Buggies & Wagons: Follow-Up
As a follow-up to my previous post regarding Beals & Hinshaw: Buggies & Wagons, I contacted the Hinshaw Family Association and received this response:
Travis:
That Hinshaw who was apparently a partner with Nathan Thomas Beals was Amos S. Hinshaw (1839-1930), son of Stephen Hinshaw (and, although we don't know with certainty what his full middle name was, one could guess that it was probably Stephen):
Incidentally, I did perform a relationship search through my Rootsmagic database, and found that Nathan Thomas BEALS and Amos S. HINSHAW were indeed first cousins, once removed - through Charles and Hannah (PIGGOTT) DAVIS.Amos S. Hinshaw indeed did live in Westfield, and was a member of Westfield Monthly Meeting. And he was shown in the 1900 census with occupation "carriage builder", and in 1910 as "mechanic, carriage shop".
As to his relationship to Nathan Thomas Beals: inconsequential. Westfield was a small town in 1893, and there was a tight and close Quaker community - Amos and Nathan might have come together in partnership for reasons other than any genealogical relationship. However, probably coincidentally, Amos was 3rd cousin once removed to Solomon Hinshaw, who married Nathan's sister Elizabeth.
Regards,Jan HinshawThe Hinshaw Family Association
P.S.: I hope you don't mind, but I liked the "Beals & Hinshaw" scan you referenced, so I copied the image and added it to Amos Hinshaw's page (credited to you of course).

Beals & Hinshaw: Buggies and Wagons: Westfield, Indiana
Source: Postoffice Directory of Hamilton County, Indiana; 1893-94; Ledger Book and Job Print, Noblesville, Indiana, page 49.
I found this advertisement listing the business venture of my maternal 3rd-great grandfather, Nathan Thomas BEALS (1856-1915). It was nice to find a record of him during the 1890's in Hamilton County, Indiana.
Previously, in 1885 census he was living in Humboldt, Richardson County, Nebraska where his occupation was listed as school teacher. The 1900 census in Jackson Township, Hamilton County, Indiana lists him as a dealer in hardware.
Earlier I had posted about his obituary and his death in Arkansas. There are many mysteries about this man yet to be discovered.
I have not yet identified the relationship with A.S. HINSHAW. However, there was a Beals-Hinshaw connection, as Nathan's sister, Elizabeth, married Solomon Hinshaw in Hamilton County, Indiana. It was their sons, Ed and Luther, that Nathan was involved with in the sawmill business in Arkansas.
He was referred to often in the records as simply "N.T. Beals".
Nathan Thomas BEALS was born February 17, 1856 in Westfield, Hamilton County, Indiana, the son of John T. and Mary (DAVIS) BEALS. He married September 26, 1876 in Hamilton County, Indiana to Elizabeth Caroline POE, daughter of Isaac S. and Hannah (MILLS) POE. Nathan died February 16, 1915 in Leola, Grant County, Arkansas and is buried in the Cicero Cemetery, Hamilton County, Indiana.

Banking Scandal of Hamilton County, Indiana circa 1915-16
While I don't yet have all of the details, thanks to some newspaper articles and Google books, I've managed to piece together some information regarding Ed and Luther HINSHAW, nephews of my 3GGF, Nathan Thomas BEALS. Nathan died in Arkansas before the scandal broke, and I have no evidence that any of his dealings with the HINSHAWS were questionable, but I found it a fascinating story that close family members were involved in a scandal. Another nephew, Elmer L. STURDEVANT was also involved.
Apparently, the following banks were involved in the crash: Hamilton Trust Company of Noblesville, Indiana; Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Cicero, Indiana; People's State Bank of Arcadia, Indiana; and the Fidelity Trust Company of Indianapolis, Indiana. I've yet to research using the contemporary newspapers from Hamilton County area, but the following articles found on Ancestry.com will highlight some of the details:

