One of the leading farmers and citizens of Carr Township, was born Mar. 7, 1827, 
in Lawrence Co., Ind. His parents were Isaiah and Sally (Mullen) Beezley, who 
came to Ind. From N. Carolina and Kentucky about 1814. George was the eldest of 
a family of 5, and was raised on a farm, which was congenial to his taste, and he 
became a farmer accordingly, and now owns 327 acres of land. He is one of the 
many American Citizens who have succeeded by dint of hard labor and frugality, 
which is the only sure road for the honest farmer. In 1849 he was married to Mary 
A. Plummer, daughter of Thomas J. Plummer, she died leaving two children; Silas 
W. and William N. In 1857 he was again married to Rebecca A. Reed, daughter of 
John Reed, of Lawrence Co. To this union there were born five children: Susan C., 
Thomas B., John I, Clarinda Ida and an infant. Losing his 2nd companion, he again 
married in 1869, a Miss Eliza R. Breckenridge, of Lawrence Co., Ind., who was a 
native of Kentucky, but together with her parents, came to Ind., in an early day. 
Mr. Beezley is a member of the Christian Church, and is a Democrat in politics.
