Lewis C. Beach

Lewis C. Beach, farmer and stock raiser, was born in Ohio, November 20, 1853, the son of Dr. Joshua and Hattie (Lynch) Beach, natives of the same State. The father was a leading physician in his native county for about thirty-five years. He moved to Missouri, and located in Kirksville in 1887. He is now retired from practice at the age of sixty-seven years.

Our subject grew to manhood in his native county, only two and a half miles from his wife's birthplace.

September 8, 1873, he married Carrie, a daughter of John Lowe. He then moved to Kirksville, and farmed his father's land near there for three years.

Since January, 1876, he has been on his present estate. It is a well-improved farm of 160 acres.

Our subject is a member of the I. O. O. P. fraternity, and his wife holds the faith of the Presbyterian Church. His only son is Guy B.
