Description
George Beeler died in Iowa Point (Kansas) in the early part of the present week. Mr. Beeler was another pioneer of Doniphan County. He came here we think, in 1855, and took up a claim on the bottom between White Cloud and Iowa Point. He owned several slaves, and was in good circumstances. For some years he prospered but the encroachments of the river gradually swept away every foot of his land; the admission of Kansas and the war liberated his slaves; and he sustained repeated losses, until he was left in poor circumstances. For several years past he has labored as a section hand on the railroad, and he died in poverty.Date(s) of Creation
