Notes:
WILLIAM M.. BEACH, M.D., one of the foremost physicians in Allegheny County, has an extensive and lucrative practice in Allegheny and Pittsburg, having an office in both cities, his residence being in the former at 89 Arch Street. Born September 15, 1859, near Sandy Lake, in Mercer County, son of Oliver Beach, he is of Scotch descent. His paternal grandfather, Stephan Whited Beach, who was born and reared in Scotland, came to America, accompanied by two brothers, one of whom settled in New York and the other in Boston. He located in New Jersey, where he worked industriously
at his trade of shoemaker. During the Revolutionary War he served as a soldier. He and his wife had fifteen children. Oliver Beach, who was born and educated in New Jersey, has been for many years a valued resident of Mercer County. He was formerly engaged in the blacksmith's trade, but is now the Postmaster, and a successful merchant of Sandy Lake village. For a number of terms he served as School Director in that town, and he has held a number of township offices with credit. Both he and his wife are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, he being a Ruling Elder. He married Ann Elizabeth Mulholland, who was born in Londonderry, Ireland, a daughter of William Mulholland. In 183o Mr. Mulholland emigrated with his family to this country, settling at first in Ohio, near Kent. Soon afterward he removed to Venango County, Pennsylvania, where he cleared and improved a good farm from the forest-covered land, living there until he had rounded out a long life. He was a local Methodist preacher, and reared seven children. Of the latter, one became a regularly ordained minister, and another is a practising physician in Toledo, Ohio. Of the seven children born to Oliver Beach and his wife, six are living, as follows: James Austin, of whom there is no special record; Delilah Jane, the wife of Aaron. Blair, of Emlenton, Pa. ; William M., the subject of this sketch; Martin Luther, who lives on the old homestead; Sarah Arethusa, the wife of William Park, - of Jackson Centre, Pa. ; and Nancy Keturah, the widow of Elmer Blair, who was recently killed by accident.
William M. Beach grew to manhood on the parental homestead, receiving his earliest education in the district schools of the neighborhood. Afterward he attended the Edinboro State Normal School and Waynesburg College,
graduating from the latter in 1882; then receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts and at a later period that of Master of Arts. Just after his graduation Mr. Beach was elected professor of Latin and Greek in Ozark College in Ozark, Mo. At the end of three years' service he was elected president of Odessa College in the same State. This position he resigned at the end of two years, in order to pursue his medical course. He then entered Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia, graduating from there in 1889. Since then he has been in active practice in his present location. He has a large patronage as a general practitioner, but in the past few years has paid special attention to rectal diseases, in the treatment of which he has met with marked success. In 1889 Dr. Beach was elected chief demonstrator of Anatomy in the West Penn Medical College, and during the three years with which he was connected with that institution he thoroughly reorganized his department. At present he is United States Examining Surgeon for Pensions, Assistant Surgeon of the Eighteenth Regiment of the National Guard, and Surgeon of the Presbyterian Hospital of Allegheny and Pittsburg. On June 28, 1882, Dr. Beach was united in marriage with Miss Lucy L. Miller, daughter of A. B. Miller, LL.D., the president of Waynesburg College, from which he had just received his degree. Her mother, formerly
Miss Margaret K. Bell, a woman of broad culture and distinguished for her scholarly attainments, was for many years connected with the college as principal of the female department. Both the Doctor and Mrs. Beach are esteemed members of the First Presbyterian Church of Allegheny. The Doctor is a Master Mason, belonging to Ionic Lodge, No. 525, A. F. & A. M. ; a member of the Allegheny County Medical Society, of the State Medical Society, and of the American Medical Association. In politics he is a sound Democrat.
