The LaFayette Sun", June 10, 1903:
T. S. Beall
The subject of this sketch was born in Walton Co., Ga., in 1833 and died in LaFayette, Ala., May 29th, 1903. He was married to Miss Carrie M. Boyd in 1862. There were ten children born unto them, two of whom died in childhood; four of them, Lucius, Misses Celeste and Kate, and Mrs. Lillie Scott died in the last few years. Mrs. Beall also died about five years ago. The four children who still live are J. Walter, and Frank M. Beall, Mrs. Lula Fears, and Mrs. Exa Kelley, of Garrison, Texas.
T. S. Beall was a well educated man, had been admitted to the bar, and had taught school in Chambers and Lee counties at different intervals for about twenty five years. At the time of his death he held a teacher's Life Certificate.
During the War he raised a company known as Beall's Battalion. He was made Major, which position he filled with credit and honor to himself and country. When the war closed he returned to find all in confusion and chaos, with property gone and no labor except a lot of demoralized ex-slaves, but he took hold under these sad conditions, raised a large family, gave them a fair education, and I can truthfully say they are a credit to their parents.
Maj. Beall was a genial, affable, and pleasant man, in conversation; jovial, good natured, and full of life. If he had an enemy, I never heard it.
Maj. Beall at one time connected himself with the Baptist Church at Liberty in Lee County, near where he taught school.
He was an honest man, and while he had his faults and failings, let us case gently the mantle of charity over them, and remember only his many virtues. Being reared by indulgent parents in what was then considered the lap of luxury, is it any wonder that it was hard for him to meet the miserable conditions that were presented to the young man after the war?
Now, out of a large family of brothers and sisters, there are only two left, Dr. A. J. Beall, of San Marcos and Mrs. America Waskom, of Henderson, Texas.
The funeral service was appropriately and impressively conducted by Rev. W. T. Hollingsworth at the home of Mrs. J. H. Blanton, his niece, after which a number of his friends and neighbors carried him to the old family burying ground and laid him to rest beside his wife to await the resurrection. Peace to his ashes.
