Upon coming to Hancock county the two elder members of the Beard family, John and Joel, each entered eighty acres of land in Marion township from the government, cleared it and built a log hut in which Joel lived until his death. Joel later added forty acres to his holding and brought the whole under cultivation. Both were natives of Kentucky. They were men of sterling qualities, able to cope with the difficulties that beset the path of the frontiersman. Both have passed away, but both will go down in the history of this community as thoroughly good men."
