Notes for WILLIAM HUNNICUTT BEEMAN:
__________________________________________

     Dallas, Texas, Jan. 2 (Special correspondence). Three and one-half miles east of the news office, standing in a pretty grove of post oaks, about 30 paces from the track of the Texas and Pacific Railroad, stands the modest home of the two oldest living pioneer settlers of Dallas county ( Mr. and Mrs. William H. BEEMAN. These venerable settlers of the then western wilds of Texas date their residence here from a period prior to the organization of Dallas County, prior to the settlement of Peter's colony, prior to the annexation of the Republic of Texas to the Federal Union.

     William H. BEEMAN was born in Greene[e] County, Ill. on May 11, 1827. His father, John BEEMAN, was a farmer, who moved from Illinois to what is now Bowie County, Texas, in 1840, stopping for a year near Dalby Springs. He was accompanied by his brother James J. BEEMAN and family, and some five years later, another brother, Samuel, moved to Texas. Including the children born in Dallas County, the total offspring of the three pioneers numbered 24 sons and daughters.

     Biographical Note: William Hunnicutt BEEMAN was the first son of Dallas pioneer settlers John and Emily Hunnicutt BEEMAN. William was born in Illinois in 1827, and came to Texas with his family in 1840, settling first in Red River County. In the spring and summer of 1841, John BEEMAN and his half-brother, James Jackson BEEMAN, participated in the militia campaigns to clear hostile Indians from the Three Forks area of North Texas. Later that year, Jonathan Bird and other militia members and pioneer families, including John BEEMAN's nephew, John S. BEEMAN, constructed and occupied Bird's Fort, near the present day Arlington. In early 1842, they were invited by John Neely BRYAN to join him in his new settlement, in what soon became Dallas.

     Margaret BEEMAN, sister of William, married John Neely BRYAN in 1843.

     William BEEMAN married Martha DYE in 1851; their union produced 12 children. They lived on the original John BEEMAN land claim on White Rock Creek. William died in 1905 and Martha died in 1912. They are buried in the BEEMAN Family Cemetery near their home, and next to the graves of John and Emily BEEMAN.

     When the decision was made to form a county in 1846, John BEEMAN traveled to Austin to present the petition to the State Legislature. Because the county was not yet established, the settlement of Dallas, still within Nacogdoches County, the Legislature refused to recognize the petitioner from Dallas. The representative of Robertson County, west of the Trinity River, agreed to present the petition, and when it was later ratified, William BEEMAN, still a teenager, traveled alone, 170 miles, to Franklin to retrieve the certificate.

     The original name choice for the county was Polk, in honor of then President James K Polk, but that had already been taken. The name Dallas was then selected by the Legislature, in honor of Vice President George M Dallas. Dallas County, and the City of Dallas, share that common name, but most likely, were each named for different individuals.

#5583: Memorial & Biographical History of Dallas County, Texas, 1892.

     WILLIAM H. BEEMAN, a pioneer of Dallas county, Texas, was born in Greene County, Illinois, in May, 1827, the third in a family of 10 children born to John and Emily (HONEYCUTT) BEEMAN, natives of Georgia and South Carolina, respectively. The father moved to Illinois in an early day, settling near Alton, where he was subsequently married. He was a farmer and millwright by trade, and also ran a ferry and wood yard in Illinois. He emigrated to Texas with horse teams in 1840, having bought 640 acres before starting, of a frontier trader, and located 80 miles from any settlement. The first six months, he lived in a fort, and afterward located on land that is now within the city limits. He always made this county his home, and his death occurred in 1850; the mother is still living, residing on Ten Mile creek, Dallas County. William H. BEEMAN was reared and educated in Illinois, and at the age of 14 years, came to Texas and aided in opening up the home farm. He commenced life for himself in Dallas, in the carriage and wagon makers' trade, and in 1851, commenced business for himself on Elm Street, which he continued about 15 years. Mr. BEEMAN cleared the land where his three-story brick building now stands, known as Deering Block, on Elm Street. After the war broke out, Mr. BEEMAN moved to his farm, where he has 77 acres in a good state of cultivation, having given most of his land to his children. He was married in Dallas County, in 1851, to Martha DYE, a native of Virginia, and a daughter of Benjamin and Sarah DYE, also natives of Virginia. The parents settled in Kentucky in an early day, and in 1847, came to Dallas, where the father died in 1852, and the mother a few years later.

     Mr. and Mrs. BEEMAN have had 10 children. The living are: 1. J. E., in East Dallas, 2. Nevada, 3. Addie, wife of Benjamin Say(g)e, of Dallas County, 4. Holly, of East Dallas, 5. L. O., at home, 6. Roxie, also at home.

