Amable was the youngest son of 17 children born to Jean-Baptiste Beaudry and Monique Archambault. He was baptized Jean-Marie Amable in Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Rouville County, Quebec, Canada. Antoine Eusebe (Amable's oldest brother) and his wife, Mathilde "Melodie" (Broduer) Beaudry, served as his godparents.
Exactly when Amable immigrated to the United States is unknown, but on April 10, 1856, he married Rosina Gorman, child of Isaac and Angeline (Tatro) Gorman, in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. This union produced three sons - Walter Amable, William Everett and Charles Lincoln. The boys were all born in Winchendon, Massachusetts, which is some 20 miles from Fitchburg.
Amable became a naturalized citizen on June 23, 1860, through the Worcester Superior Court, probably to show his patriotism due to the impending Civil War. On July 16, 1861, about three months after the war's "official" start, Amable mustered into the 15th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry to begin his service. He was injured at Antietam (Maryland), captured along with 27 of his men at Gettysburg (Pennsylvania), wounded in Virginia at the Battle of the Wilderness and ultimately took a minié ball to the left thigh at the Spotsylvania Courthouse Battle. He held the ranks of corporal, sergeant and first lieutenant during his term of duty, which ended July 28, 1864. (More information, photos, documents and links can be found at the link below.)
Amable and his family lived in Massachusetts until 1869. They then moved to DeKalb County, Missouri, and soon he and Rosina produced three more children: Eve Lena, Mary Emma and George Alfred.
A family held a reunion at Amity, Missouri on September 3-5, 1909 at the farm of daughter Eve Lena and her husband, Thomas Herbert Thompson. Attended by all of Amable and Rosina's children, grandchildren and even some great-grandchildren, it was the first time in 20 years the entire clan was together again. (Click on group photo at right to see a newspaper write-up.) Amable and Rosina lived with the Thompsons in 1910 and up to Rosina's death in 1912, when she lost her life to cancer.
Amable died seven years later (1919) in Chicago, Illinois, where he was either visiting or living with sons William and/or Charles. His final resting place is in Amity Cemetery with his beloved wife of 56 years.
