Civil War Veteran.
John Hanson Beadle, journalist and author, was born in Liberty township, Parke County, Indiana, Mar. 14, 1840, son of James Ward and Elizabeth (Bright) Beadle. As a youth of twenty-one he enlisted in the 31st Indiana Infantry, Company A, for the Civil War, serving as a private until 1862, when he was discharged for disability. He then entered the State University of Michigan, where he studied law in addition to his regular subjects, and was graduated in 1867. He was admitted to the bar, but afer practicing in Evansville, Indiana for one year, abandoned that profession for the career of a journalist. His first newspaper work was done for the Cincinnnati Commercial following which he spent eight years in the far West, the first year as editor of the Salt Lake Reporter. His Life in Utah, Western Wilds and the Men Who Redeem Them, and The Undeveloped West are the results of his experiences in the western states.

JOHN H. BEADLE, one of the most brilliant writers in the State of Indiana, died at Rockville at an early hour on last Saturday morning. Mr. BEADLE was born in Parke County March 14, 1840, where he had spent the greater part of his life, and for many years was editor of the Rockville Tribune. He developed as a wonderful writer, and his services were sought by the best newspapers in the country. He was special correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial for many years, and traveled all over the west for that paper, making his headquarters at Salt Lake, UT. He wrote a description and thrilling history of Mormonism in UT, which met with an immense sale and realized him big money. Of late years he had been connected with the American Press Association and made his headquarters in New York and Washington City. The last time the writer met him was at the World’s Fair in Chicago. His health at that time was not the best, but he was a man who never complained very often. He was always cheerful and never failed to look on the bright side of everything. He was a great conversationalist, a regular walking encyclopedia as it were, and with his rich store of information, which was always on tap, it was amusing to see how he could electrify a crowd and hold their attention for hours and hours at a single sitting. He was a wonderful entertainer and had friends by the thousands wherever he was known. Nobody disliked JOHN H. BEADLE. All courted his society, and everyone regrets to hear his death. The funeral occurred on Saturday last. His remains were taken to Washington City for interment.
