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.