DENIES HINSHAW CHANGE OF VENUE
Noblesville Judge Overrules Motion Alleging People Have Conspired to Mob or Lynch Defendant in Bank Case
BITTER CHARGES FLY THICK
State Accused of "Packing" Court to Influence Jury in Bowen Trial - Prosecutor Suggests Perjury Indictment
[Special to the Indianapolis Star]
NOBLESVILLE, Ind., March 4. - Late this afternoon Judge Cloe overruled the motion for a change of venue from the county in the case of E.M. Hinshaw, charged with conspiracy in connection with the failure of the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank of Cicero. The case is set for hearing March 14.
When the motion for change was presented it was accompanied by the affidavits of forty-two citizens, who said under oath that the defendant could not obtain a fair and impartial trial in this county. Ninety-five counter affidavits were presented by the state.
Arguments on the motion brought out some sharp exchanges of opinion between J.F. Neal, one of the special prosecutors, and E.V. Fitzpatrick of Indianapolis, representing the defendant.
"Is there an affidavit on file to that effect?" quickly inquired Neal, implying that some one might be charged with a false accusation.
Fitzpatrick also asserted that Neal had indicated to him that a special session of the grand jury might be called to indict Hinshaw for alleged perjury growing out of the statement in the defendant's motion that there were persons in Hamilton County who would perjure themselves in order to get on a jury so they could convict Hinshaw.
In passing on the motion Judge Cloe paid a high tribute to the citizenship of Hamilton County and said he could not believe such threats were well founded.
Jointly indicted with E.M. Hinshaw are J.L. Hinshaw, R.H. Metcalf and Lee Tescher. The latter was cashier in the Cicero bank. Metcalf was president and J.L. Hinshaw was a director. Tescher and Metcalf have asked for separate trials and J.L. Hinshaw will probably be tried at another time.

AUDITOR CAUSES BANK TO SUSPEND
Crittenberg's Warning to Replace Notes With Cash Results in Closing of Arcadia State Bank.
FOURTH FAILURE IN COUNTY
Indorsers of Paper in Question Are Men Connected With Other Hamilton County Institutions - Officers Expect to Avoid Loss.
[Special to the Indianapolis Star.]
NOBLESVILLE, Ind., March 27. - The People's State Bank of Arcadia did not open its doors today, being locked up by Cashier J.S. Hinesley when Auditor of State Crittenberger demanded that he take out of the institution three notes of $5,000 each and replace them with cash.
Hinesley was notified yesterday by the auditor that he must take up this paper before the bank opened this morning, and realizing that he could not do so in such short time, he refused to open the bank today. The bank is not yet in the hands of the auditor, but he probably will take charge of it on Monday.
Jessup and Hussey have made assignments of them properly to Samuel M. Smith of Indianapolis. Hershey and Hinshaw filed bankruptcy proceedings in the Federal Court at Indianapolis last Thursday.
George Bowen served as president of the Hamilton Trust Company from its organization ten years ago until last December, when Sturdevant was chosen to succeed him. A.H. Bowen, another endorser on the three notes, is a brother of George Bowen, and has been secretary and treasurer of the Hamilton Trust Company for several years.
Hinesley asserts with the exception of these three note the bank is in good condition and he expects this paper to be eventually paid in full.
Hinesley went into court this afternoon and obtained judgment on default against three of the indorsers on the three notes, George and A.H. Bowen and Elmer L. Sturdevant. Attorney for each of the other indorsers asked that action as to their clients be delayed a few days. Hinesley said the three notes came to his bank in 1912 through J.L. Hinshaw, then president of the Farmers and Merchants' Bank at Cicero, now in the hands of a receiver. At that time the sureties were rated high in financial circles.
In the same complaint Mr. Dulin asks for the foreclosure of another mortgage, which Hinshaw executed last July to secure a note of $900.
The Wainwright Trust Company, as administrator, with will annexed of the estate of the late John H. Harvey, a former county commissioner, and the First National Bank of this city have filed a replevin suit against John L. Dulin, receiver for the Hamilton Trust Company, to obtain the property of the Hamilton Abstract Company. Damages in the sum of $10,000 are demanded. The abstract company and the Hamilton Trust Company were conducted jointly and owned by the same persons. It is alleged the stockholders turned over their holdings in the company to the First National Bank and the Wainwright Trust Company and these two plaintiffs are demanding possession of the property, which is under the control of Mr. Dulin.

