Mr. Beal's birthplace in New York was Evans, near the city of Buffalo. He came to California in 1854 and located in Nevada county where he remained, however, but a few months. His home for a number of years and until he left that part of the State in 1864 was in Placer county at Dutch Flat. In 1864 he came to San Jose where he subsequently resided. It was during a visit to the East in 1859 that Mr. Beal married. His death came from the effects of Bright's disease from which he suffered severely for some months preceding. He was a man of high character, broad intelligence and humane impulses and by all who knew him was regarded as a model citizen, worthy of the sturdy, strong and noble Revolutionary stock from which he came. By his family and intimate friends his passing away will be profoundly mourned. The funeral will take place to-day at 1:30 [:COLOR][SCAP:][COLOR:68,68,68,255,255,255]p. m.[:COLOR][:SCAP]
