Death of Charles u. Bea,e.
Charles G. Beale an old and highly es-
teemed citizen died yesterday, at his resi-
dence, No. 341 North Lime street, in the
SGD year Of his age, after a brief illness.
About two weeks ago he was Frustrated
by pneumonia, and on Friday last had a
stroke Of paralysis, which no doubt fastened
his death.
Mr.. Bealc was born in Buckingham,
Montgomery county, Pa, on the 18th of
March, 1900. He married Margaret Ruth,
of Berks county, Nov. 23d 1926. The only
child resulting from his marriage was a
son, and it died Sept. 5th, 1882. In early
life MIR. Beale removed to Philadelphia,
where he carried on tho grocery business
for fifteen years. During his residence in
Philadelphia he was a member and elder
of the Twelfth Baptist church, Ken
singtOn, and took an active part in
all church affairs. He came to Lancaster
about 80 years ago, and took up his resi-
dence in the Eighth ward. He was elected
and served as assessor of the ward for
some years, and was also elected member
Of the school board, in which capacity he
served faithfully for about nine years. He
was an uncomprOmising Democrat, and
when the Republicans, havin. made sew
eral Intellectual attempts to get control Of
the school board, finally adopted the plan
OF electing board of thirty-six members,
(nO voter being allowed to vote for more
than eighteen) Mr.. Beale suggested I" a
cumulative plan of voting, whereby the
Democrats succeeded in electing twenty
one members, thus continuing that party
in control for several years. For several
years he was collector of the delinquent
school tax, and when about 1874 he retired
from the board, he continued the business
of collecting bills for city merchants and
others. Several years ago he purchased
street in which he died.

most upright and worthy citizen. He was
the uncompromising foe of vice in all its
forms and an active champion in the
cause of public education, morality and
religion. He was leading spirit in the
establishment of the First Baptist
church of this city, as he had been
in the Twelfth church, Philadel-
phia, and set his face firmly against
even the appearance of evil among the
members. He died in full fellowship of
the church and with an abiding faith in a
blessed Immortality. Mr.. Beale leaves no
immediate relatives except his wife, who
was born the same year he was, with whom
he lived happily for almost 55 years, and to
whom he leaves all of his estate. His
