PETER BEAUSEIGNEUR, farmer and lumberman of Girard township, Clearfield county, Pa., was born in France and was brought to America by his parents in 1854, and they settled on the homestead now owned by his brother James Beauseigneur. In 1875 he purchased a farm of 160 acres, situated two miles west of the old homestead, where he has been living ever since. On October 26, 1875, Peter Beausiegneur was married to Miss Elizabeth McGovern, of Girard township, where she was born and reared. Eleven children have been born to them, namely: Q. E., Blanche, Virginia, Fannie, Vernon A., J. B., Cavanaugh, Susie, Monica, Rae and Jane. The beloved mother of these children died in 1908. She was a good, Christian woman, a faithful member of St. Mary's Catholic church at Frenchville, to which her husband and children also belong. Farming and stockraising are carried on by Mr. Beauseigneur and his sons and they are numbered with the substantial men of the township. They take no very active part in politics but are always ready to perform the duties required of them as good citizens. Mr. Beausiegneur is well known all through this section and his advice and co-operation are often sought by his fellow citizens.
