OBITUARY ---------------

EDWARD BEALES

Times & Gazette

Dec 24, 1881

Captain Edward Beales, a veteran livery man of this place, died very suddenly last Monday evening. Captain Beales was born in Maine in 1807 and was therefore 74 years old at the time of his death. From Maine he moved to New Hampshire, thence to Boston and from there to this coast in 1849. He came to this county in 1852 and has resided here ever since. He built the stables on Main Street, which he occupied at the time of his death, and also we believe, the dwelling adjoining, where he lived. The remains of the Captain were buried in Union Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon.
