3.   From an email sent by Stanley Beal 5/29/2009: Your info about Ed Beal is quite interesting in the long ago memory it brought back. My Dad and Mother both had relatives in Waterloo. In 1928, my Grandparents bought a new Whippet car in May and decided to visit in Waterloo in the fall. They needed a driver so my Dad drove for them. I was 8 & my sister was 6 and kids often went along then so the 6 of us piled into the tiny Whippet and went to Waterloo. Our family stayed at Aunt Sadie's and Uncle George's. She was boarding school teachers and one was wearing red shoes. RED SHOES were something unheard of for this country kid and I guess I didn't keep still about my shock at them---kids----THE GOOD OLD DAYS. Anyway, I recall my Dad visiting with an ED BEAL. That was 81 years ago this fall so it is sketchy but I do recall his visiting with an ED BEAL. I hope that helps verify your discovery. No way could I remember where he fit into the family but I met so many family.
   
   I recall going to their CATTLE CONGESS that was on while we were there and Great Uncle George Huntington was taking tickets and working there. I recall going to Dad's Aunt Mary, I think (?) the widow of Marcellus in her huge house. Also to his Aunt Gustav in her poor health with PERNICIOUS ANEMIA (?) and her daughter Edna Byrd. It was all a lot to retain. I was still rather small yet but I knew and remember many of that generation. Many visited at our house. I even knew Great Uncle Charles' first wife, Aunt Orpha plus Aunt Naomi, Aunt Sadie, Uncle George and Uncle Charles plus Uncle Walter and Aunt Mary Schweitzer Beal, well. I remember Uncle Clarence Eastman but Aunt Abby died in 1925 when I was only 5. I recall staying at my Maternal grandparents when my folks went to her Funeral. It would have meant so much to you if you could have known them too but you are doing the research and preserving it all..
   
   A sidelight to it all was a stop at West Bend at The Grotto of The Redemption that was just getting started. then. I recall my Grandmother saying Father Doberstein would never live to see it finished and, of course, he didn't.
