Thomas Beale
Republican Compiler, Gettysburg, PA
September 19 1821
Died on Tuesday the 5th inst., at his residence in this place, Col. Thomas
Beale, in the 34th year of his age, High Sheriff of Mifflin county. About
5 weeks ago, while sitting on his own porch, he was attacked by a kind of
spasm, which succeeded by several others, resembling of convulsions, which
derived him of speech - in a few days he became so much better as to be able
to walk about town, but was never able to speak, after the first attack,
so as to be understood, except some words, by his own family. Although deprived
of the power of speech, or the use of the pen, to express his ideas, he appeared
perfectly sensible until a few days before his departure - he knew his
acquaintances, appeared glad to see them and would reach them his hand. He
was of an unusual, generous, kind disposition and those who were in distress
were never turned from his door with a sore heart. The deceased was one of
the Mifflin county volunteers, who marched to the lines during the late war,
and was shortly after his return home from the campaign elected Colonel of
the 73d regiment, militia. - Mifflin Eagle.
