JUDGE BEAL PASSES AWAY
DEATH OF NOTABLE CHARACTER A GRIEVOUS LOSS TO THE CITY HE LOVED SO WELL.

DIED
In this city, January 31, 1910
MARIUS SAMUEL BEAL
Aged 62 years.
The remains will be interred at Topeka, Kansas, where repose the remains of his wife and his mother

The question of county division was also one in which he was long an enthusiastic worker and to his painstaking detail work, carried on faithfully for many months, is largely due the success of the movement.

Judge BEAL had no relatives with him when he died, and, aside from the bare outline of his life prior to his residence in Vegas, but little is known here of his history. His wife died and was buried in Topeka, Kansas, about 19 years ago when the younger of his two daughters was born. His mother survived until about three years ago, when she, too, died in Topeka. His surviving relatives, so far as known, are a son, Carroll X. BEAL, residing in Danville, Ill.; a son [s/b brother], Joseph BEAL, in Boise, Idaho; a daughter residing in San Francisco; a daughter in Oklahoma; a brother, L. G. BEAL, in Topeka, Kansas, and a brother, Carroll N. BEAL, in San Francisco.

Judge BEAL was a member of Free and Accepted Masons, Lodge No. 7, of Denver, and the funeral services in this city were conducted by the local lodge. The brethren convened in a lodge of sorrow Tuesday at 4:30 at Masonic Hall, and proceeded in due form to the undertaking parlors of Lloyd SMITH on Second street. Here the Masonic services were conducted by Worshipful Master W. R. THOMAS and Chaplain Harry G. GRAY and the last grand honors were rendered to the deceased brother. The remains were then escorted to the depot for shipment to Topeka, Kansas, for burial, near his wife and mother.

It may be of interest to the many acquaintances of the deceased to know that, in the lonely life he led in his little home on Third street, the Holy Bible, in which his name was lovingly inscribed by the hand of his aged mother years ago, was his constant companion and inspiration. And there are few so well versed in the Bible or who gave it such constant and loving study as did our friend Judge Marius S. BEAL. And may he find in that bourne from whence no traveler returns the peace for which he so longed in this life.

Death of M. S. Beal. A Former Kansas and a Brother of L. G. Beal, of Topeka. Marius Samuel Beal, an old-time Kansan, and a brother of Lynn G. Beal, of Topeka, died at Las Vegas, Nevada, last Monday (Jan 31, 1910) as the result of an attack of pneumonia. Sam Beal, as he was called by his friends, was well known in public and political life in this state twenty-five years ago. He lived in Pottawatomie county from 1868 until 1891, and for many years was one of the active, leading Republicans in that section, and took a prominent part in the party councils in the state, although he never held but one public office. He was elected clerk of the district court of Pottawatomie county in 1872 and served continuously until 1882, when he declined re-election in order that he might devote all of his time to his business affairs.

He came to Kansas from Indianapolis in 1866, settling at Leavenworth. The following year he was one of a party of surveyors who traveled across the western plains doing government work, a trip that was extremely hazardous at that time. In 1868 his family moved from Leavenworth to Louisville [KS], where he joined them. Louisville was at that time the county seat of Pottawatomie county. After his election as district clerk in 1872, he studied law and was subsequently admitted to the bar. In 1873 he and his brothers began a set of abstracts of title to lands in Pottawatomie county, and two years later they established a bank at Louisville. When the county seat was moved to Westmoreland in 1882, they transferred their business interest to that place.

In 1891 Mr. Beal left Westmoreland and located in Denver, Color., where he practiced law four years, and was recognized as an authority on matters relating to mines and minerals. Subsequently, he moved to San Francisco, Cal., where a brother, C. N. Beal, formerly of Topeka, now lives. In 1904 he made a tour around the world, and after his return settled at Las Vegas, Nevada, where he engaged in the practice of the law until his death.

During the time of his political activities in this state he was a friend and supporter of John J. Ingalls and was intimately associated with James Merritt, Joseph C. Wilson, Dick Walker and other of the old guard who have passed away.

Mr. Beal was born in Switzerland county, Indiana, March 7, 1848, and was educated at the Northwestern Christian university at Indianapolis. He was a son of Judge John A. and Mary Williams Beal, both of whom are dead. He married July 21, 1869, at Louisville, Kan., to Miss Elizabeth McComas, who died in 1891. He is survived by four children, Mrs. Jason C. Clark and Miss Marie Beal, of Oklahoma City, Mrs. Garnet B. Denny, of Imnaha, Ore., and C. X. Beal, of Danville, Ill., and by three brothers, C. N. Beal, of San Francisco, J. A. Beal, of Boise, Idaho, and L. G. Beal, of this city.

The funeral will be held at his brother’s residence, 1101 Taylor street, at 4 o’clock this afternoon, and the interment will be at the Topeka cemetery, where his parents and his wife are buried.
