Word was received in Portland Thursday after that Henry Bealer, formerly of Neillsville, Wis., had passed away at the Salem Hospital that morning. Arrangements have been made to have funeral at Ridgon’s undertaking parlor Saturday and the remains will be laid to rest in the Salem Cemetery.
Eva(b. 1863) married Henry Bealar when she was 19. Two years later she had a baby girl, Della. Then, less than two years later she died. I was told that Cordelia and Jacob raised Della after her mother died, however, the 1900 census shows her living with her Aunt Semantha Chase and family. Della grew up and married Willis Armitage. She was the census taker for the 1910 and 1920 census in Clark County, Wisconsin, Weston township. Della and Willis were the parents of Lisle Armitage.
Greenwood Gleaner 3 May 1906: "Willis J. Armitage, wife, and son Lisle, visited at Orlo Robinson’s a few days ago"
acccording to the family tree on ancestry by mayork1 Della was born 1884. If this is so she was a twin to the baby who died. I had her birth from census sources as 1885.
