Civil War: Company D, 2nd California Cavalry
Houston Ebenezer Beal was the son of Benjamin Beal (1806, NC-after 1880, MO) and his first wife, Lydia Green (1807, TN-1855, MO). In 1850 he was living at the home of his parents at Springfield, Tennessee (1850 US Census). Houston had moved to California by 1860, where he appears as a resident of San Mateo County (1860 US Census). During the Civil War he enlisted as a private at Sacramento, California, and was mustered into Company D, 2nd California Cavalry, April 25, 1864. He was posted to Arizona Territory where he was promoted to sergeant. Sergeant Beal was on detached service at the time his company was mustered out and received his own discharge in Arizona Territory on June 11, 1866 (Orton, p. 226). After the war he went to Missouri long enough to marry Sarah M. Boyd in Greene County on June 11, 1868, and then returned with her to a farm outside Prescott, Yavapai County, Arizona Territory (1870 US Census). Sometime thereafter he relocated to a farm outside Rock Prairie, Dade County, Missouri (1880 US Census). He then moved his family to a farm in Harper County, Kansas (1885 Kansas Census). Houston moved again, this time to Greene County, Missouri, where he filed for a Civil War veteran's pension on May 8, 1891, and received application No. 1,022,295 and certificate No. 895,096. Houston appears as a resident at Franklin in Greene County in the 1900 U.S. Census. He re-filed for his pension in Texas County, Oklahoma, October 11, 1908. He died there just three months later. After his death his wife Sarah filed for a widow's pension in Texas County, Oklahoma, March 16, 1909, and received application No. 915,479 and certificate No. 710,078.
