Some ten or twelve years ago, while on a visit to his old home in Tennessee, he met with and married a most excellent lady who survives him. He had no children of his own, but a few years ago he adopted a child, who was amply provided for in his will. As a man he stood high in the estimation of his acquaintences.

About three years ago he furnished the land and paid for the building of a church house at Lannius.

A massive and practically indestructible tomb, which is intended to hold the mortal remains of one of Fannin county's prominent citizens at death, and which has been in course of construction several months at this place, is receiving the finishing touches of skillful hands this week. Its cost at completion, it is estimated, will reach .the large sum of $3,000. Its walls and top are built of solid masonry, the marble used being imported from Georgia, and is of the finest quality. It is an artistic piece of work, and reflects credit on both architect and builder. Capt. Beasley is the interesting person for whom, and at whose expense the vault is being built.—
