Their Story

     Levi Beeson was born in Ohio 1837-38, unable to determine names of parents.  Sarah J. (???) Beeson  was also born in Ohio, in 1845.  In census of 1880 she listed both of her parents as being born in New York.  In the census of 1860 Levi was living in Cambria Co.  Hillsdale, Michigan with Franklin and Emily (Cheny) Cook and their children.  Unable to find if Levi related or friend, the Cooks also lived in Ohio in the 1850’s.

       On June 21,1861 Levi Beeson enlisted in Company H, Ohio 13^th Infantry Regiment.  Promoted to Full Sergeant on Jan. 1^st , 1864, promoted to Full 1^st Sergeant on Dec. 6^th, 1864, and mustered out on Dec.,5^th 1865.

       Levi Beeson and Sarah were married in 1864, unable to document State married in. They were in the Daviess Co. Missouri census of 1870, with a hired hand living with them.   I did find a Mira H. Beeson buried in Marlboro Cemetery Stark Co. Ohio, no dates on the stone. It is same row and plot where Sarah and Levi are also buried.