COURT REFUSES TO QUASH BANK CASE INDICTMENTS
Noblesville, Ind. Nov. 12. - In the Circuit Court today Judge Cloe overruled motions to quash thirteen grand jury indictments alleging felonies growing out of the failure of the Farmers and Merchants Bank at Cicero and the Hamilton Trust Company of this city. The defendants are A.H. and George Bowen and Elmer Sturdevant of the trust company, and Lee Tescher, Ed and Luther Hinshaw and R.H. Metcalf, who were connected with the Cicero bank. On a motion filed by the Special Prosecutor, J.F. Neal, the court quashed seven indictments against the same defendants and at the same time new affidavits were filed to take the place of the indictments. The dismissal of these indictments and the filing of new ones was the result of a desire on the part of the state to correct some clerical and technical errors. No material changes were made in any of the charges, which include embezzlement, larceny, grand larceny and conspiracy. Bench warrants were issued for the rearrest of the defendants, who will appear in court tomorrow and provide new bonds.

JURORS DISAGREED IN METCALF CASE
Young Man Believes Now He Will Never Be Convicted
Noblesville, Ind. July 24. - After being out 30 hours the jury in the case against R.H. Metcalf, charged with having accepted a check for $6,700 while president of the Farmers' and Merchants' bank at Cicero, and when, it is alleged, he knew the institution was insolvent, reported to Judge Cloe yesterday afternoon that it could not agree and was discharged. Nearly 50 ballots were taken. The last one stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal. Most of the ballots were two for acquittal and ten for conviction.
Metcalf and his friends consider the disagreement a victory. It is generally believed that Metcalf, who has been in jail here for nearly ten months, will be able to give bond and return to his home at Paint Lick, Ky. There are several other charges against him, but the opinion prevails that he may never be tried again.
The disagreement in the Metcalf case was the first in the four trials here resulting from the three bank failures in Hamilton county about a year ago. George Bowen, who was president of the Hamilton Trust company of this city until a short time before it was closed by the auditor of the state, was the first convicted and sentenced to prison, charged with embezzlement. Edwin M. Hinshaw and John Luther Hinshaw, brothers, who controlled the Cicero bank until the reorganization by which Metcalf became its president, also were sentenced to prison. The convicted men are at liberty under bond, pending appeals to the supreme court.
Metcalf, who is less than 30 years old, had been the object of much sympathy. In his defense he attempted to show that he was led to enter the Cicero through misrepresentations of E.M. Hinshaw and that state examiners gave him reason to believe the bank was sound.

ANOTHER BANK ECHO
Frankfort Court Given Judgment Against Arcadia Concern
Guy Booth, receiver for the defunct People's State Bank of Arcadia, has been given judgment in the Clinton county circuit court against the defendants in his suit, the amount fixed by the court being $4,480. The judgment is against John Luther Hinshaw and the American Surety Company.
This is another echo of a financial disaster that befell Hamilton county some time ago.
Hinshaw had given bond in the sum of $2,000 during the fiscal year of 1911 and 1912 for the faithful and honest discharge of his duties as the president of the bank. It is alleged in the complaint that Hinshaw and his brother Ed took from the bank $2,100 and executed their note for that amount at a time when each was alleged to be insolvent. It was further alleged that in 1912 and 1913, by means of two checks, one for $1,500 and one for $2,500, executed by J.L. Hinshaw and Ed Hinshaw respectively and that they took from the bank $4,000 without having funds on desposit and later executed notes for that amount when, it was charged, each knew they were insolvent.
The Frankfort court found there had been a breach of the bond in the execution of the $2,700 note and also a breach of the bond in drawing two checks. There was a judgment entered against the defendents to the amount of $4,000 and interest from the date of demand which amounted to $180. The surety company immediately gave notice of an appeal of the case to the Supreme Court.

Arguments on the motion brought out some sharp exchanges of opinion between J.F. Neal, one of the special prosecutors, and E.V. Fitzpatrick of Indianapolis, representing the defendant.
Charges Sharp PracticeFitzpatrick insisted that the state had called spectators to the court room by telephone to influence the jury in the trial of George Bowen, who was convicted recently of embezzlement in connection with the failure of the Hamilton Trust Company, of which he had been president.
"Is there an affidavit on file to that effect?" quickly inquired Neal, implying that some one might be charged with a false accusation.
Fitzpatrick also asserted that Neal had indicated to him that a special session of the grand jury might be called to indict Hinshaw for alleged perjury growing out of the statement in the defendant's motion that there were persons in Hamilton County who would perjure themselves in order to get on a jury so they could convict Hinshaw.
Suggests IndictmentIn arguing the motion Neal indicated with a great deal of emphasis that Hinshaw should be indicted for this assertion in his motion and also because he alleged the people of Hamilton County had combined and confederated to mob or lynch him.
In passing on the motion Judge Cloe paid a high tribute to the citizenship of Hamilton County and said he could not believe such threats were well founded.

