Subject: Levi Bigelow
Hi Rod. Al Streit from Albany, California suggested that I get in touch
with you about our extended family. He had provided me with some
genealogical data several years ago.
Levi Bigelow (1788 - 1869) is
my 3rd great grandfather. My great-grandmother, Mary Rosalie Schultz (1866 - 1901) married
Charles Davis Beale in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1893 Here are
some notes from my PAF records: "About 1900, his wife, Rose, took their
daughter, Rosalie, down to the Union Station in Chicago, Illinois to
say goodbye to Charles. This was the last time that Rosalie ever saw
her father and there was never any further contact with him to the
knowledge of Rosalie.
According to his father's obituary, Charles was living in Oakland,
California in 1904.
A review of the SOUNDEX files of the U.S. Census for 1910 does not
reveal a Charles Davis Beale for California, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri
or Oklahoma.
The 1930 U.S. Census identifies a Charles D. Beale as living in West
College Place Precinct in Walla Walla, Washington with Ella M. The
adopted daughter is not shown. He owned his home an estimated value of
$3,000. They had a radio and the family was living on a farm. The
Census respondent stated that Charles was first married when he was 23
years of age, he had not attended school or college any time since
September 1, 1929 and he was able to read and write. The record states
that he was born in New York and that his father was born in
Massachusetts and his mother was born in Virginia. Charles was a farmer
on a truck farm. He apparently had his own business. He was not a
military veteran. The "No. of farm schedule" was "8". The Washington
Vital Records provides a death date. The Census states that Charles was
first married when he was 23 years old and that matches my records.
In June 2011, John Kracha went to Walla Walla and reviewed public
records in the Walla Walla Public Library Adult Room.
The following was extracted from Polk's Walla Walla City Directory
(R.L. Polk & Co. Seattle WA): 1921 to 1924 Stock breeder and
dealer; 1925 to 1927 Stockman; 1929 to 1935 Farmer; 1939 r. West Spruce
Street; 1946 "Charlie" at Blue Mountain Sanatorium. Residence was in
College Place 1922 to 1949.
"Illness takes CD Beale, 78
Charles Davis Beale of Southwest Second street, College Place, who
retired from the position as caretaker of the Blue Mountain sanitarium
in August of 1946 because of ill health, died Tuesday morning in a
Walla Walla hospital. He was 78 years old.
Coming to the Walla Walla valley in 1910, he worked several years as
foreman at the Blalock orchards and in 1932 took over the job as
caretaker at the sanatorium." (Walla Walla Union Bulletin, March 1,
1949)
The obituary states "March 1 at a local hospital, Charles Davis Beale
of Southwest Second Street, College Place, aged 78 years: husband of
Ella May Beale of College Place; father of Marshall Beale of San Diego,
Calif.; and Mrs. Don (Maxine) Tilken of Safford, Ariz.; brother of Mrs.
H. L. Messinger of Saugerties, N.Y., and Al M. Beale of LaGrange, Ill.
Born October 30, 1870 in New York city. Member of Episcopal church.
Remains at the Marshall funeral home. Funeral notice later. (The
mentioned sister Mrs. H.L. Messinger is probably Helen Louise born 25
September 1868)
He is buried at Mountain View Cemetery, WALLA-MV-52-7-4, Walla Walla,
Washington
I believe that this Charles Davis Beale is my grandfather and that he
remarried a second time. I cannot find a Marshall Beale in San Diego or
Maxine Tilken of Safford, Helen Louise Beale Messinger of Saugerties
and I am not able to identify Al M. Beale.
I am contacting you on the outside chance that your vast holdings might
dispute/ confirm my suspicions. If the records do support that this is
my grandfather and you would like citations, please let me know and I
will provide the additional information.
Thanks.
