David C. Beaman

David C. Beaman was born in Lawrence County, Ohio, on November 22, 1838, the son of Rev. Gamaliel C. and Amelia (Crichton) Beaman. His father, who was a native of Massachusetts, was a son of David Beaman, a selectman of his town; in youth he was given excellent educational advantages and prepared for college at Amherst Academy, later graduating from Union College, in Schenectady, New York, and 1831 completing the theological course at Andover. [Brother to James L. Beaman]

Ballard School

In about 1843 we were attached to the Ballard School District on Solida and the next two terms of school I attended were in this district.  The teachers were Mr. Keith and John S. Kelvey.  Mr. Keith was a cripple and had to use a crutch, but he could almost jump across the schoolhouse at one bound when he saw a pupil in mischief.