Crittenberg's Warning to Replace Notes With Cash Results in Closing of Arcadia State Bank.
FOURTH FAILURE IN COUNTY
Indorsers of Paper in Question Are Men Connected With Other Hamilton County Institutions - Officers Expect to Avoid Loss.
[Special to the Indianapolis Star.]
NOBLESVILLE, Ind., March 27. - The People's State Bank of Arcadia did not open its doors today, being locked up by Cashier J.S. Hinesley when Auditor of State Crittenberger demanded that he take out of the institution three notes of $5,000 each and replace them with cash.
Hinesley was notified yesterday by the auditor that he must take up this paper before the bank opened this morning, and realizing that he could not do so in such short time, he refused to open the bank today. The bank is not yet in the hands of the auditor, but he probably will take charge of it on Monday.
Result of Other FailuresThe three notes in question bear the signatures of John W. Jessup, Thomas Hussey, Kenton C. Hershey, Francis T. Hinshaw, A.H. Bowen, Elmer Sturdevant, George Bowen and the estate of John H. Harvey, by George Bowen through power of attorney. All these persons were directly connected with the Hamilton Trust Company of this city, which was closed by the auditor of state in January and is now in the hands of a receiver.
Jessup and Hussey have made assignments of them properly to Samuel M. Smith of Indianapolis. Hershey and Hinshaw filed bankruptcy proceedings in the Federal Court at Indianapolis last Thursday.
George Bowen served as president of the Hamilton Trust Company from its organization ten years ago until last December, when Sturdevant was chosen to succeed him. A.H. Bowen, another endorser on the three notes, is a brother of George Bowen, and has been secretary and treasurer of the Hamilton Trust Company for several years.
Hinesley asserts with the exception of these three note the bank is in good condition and he expects this paper to be eventually paid in full.
Depends on Court ActionHe admits that whether the notes are good depends entirely on two suits pending in court in this city, in which Thomas Hussey and John W. Jessup are suing the officers and other directors of the Hamilton Trust Company to be released from notes aggregating $117,000, now in the possession on John Dulin, receiver for the Hamilton Trust Company. It is alleged by Jessup and Hussey that their signatures to the $117,000 in notes were procured by George Bowen and Elmer L. Sturdevant through fraud. In the event the court holds these notes are not legal the action will be equivalent to saying that Hussey and Jessup are not bankrupt, and it is possible Hinesley will be able to collect his three notes of $5,000 each even though the other sureties are not financially responsible.
Hinesley went into court this afternoon and obtained judgment on default against three of the indorsers on the three notes, George and A.H. Bowen and Elmer L. Sturdevant. Attorney for each of the other indorsers asked that action as to their clients be delayed a few days. Hinesley said the three notes came to his bank in 1912 through J.L. Hinshaw, then president of the Farmers and Merchants' Bank at Cicero, now in the hands of a receiver. At that time the sureties were rated high in financial circles.
Receiver Files SuitsJohn Dulin, receiver for the Hamilton Trust Company, has made E.M. Hinshaw, the East Tenth Street Bank of Indianapolis and the Farmers and Traders' Bank of Lafayette, defendants in a suit to foreclose a mortgage on property in Cicero, belonging to Hinshaw, which was given to secure a note for $5,400, executed Jan. 7, 1913. It is said in the complaint that the Indianapolis bank is made a defendant because it has a judgment for $414 against Hinshaw. The Lafayette bank is brought into the case that it may present whatever interest it may have in the real estate.
In the same complaint Mr. Dulin asks for the foreclosure of another mortgage, which Hinshaw executed last July to secure a note of $900.
The Wainwright Trust Company, as administrator, with will annexed of the estate of the late John H. Harvey, a former county commissioner, and the First National Bank of this city have filed a replevin suit against John L. Dulin, receiver for the Hamilton Trust Company, to obtain the property of the Hamilton Abstract Company. Damages in the sum of $10,000 are demanded. The abstract company and the Hamilton Trust Company were conducted jointly and owned by the same persons. It is alleged the stockholders turned over their holdings in the company to the First National Bank and the Wainwright Trust Company and these two plaintiffs are demanding possession of the property, which is under the control of Mr. Dulin.

