I am aware of rules concerning a second memorial, the original creator refused to respond to numerous requests to add the Bio of my gg Grandfather and family links I sent him.
My great great grandfather, David Beeler was the oldest son of Daniel Beeler and Rachel Cawood Rogers. In February of 1863, he and his brother James traveled to Kentucky to enlist in the Union Army 8th Tennessee Volunteer Infantry Company C. James was captured late in 1864 and sent to Andersonville prison, but managed to escape before arriving there according to his war records. David finished out the war with his unit and returned home in July of 1865. After coming home, David married Nancy Jane Stiner, they had 9 children. Their first child was named for David's commanding officer, General Schofield.
David Beeler was a farmer, but injuries during the war prevented him from doing hard labor in later years. David's other occupations included furniture and coffin making, he was very skilled in working with wood. He also served several terms as Justice of the Peace. A few years after the death of his wife, David spent his remaining years living with his youngest son Houk Beeler. TVA forced the family to sell their land so when his time was near, David told the family to bury him in the Taylor Grove Cemetery because it was not known at that time if the graves in the Family Cemetery would have to be moved. Grandpa said "I don't want my bones disturbed after I'm gone". The rising waters of Norris Lake didn't reach the Family Cemetery and that is where wife Nancy Jane, 3 children, and 10 grandchildren remain.
I had originally posted Grandpa's Civil War picture with his fife. I removed the photo due to theft of most of my old photos by Ancestry members with absolutely no mention as to where they obtained them. I will gladly send it to any family member who would like a copy.
Note 10-17-2016 A huge Thank You to Mary Lynn Stiner Gilmore who purchased the foot stone for our Grandpa Beeler's grave. Also thanks to those who set the stone. Grandpa's Civil War headstone is very hard to read now plus there were no dates on it.
