Alonzo Mariner BEAL was born to Lois Mansfield Norton Beal (1840 - 1896) and Joseph Ellsworth Beal (1834 - 1917) on 20 January 1863 in Beals Island, Washington County, Maine.
He appeared in the census in 1880 in Beals Island (now known as Jonesport), Washington County, Maine. Alonzo was 18 years old and living in the home of his father and mother.
Alonzo married Hannah Bernice BEAL on 24 November 1883 in Beals Island, Washington County, Maine.
They appeared in the census in 1900 in Beals Island, Washington County, Maine.
After 1900, Alonzo and Hannah were visited by missionaries of the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints. Believing that he could find wealth and a better circumstance, Alonzo moved his family to Jackson County, Missouri, the home base of the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints.
The history of the Community of Christ, formerly known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, covers a period of approximately 200 years. The church's early history traces to the "grove experience" of a young boy named Joseph Smith, Jr., who prayed in the woods near his home in Palmyra New York in the early 1800s. Several accounts of this experience have surfaced over the years. Most of the accounts share a common narrative indicating that when he went to the woods to pray, he experienced a period of encountering evil or despair, but then experienced an epiphany or vision in which he came to know and understand God's goodness. Many years later he founded a Christian church on April 6, 1830.
After Joseph Smith's murder, some Latter Day Saints believed that Smith had designated his eldest son, Joseph Smith III, as successor and some of these waited for young Joseph to take up his father's mantle. However, young Smith III was only 11 years old at the time of his father's death — his mother Emma Hale Smith and their family remained in Nauvoo, rather than moving to join any of the departing groups.
In the 1850s, groups of Midwestern Latter Day Saints who were unaffiliated with other Latter Day Saint factions (or who had left such affiliations) began to come together. Leaders began to call for the creation of a New Organization of the Latter Day Saint movement. They invited young Smith III to lead their New Organization and he accepted only after he believed he received a personal spiritual confirmation that this was the appropriate course of action. At a conference on April 6, 1860 at Amboy, Illinois, Smith III formally accepted the leadership of what was then known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. William Marks, former Stake President of Nauvoo served as Smith III's counselor in the reorganized First Presidency. The word Reorganized was added to the official church name in 1872, mostly to distinguish it from the larger Utah church, at that time already involved in controversy over its stance on polygamy.
Alonzo Mariner Beal, with his wife and children, appeared in the census in 1930 in Blue, Jackson County, Missouri. Alonzo and Hannah were living next to their son, Vernon, and his family.
Alonzo died in December 1946 in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri.
