GEORGE BEALL, 91,
STRUCK BY AUTO,
DIES AT HOSPITAL
----------
Hurt July 4; Father
Of Local People Is
Killed at Lebanon
----------
Shelby county recorded its fourth traffic death of 1949 and the city marked its third today as an elderly local man -- George Beall, 91, 333 W. South St. -- died at Major Hospital after being hurt seriously when struck by a car here on Fourth of July night.
At the same time, Ralph Wilcox, of Lebanon, father of a large family including three Shelbyville residents, was one of two persons killed this morning in a car-truck collicion on a three-lane highway near Lebanon.
MR. BEALL died at the hospital at 1:05 a.m. He had been injured while crossing S. Harrison St., Hendricks St. about 8:30 p.m. July 4th, when he was struck by an auto driven by George Arthur, Shelbyville, R.R. 6. Mr. Beall had been taken to the hospital in the Sleeth ambulance, suffering from a broken left leg and a mangled hand.
Arthur told city police at the time that he did not see Mr. Beall as he stepped into the street because of blinding lights of an approaching car. A witness to the accident reported that Mr. Beall stepped in front of the car. The driver was not hurt.
BORN IN Gallatin county, Ky., March 7, 1858, Mr. Beall was a son of Henry Clay and Frances (Redman) Beall. He was never married and was a retired farmer, having lived here the past 25 years. Only local relative is a hephew, Charles Beall, of southwest of Shelbyville.
Funeral services will be held Monday at 11:00 a.m. at the Ewing funeral home, with Rev. Richard F. Rasche officiating. Friends may call at the funeral home after 7:00 p.m. Sunday. Following the last rites the body will be taken to Warsaw, Ky., for burial.

DIED

BEALE. --- In Shelbyville, Ind., Feb. 24th, 1876, Eliza L. Beale, wife of H. L. Beale in the 64th, of her age.
Mrs. B. was born in Vermont, Oct. 3rd, 1812. When quite young she settled in Oxford, Ohio. She was married to H. L. Beale in 1839. In 1833 she attached herself to the Presbyterian church in Oxford O. The verdict of all who knew her is that [sic] she lived a consistentchristian life. By her kindly words and acts and carefully guarding against wounding the feelings of others, she shed almost a halo around her. A friend to the poor, a kind and sympathetic attendant upon the sick, the cheer of the home circle, she will be sadly missed. Like her master, she "went about doing good," until sickness prevented. For the last five years she has been an invalid, most of this time she was a great sufferer. Her sufferings were borne with unsurpassed patience. She conversed frequently and freely of the change that awaited
her, always saying the "Lord's will be done." All that a loving and affectionate family and skilled physician could do, was done, but it was of no avail, and on the morning of the 24th, the messenger of death came and her spirit, disengaged from the crumbling ruins of mortality, on wings of hope fled to that love-lit clime all radiant with gold and glowing with saphire. She has
fallen "asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, from which none ever wake to weep." May the spirit of peace cheer and comfort the berieved [sic] family, and when the last sad scene of life is passed, may they, a happy household, enter into joys too pure to die.