The Hinshaw Brothers: Edwin Michael and John Luther
The HINSHAW brothers, Edwin Michael and John Luther, were the nephews of my 3rd-great grandfather, Nathan Thomas BEALS. They were the sons of Solomon and Elizabeth J. (BEALS) HINSHAW. In attempting to obtain the backstory regarding Nathan's death, I found that I needed to find out more about these nephews, as the obituary stated that my 3GGF had gone to Arkansas to be involved with the lumber and sawmill business with Ed and Luther Hinshaw.
Since Nathan died in 1915, I decided to see what I could discover about Ed and Luther in the 1910 and the 1920 census records.
Edwin was living in Indianapolis in the 1910 census, living on College Avenue, listed with wife Frances and son Clark. Ed's occupation is listed as banker. This fits with the Beals Chronology's account of him being the Indiana State Bank Examiner.
By the time of the 1920 census, the brothers had left the Indiana area. The exact nature has not yet been discovered, but what I have discovered involves a major banking scandal in the Hamilton county area during the 1915-1916 time frame.
Though this is just one slice of the lives of these men, I found it most interesting to find out where they were residing in the period prior to and after the death of their uncle, Nathan Thomas BEALS. Hopefully, I will be able to find out more about their business relationship and what brought Nathan to Arkansas.

By the time of the 1920 census, the brothers had left the Indiana area. The exact nature has not yet been discovered, but what I have discovered involves a major banking scandal in the Hamilton county area during the 1915-1916 time frame.
In the 1920, Ed was a lodger in Wichita County, Texas, working as a manager at an oil company. His son Clark was a driver for the oil company.
By 1920, Luther was living in Stoddard County, Missouri, his occupation was listed as a farmer.

Response from Grant County (AR) Museum
I received the following response from the Grant County Museum regarding my query about Nathan Thomas BEALS and the HINSHAW brothers:
Mr. LeMaster,
I've not located anything thus far regarding N.T. Beals or the Hinshaws. Grant Lumber and Timber was operating in Leola in 1900. They operated a sawmille, a planner and a wagon hub factory during that time frame. I will continue to research this for you and will send anything I find.I've forwarded copies of Nathan's obituaries as well to the museum. Hopefully, they may have something in their files that might shed some light on my ancestor's stay in Arkansas.

