Husband (Twice Married)
M1: Catherine Charlotte Marsh ( ? - 1880)
M2: Elizabeth "Lizzie" Levy (1857 - 1911)
Father of (at least) Fourteen (14) Children between both marriages.
Samuel and Catherine had been married for nine years and had three living children when the Civil War began. Samuel did not go to war, but had three brothers who served, and survived.
Instructions for the census-takers of 1880 include "The Name of each Person whose place of abode on 1st day of June 1880, was in this family."
For the family of Samuel Beals, the name of wife Catherine is listed, with the note "Hung herself June 3." Catherine was fifty years old.
The youngest child, a daughter, was age ten. Catherine's graceful pink marble stone is in the Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery, the property for which was donated by the Beals family.
Seven months later (January 1881) Samuel married Lizzy Levy, and in September of that year their first child was born.
Samuel's obituary says he had fourteen children, seven by the first marriage, six by the second, and one step-son. This however does not take into account the two children who died young, one by each wife.
Note: The step-son, Warren Baker, has not yet been traced, and it is unclear how he could be the son by a first marriage of either Catherine Marsh (living at home with her parents in 1850 census) or Lizzy Leavy (at home with her parents in 1880). He does not appear in any census in the Samuel Beals household.
