BYRON FOOTE, deceased. The Foote fam- ily is numerously represented in this section, the name being also spelled Foot, and from pioneer times its members have been noted for intelligence, en- terprise and thrift. The subject of this sketch, late a prominent resident of New Milford town- ship, Susquehanna county, was descended from Nathaniel Foote, who emigrated from England in 1633 and settled in Connecticut. But little is known concerning him, but the records of intervening gen- erations has been preserved.

John Foote, son of George, and the great- grandfather of our subject, was born July 14, 1754, and settled in Arlington, Vt., where he died June 16, 1826, aged seventy-two years. He was mar- ried, in 1775, to Ruth Searle, who was born Octo- ber 9, 1756, and died in Royalton, N. Y., January 29, 1846, in her ninetieth year.

Belus H. Foote, our subject's grandfather, was born in Vermont, July 15, 1788, and came to this section in early manhood, locating in New Milford township, Susquehanna county, where his death occurred September 5, 1841. He was married, Jan- uary 26, 18II, in Susquehanna county, to Betsey Hawley, who died August 3, 1844, at the age of fifty years. They had the following children: Ed-

Norman Foote, our subject's father, was born September 7, 1814, in New Milford township, and at the age of twenty-one went to Lycoming county, Penn., where he purchased a farm. After three years he returned to his native township, and set- tled at the homestead now occupied by our subject. As a good citizen he took an active part in local affairs, serving as school director and in other offices, and he was much esteemed in the community. He died December 31, 1895, his remains being in- terred in New Milford cemetery. His widow, Mrs. Lydia (Lathrop) Foote, now resides with our sub- ject. They were married July 13, 1843, in Lu- zerne county, and had four children, of whom our subject is the youngest. Ada Jeanette, born Au- gust 22, 1844, died September 3, 1850; Leslie, born March 3, 1846, married, March 10, 1869, Miss Mary Harper, and resides in St. Paul, Minn., where he is employed in his uncle's shoe factory ; Elmer, born August 6, 1852, married Miss Julia C. Ray- nor, September 10, 1878, and died October 25, 1879. Mrs. Lydia (Lathrop) Foote, our subject's mother, was a native of Rush township, Susquehanna coun- ty, born September 20, 1822, a daughter of Rev. William Lathrop, Jr., and granddaughter of Will- iam and Sally (Brown) Lathrop, pioneer settlers on the Wyalusing creek in Rush township. Her father was born in that locality, and her mother, Sybil Lathrop, was a native of Connecticut, coming to Susquehanna county at an early day with her parents, Ezekiel and Lydia (Crocker) Lathrop, who settled in Auburn township.

Byron Foote was born February 4, 1856, at the present homestead of the family, and remained with his parents until he reached the age of twenty- three. He then spent six years as a traveling sales- man for W. C. Reynolds, of Montrose, a dealer in musical instruments, but he afterward engaged in farming, at the homestead, with the exception of two years spent as traveling agent for the New Milford Advertiser. He passed away June 12, 1899, after an illness of three weeks, and was buried in New Milford cemetery. Politically he was a Pro- hibitionist, and his devotion to his principles won the respect of. even his opponents. On September 6, 1882, at Le Raysville, Bradford Co., Penn., he married Miss Ida M. Reynolds, who died June 22, 1888, and the only child of the union, Florence, died November 29, 1884, at the age of six months. On June 8, 1892, Mr. Foote was married, at Bing- hamton, N.

JAMES DANIEL BEACH, M. D., who is successfully engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery in Waymart, Wayne county, was born May 7, 1870, near Danville, Moutour Co., Penn., of which county his parents, James L. and Sarah J. (Geist) Beach, were also natives. The mother, who was a consistent and faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, died September 20, 1896, aged sixty-one years; the father, who was born August 13, 1827, is still living in Montour county, where he is engaged in farming. His po- litical support is ever given to the men and meas- ures of the Democratic party. His children were Edward L., a bookkeeper, now deceased; Maggie J., at home ; and James D., of this sketch.

Upon his father's farm Dr. Beach was reared until eighteen years of age, and when not attend- ing the local schools he assisted in the labors of the farm. He spent one year in learning telegraphy, and for a year and a half clerked in the drug store of Dr. D. C. Mebane, at Parsons, Penn. While there he contracted diphtheria, from the effects of which he nearly lost his voice. He remained at home, recuperating, for some time, and then en- tered Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, where he graduated in 1895. He then returned to Par- sons, where he engaged in practice until April 27, 1896, when he came to Waymart. Here he soon won the confidence and respect of the people, who recognized his skill and ability, and he has suc- ceeded in building up a large and profitable practice.

Dr. Beach was married, in Mooresburg, Penn., December 19, 1895, to Miss Jennie M. Bower, Rev. Taylor performing the ceremony. They have one son, Edward P. Mrs. Beach was born in Moores- burg, May 3, 1872, a daughter of Ephraim and Mary A. ( Taylor) Bower, also natives of Moores- burg, the former of German, the latter of English descent. They still reside at that place, where the father is engaged in blacksmithing, and also oper- ates both a cider and chop mill. He was born in 1843, his wife four years later. She is an earnest member of the Presbyterian Church, and he is a stalwart Democrat in politics. Their children are Na- thaniel, a cadet in the United States Military Acad-

W., of Mooresburg ; Ernest and Thomas, also of Mooresburg ; Mrs. William Morrison, of Danville; Bessie B., of Way- mart ; Alice and Mrs. Mamie Blue, of Mooresburg ; and Jennie M., wife of our subject.

The maternal grandparents were William and Maria Taylor; he was a native of England, and in 1849 emigrated to New York. By trade he was a brick and stone mason.

Politically Dr. Beach follows in the footsteps of his father, always supporting the Democratic party by his ballot. Socially he affiliates with the Patriotic Order Sons of America, at Waymart, and in religious connection belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which his wife is also an act- ive and prominent member. In social circles they occupy an enviable position.

Through his enterprise, industry and energy he has gained a comfortable competence, though he started in life for himself in limited cir- cumstances.

Mr. Butler was born in Glamorganshire, Wales, November 16, 1846, a son of William and Ann (Rodrick) Butler, who, as farming people, spent their entire lives in that country. They were mem- bers of the Independent Church, and highly re- spected by all who knew them. The father died in 1853, aged seventy-eight years, the mother in 1868, aged sixty-eight.

He took up his residence at once in Clifford town- ship, Susquehanna Co., Penn., where he worked by the month for others for six years, and then purchased a farm which he operated until locating upon his present place, in 1894. The latter is a valuable tract of 170 acres, and the former, which he still owns, consists of 200 acres of fine farming land. He has always given considerable attention

to stock raising, and in 1886 embarked in the whole- sale butcher business, selling his stock in Scranton. He deals mostly in sheep, lambs and calves, has shipped as many as 100 lambs a week to Scranton, and 1,300 head of all kinds of stock in the same length of time during the busy season. He has made for himself an honorable record in business, and is deserving of prominent mention among the leading representative business men of the county. Politically he is a stanch Republican, and has most efficiently and satisfactorily filled the office of super- visor for five years.

From Herrick township he removed to Ararat, where he died in 1874, at the age of sixty-nine years, his wife in 1868, at the age of forty-six, and their remains were interred in Ararat cemetery.
