ISRAEL BEACH, farmer, was born March 14, 1819, son of Stephen W. and Sarah (Simpson) Beach. His educational advantages were exceedingly limited. He commenced life by clearing a farm, and as the result of industry and frugal living, now has a fine farm of two hundred acres. For the past twenty-five years he has been successfully engaged in farming and stock raising. December 25, 1839, at the house of his wife’s parents in Irwin township, he was married to Martha Baker, born March 13, 1820, daughter of William and Mary (Walters) Baker, natives of Bedford county, Pennsylvania. The former, born in 1790, died February 2, 1869; the latter, born in 1794, died January 13, 1888. They are the parents of twelve children: Julana; Mary; Maria; Sarah J.; Wheeler W.; John; Keller; Lewis; Samuel B.; Israel; Martha and Ellen. Mr. Beach is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and in politics a Prohibitionist.
