"Captain WILLIAM ORLANDO BEALL departed this life on Monday morning, 4th of August, 1862 about five o'clock after thirteen days' illness, with brain fever, undoubtedly his disease originated from undue exposure to the sun by riding in an open car from Atlanta to Kingston. After leaving the rail road, he traveled by private conveyance to the residence of his mother, near Carrollton - a distance of over fifty miles. There, after a few days of suffering, his spirit gently passed away to the bosom of Jesus. His dying testimony was "death has no terrors for me. I would not give my hope in Christ for all the world." Then turning to his sorrowing relatives, he exclaimed, "Be ye also ready - for in an hour that ye think not the Son of Man cometh."
His end in itself was a complete vindication of Christianity. Trusting in the merits of the Savior, he calmly awaited the approach of the grim monster, death, feeling that he would soon be with his Savior.
Captain Beall was born the 20th of April 1822 son of William Otho Beall and Nancy Farmer Chandler Beall. For over twenty years he was a consistent and useful member of the Baptist church. As a husband, he was kind and attentive, ever solicitous for the comforts and happiness of his companion. As a father, none could surpass him in parental fondness. His desire for the spiritual well being of his children, was commensurate with his affection for them. As a master he possessed the love of his servants. As a soldier, he was firm and unflinching in the discharge of his duty, possessing those traits of character which won the affection and confidence of his men."