Down The Rabbit Hole: Discovering the Backstory of N.T. Beals death
My recent success in locating the death date and the obituary of my 3GGF, Nathan Thomas Beals has left me with more questions and sent me chasing some interesting rabbit trails in my family history search.
Starting with the obituary itself, I'm left with some avenues of research to explore. For example, why exactly was Nathan T. Beals in Arkansas, where exactly was he at, and for how long?
The why appears to be answered by the obituary: that he was engaged in the sawmill and lumber business with Ed and Luther Hinshaw. Who are Ed and Luther Hinshaw? They were Nathan T.'s nephews, and will be discussed at length later.
Where exactly was Nathan T. Beals at? The obituary states that the telegram came from Leola, Arkansas. When John T. Beals, Nathan T.'s father died two years later in 1917, Nathan T. was referred to as being 'late of Leola, Ark.' Leola is in Grant County, Arkansas.
How long was he there? The obituary states he went to Arkansas ten years before his death, the funeral notices states it was five years. Since Nathan T. Beals died February 16, 1915, and I've located him in the 1910 census living in Jackson Township, Hamilton County, Indiana, the funeral notice seems more accurate. Sometime between 1910 and 1915 he must have gone to Arkansas.
The obituary stated that "for many years he was a resident of Cicero. At one time, he was interested in a hardware store there, but later spent most of his time traveling for a wholesale hardware firm." Cicero is located in Jackson Township of Hamilton County, Indiana, where we find Nathan living most of his adult life. In the 1900 census, his occupation was listed as "dealer in hardware", and in the 1910 census, his occupation was listed as "superintendent of lumber yard."
I need to research city directories at the Hamilton East Public Library in Noblesville to see if I can locate more information and maybe even find out the name of the hardware store and lumber yard that he worked for. I've contacted the Grant County, Arkansas Museum looking for any information they might have about him or the Hinshaws in Arkansas.
I searched the Arkansas Death Index, 1914-1950 at Ancestry.com for a record of Nathan Thomas Beals without any success. According to the database, compliance with statewide record keeping was not complete for about three decades.
Who were Ed and Luther Hinshaw? They were Nathan T. Beals' nephews, the sons of his older sister Elizabeth and her husband, Solomon Hinshaw, of Westfield, Indiana.
According to the Chronology of the Beals Family, written in 1912 by Nathan's father, John T. Beals, two sons were born to Solomon and Elizabeth (Beals) Hinshaw: Edwin M. Hinshaw and John Luther Hinshaw. The book states that Edwin M. "is in the banking business. He served as State Bank Examiner for six years or more. He is interested in several other enterprises in this and other states."
Digging around on the internet, I was able to find quite a bit of information on the Hinshaw brothers, as well as another nephew, Elmer Sturdevant, also mentioned in the obituary. Apparently, these men were all prominent businessmen of Hamilton County, Indiana at one time, and their paths seem to have crossed a number of ways. In future days, I hope to be able to piece together all of the puzzle.
In working on this puzzle, I've learned that there is so much more about Nathan Thomas Beals and the other members of his extended family that I need to discover. For instance, after their marriage, Nathan and his wife, Elizabeth moved to Humboldt, Richardson County, Nebraska where two of their daughters were born. Why were they living there, and why were they back by 1900?
The decades after Nathan's death will provide more fodder for research, as his widow was back in Indiana, yet she wasn't living with family members in the 1920 census, as I would have suspected.
The public downfall of his nephews in a bank scandal shortly after his death is a story for another day.
Starting with the obituary itself, I'm left with some avenues of research to explore. For example, why exactly was Nathan T. Beals in Arkansas, where exactly was he at, and for how long?
The why appears to be answered by the obituary: that he was engaged in the sawmill and lumber business with Ed and Luther Hinshaw. Who are Ed and Luther Hinshaw? They were Nathan T.'s nephews, and will be discussed at length later.
Where exactly was Nathan T. Beals at? The obituary states that the telegram came from Leola, Arkansas. When John T. Beals, Nathan T.'s father died two years later in 1917, Nathan T. was referred to as being 'late of Leola, Ark.' Leola is in Grant County, Arkansas.
How long was he there? The obituary states he went to Arkansas ten years before his death, the funeral notices states it was five years. Since Nathan T. Beals died February 16, 1915, and I've located him in the 1910 census living in Jackson Township, Hamilton County, Indiana, the funeral notice seems more accurate. Sometime between 1910 and 1915 he must have gone to Arkansas.
The obituary stated that "for many years he was a resident of Cicero. At one time, he was interested in a hardware store there, but later spent most of his time traveling for a wholesale hardware firm." Cicero is located in Jackson Township of Hamilton County, Indiana, where we find Nathan living most of his adult life. In the 1900 census, his occupation was listed as "dealer in hardware", and in the 1910 census, his occupation was listed as "superintendent of lumber yard."
I need to research city directories at the Hamilton East Public Library in Noblesville to see if I can locate more information and maybe even find out the name of the hardware store and lumber yard that he worked for. I've contacted the Grant County, Arkansas Museum looking for any information they might have about him or the Hinshaws in Arkansas.
I searched the Arkansas Death Index, 1914-1950 at Ancestry.com for a record of Nathan Thomas Beals without any success. According to the database, compliance with statewide record keeping was not complete for about three decades.
Who were Ed and Luther Hinshaw? They were Nathan T. Beals' nephews, the sons of his older sister Elizabeth and her husband, Solomon Hinshaw, of Westfield, Indiana.
According to the Chronology of the Beals Family, written in 1912 by Nathan's father, John T. Beals, two sons were born to Solomon and Elizabeth (Beals) Hinshaw: Edwin M. Hinshaw and John Luther Hinshaw. The book states that Edwin M. "is in the banking business. He served as State Bank Examiner for six years or more. He is interested in several other enterprises in this and other states."
Digging around on the internet, I was able to find quite a bit of information on the Hinshaw brothers, as well as another nephew, Elmer Sturdevant, also mentioned in the obituary. Apparently, these men were all prominent businessmen of Hamilton County, Indiana at one time, and their paths seem to have crossed a number of ways. In future days, I hope to be able to piece together all of the puzzle.
In working on this puzzle, I've learned that there is so much more about Nathan Thomas Beals and the other members of his extended family that I need to discover. For instance, after their marriage, Nathan and his wife, Elizabeth moved to Humboldt, Richardson County, Nebraska where two of their daughters were born. Why were they living there, and why were they back by 1900?
The decades after Nathan's death will provide more fodder for research, as his widow was back in Indiana, yet she wasn't living with family members in the 1920 census, as I would have suspected.

