General Notes: Husband - Luke P. Beazell

---

He first attended the common schools, completing his education at Monongahela City, Pennsylvania. In 1861 he enlisted in Company D, Seventy-ninth Regiment, P. V. I., under Captain McBride; they were first sent to Louisville, Kentucky, and took part in the battle of Perryville, then marched into Tennessee, and fought at Stone River; from the latter place they followed Bragg to Chickamauga, and after that engagement returned to Tennessee, taking part in the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. At this time Mr. Beazell re-enlisted, and being assigned to the same division, joined in the contest at Buzzards Roost, Georgia; then remained with Sherman until the capture of Atlanta, afterward accompanying him in his famous march to the sea. Luke P. Beazell also fought in the battle of Bentonville, where his division had to confront Johnston's entire army, and, finally, participated in the grand review at Washington, D. C. He was promoted during Sherman's raid to the rank of lieutenant, and July 12, 1865, received an honorable discharge. After the war Mr. Beazell returned home to Washington County, and opened a planing mill at Monongahela City.
After his marriage he opened a saw and planing mill at Coal Centre, and then conducted a tannery business for three years. He afterward opened a meat market, which he kept for twenty years; later he was a partner in and superintendent of the California Glass Company, dealing also in agricultural implements. In political matters he voted with the Republican party, and held many borough offices; he served for fourteen years as trustee of the Southwestern State Normal School at California. He was a member and trustee of the Disciple Church. Socially he was a member of Harry Billingsley Post, No. 168, G. A. R., having joined the post as a charter member in 1867.
