        WILLARD BEACH is the son of LYMAN and LEVA (JUDD) BEACH, and was
     born in Canada December 5, 1836.  His parents were natives of Con-
     necticut, moving from that State to Canada at an early day, thence
     moving hither and settling on Morgan Prairie in 1838, where they
     resided until 1867, at that period moving to Jackson Township, their
     present residence.  Mr. WILLARD BEACH has obtained a reasonably fair
     education, and has followed the primitive life of a farmer since his
     boyhood.  He came to this place on which he lives, and which he owns,
     in 1867; it comprises ninety acres, and is well improved.  On January
     1, 1861, he was married to HANNAH PEOPLES, who died June 8, 1874,
     leaving a family of six children - LEVA, LYMAN, ELLA, WILDEN, WALTER
     and RALPH.  On December 23, 1874, he was married to ROSANNA ADAMS, a
     native of this county, and born in 1835; she is a member of the
     Christian Church.  By this second marriage he has had two children
     born to him - MATTIE and STELLA; both of whom, however, are dead.
     Mr. BEACH is a Democrat, but one of the most liberal of that shade
     of political opinion.