Nathan Thomas Beals Obituary & Funeral Notice (1915)
Paydirt was struck with the February 15, 1915 edition of the Noblesville, Ledger. There on page 1 was the obituary of my 3GGF, Nathan Thomas BEALS, or N.T. as he was apparently known.
N.T. BEALS DIED IN ARKANSAS
Remains Brought To This County And Will Be Buried At Cicero
FORMERLY LIVED AROUND HERE
Fifty-Nine Years of Age and Spent Practically All of His Life in This Locality - Father at Sheridan.
Charles Lambertson, of Cicero, received a telegram, Saturday night, from Leola, Ark., announcing the death of his father-in-law, Nathan T. Beals. The remains passed through Noblesville, Monday, enroute to Cicero, where the funeral will occur on Tuesday.
His death was a surprise to relatives in this county, although it was known that he had not enjoyed good health for several months.
He was fifty-nine years of age and is survived by a widow and two children - Mrs. Charles Lambertson, of Cicero, and Mrs. Nellie Beals Stober, of Huntington. He was a son of John Beals, now nearly ninety years of age and who is living with his daughter, Mrs. Joel Hill, at Sheridan. He was a brother of Mrs. Calvin Sturdevant, an uncle of Dr. J.D., Walter and Elmer Sturdevant, of this city, and a brother of Frank Beals, formerly City Attorney, but now a resident of West Virginia.
He lived in this county all his life until about ten years ago, when he went to Arkansas to engage in the sawmill and lumber business with Ed and Luther Hinshaw. For many years he was a resident of Cicero. At one time, he was interested in a hardware store there, but later spent most of his time traveling for a wholesale hardware firm.
Relatives here had known for a few weeks that he had suffered some from malaria fever and nervous trouble and recently had a slight stroke of paralysis. It is presumed that the latter affliction hastened his death.
Funeral at the M.E. church in Cicero, at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Amos Carson officiating. Interment in the Cicero cemetery.
The February 17, 1915 edition of the Ledger had a notice of his funeral, which shed a little more light on when he was in Arkansas.
SERVICES HELD FOR N.T. BEALS
Conducted by Rev. Amos Carson, Assisted by Rev. W.H. Jenkin - Aged Father Present
The funeral services for Nathan T. Beals were held at Cicero, Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, at the M.E. church. Rev. Amos Carson, assisted by Rev. W.H. Jenkin, the pastor of the church, conducted the services. Mr. Beals was a member of the Friends church, of which Rev. Mr. Carson is a minister.
The church was well filled with relatives and friends, and the Masonic and Knights of Pythias orders were well represented at the church and in the procession to the cemetery, where the ceremonies were conducted.
The music was by a quartet composed of Miss Nellie Mendenhall, Mrs. Monte Meek, M.M. Hartley and Clyde Nichols.
The father, Capt. John Beals, although very feeble, was able to be present, and J.F. Beals, a brother, came from his home in West Virginia. The words of Rev. Mr. Carson were based on the saying of Jesus to His disciples, that it was necessary that He should go away, but that he would send a Comforter. The speaker had known the family and his words of sympathy were fitting and appropriate. He drew lessons from the text for the benefit of all.
The obituary as read showed that Mr. Beals had been in business at Westfield and Cicero, before going to Arkansas, about five years ago, and that his birth place was at Grassy Branch, on the Beals farm, near Westfield. Rev. Mr. Carson spoke of his good qualities, and the concourse of people at his funeral services showed that he was a man who made friends.
------
I've already contacted the Grant County, Arkansas museum, hoping that they would have information on the business ventures of N.T. Beals and the Hinshaws. Ed and Luther Hinshaw were first cousins of N.T. Beals.
I will need to seek a copy of his death certificate to verify the exact date and cause of death, but preliminary data from this obituary would place his death on Saturday, February 13, 1915 in Leola, Grant County, Arkansas. Burial was three days later on February 16, 1915 in Cicero Cemetery, Cicero, Hamilton County, Indiana.
