. Returning home he became for a time a stage driver on the Mount Ayr, Bedford and Clarinda route. Later he was married to Martha F. Stephenson, who still survives, and has been a faithful helpmate, in the labors, joys, and sorrows that have come to their home. Five of their seven children preceded him in death, four boys dying in childhood, and Louella at the age of sixteen. The surviving are E. D. Beamer and Mrs. Lena Huffman. There are also nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Mr. Beamer was the fifth in a family of twelve, seven boys and five girls. Four of these survive as follows, - Isaac M. Beamer, Liberty, Nebr.; Alexander Beamer, Louisburg, Kans; Mrs. Mary Wells, Centerville, Iowa; and Robert C. Beamer of Clearfield. From 1871, till he removed to his late residence in Clearfield he was a prominent farmer in Benton township, Ringgold Co., making a specialty of feeding stock. Thru industry and frugality he became what many neighbors called prosperous. For many years he was a director in and much of the time the presiding officer of the Farmers State Bank of Clearfield. For about three years he has been suffering from the dread disease of cancer, and in spite of all that medical skill and loving care could do, its ravages were not stayed. Tho' passing thru terrible suffering, yet he was remarkably patient, seldom a word of complaint or fretfulness fell from his lips. As a husband and father Mr Beamer will be remembered as most kind and loving; as a citizen, honorable and progressive; as a business man, upright and dependable. In late years Mr. Beamer was a diligent reader of the Bible. Callers frequently found him with the open Bible in his hands or with it open on the table at his side. He frequently testified to his wish to be found among the redeemed in heaven, and declared that his trust was grounded only in the merit of Jesus. He expressed himself too as having no sympathy with those who spurn, or even neglect the Christ as the Savior of sinners; even tho he himself made no public profession of faith in Him. Mr. Beamer's army record was an enviable one. He stood among the bullets of many of the hardest fought battles of the war, while many of his comrades fell at his side. He participated in the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Jackson, Mississippi, Black River Bridge, Mission Ridge, Resaca and the principal engagements from Chattanooga to Atlanta. Funeral services were held at the United Presbyterian church on Thursday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. T. R. Aikin, assisted by Pastors Carlson and Johnson. The G. A. R. and Relief Corps attended in a body. Interment was in the Clearfield Cemetery.
