Harold R. Beal Published April 21, 2005

   Harold R. Beal, 95, a lifelong resident of West Columbia, went home to be with his Heavenly Father and other loved ones on Monday morning, April 18. He died peacefully in his sleep at his residence.
   Born in East Columbia on December 28, 1909, he was the fourth of nine children born to Albert Ransom and Ruth Hagemeier Beal. He was a lifelong member of Bethel Presbyterian Church in East Columbia, where he served as a deacon, elder and trustee.
   Owner of Farmer's Market on the main street through town (present location of Jenn's Furniture Center) until his retirement in 1978, Harold is best known for his daily visits with customers helping them to "fill their baskets." Many customers got to the checkout counter with "surprises" that were not on their list.
    Active in his community, Harold was a 60-year member of both the West Columbia Rotary Club and St. John's Masonic Lodge. He also was a member of the West Columbia Chamber of Commerce, the Columbia Cemetery Association and the Columbia Museum. Harold also served on the city council in the early 1960s.
   He was preceded in death in 1993 by his loving wife of 63 years, Nell Raney Beal.