     Mr. BEEMAN has seen the complete development of Dallas County, and rode in the first wagon that ever came into Dallas. Politically, he is a Democrat, has always taken an interest in everything for the good of the county, and aids materially in all public enterprises. He assisted in the organization of the county, having ridden 140 miles on horseback to see the judge and get an order to organize.

     "William H. BEEMAN migrated to the Peters Colony as a single man prior to 1 Jul 1848. He was issued a land certificate by Thomas William Ward in 1850, which he sold, unlocated. It was later patented in Dallas County (Robertson Third Class Certificate No. 1726). He is listed on the Census of 1850 (Dallas County, Family No. 421) as a 23-year-old farmer, born in Illinois."

__________________________________________

     THE FOLLOWING NOTES are transcribed from the "Memorial and Biographical History of Dallas County", Page #178.

     Mr. W.(illiam) H.(unnicutt) BEEMAN, while a quiet and retired old gentleman, was one of the most interesting of the old pioneers attending the reunion at Garland. He came to Texas from Illinois with his father (John Beeman) in 1840, and settled in what is now Dallas County in 1842.

     Mr. (John) Beeman was the first to break the sod for agricultural pursuits in the county in the spring of 1842. It was a plat of 7 or 8 acres, about 4 miles east of the City of Dallas.

     At the same time, he erected the second house built in Dallas County, the first being a log structure put up by John Neely BRYAN, the founder of Dallas, a few weeks before, whose cabin stood, Mr. BEEMAN says, at the foot of Main Street.

     Speaking of early life in Dallas County, Mr. BEEMAN said to a news reporter, "We lived very hard at first. We had wild meats and bread. I dressed the buckskins and made my moccasins and clothes, except shirts, for 3 years. We finger-picked cotton, which the women used in weaving clothes and shirts for the men. For 2 years, we beat our meal for bread on a mortar, or ground it in a hand mill. We had to buy corn in Fannin County."

     "I rode in the first wagon, and cut the road as we went into Dallas. We came in after cedar timber, which we cut to build a fence around Ham(pton) (Wade) RATTAN's grave. Rattan, who was a brother-in-law of Governor Throckmorton, was killed by the Indians on Elm Fork, while he was out bear hunting (on 25 December 1841). He was buried 20 miles west of Dallas at Bird's Fort, but nobody knows, to-day, where his grave is."

     Although Mr. (William) BEEMAN was one of the most active participants in the organization of the County, and has been a constant resident of the County, he has never held, and never sought, office. "When the County was organized in 1846," he said, "I went and got the order from the county seat of Robertson County at Franklin. I rode a mustang and went alone. It was Indian Territory then, and the trip was attended with considerable risk. I camped out each night. When I was returning home one night, on the other side of Richland Creek, I saw a herd of buffaloes gathered in a great herd, which became wild with fright, and I could not tell the roar of the storm from the sound of the moving buffaloes. I sought protection in a skirt of timber close by.

     "I assisted in building the first ferryboat that was ever put in the Trinity at Dallas. We took two large cottonwood logs, and after digging them out like canoes, we fastened them together with puncheon. This was the floor. We had no rope; buffalo rawhide stretched so, that we could not use it, so we took buffalo hair and twisted it into a rope, with which we towed the boat. The boat was located at what is now the foot of Commerce Street bridge, and we carried across the river in it, all the early settlers of the County."

     "The Indians used to give us a great deal of trouble. When we came to Dallas County, we left our team of horses at Honey Grove, fearing the Indians would get them if we brought them farther. We drove oxen from Honey Grove to Dallas. Once, the Indians made a raid just across the river from Dallas and stole about 18 head of horses. A party of 19 of us followed them to Wise County, and there, we lost track of them among the friendly Indians. When we started home, we ran out of provisions and bought some meat from the Indians. It was said to be horse meat, but it tasted good to a half-starved man."

     "We traveled the next day without anything to eat, and that night, I shot a wild turkey on Denton Creek. Nineteen men fed on it, and we got up hungry. When we struck Elm Fork, I killed a deer, which we roasted and ate without salt or bread; but fortunately for us, we reached home the next night."

     "We lived peaceably and enjoyed ourselves those days. We had no trouble. Everybody was honest. I remember the first case of stealing that I ever heard of in the County. A young man was driving sheep down Elm fork to Dallas. On the way down, he entered a place and stole a butcher knife and a comb, and some other articles. He was overtaken, and the parties gave him his choice between a certain number of lashes, and prosecution in the courts at Dallas. He said that he would take the lashes, but he wished a thousand rails that he had not committed the theft. That was a common expression of regret those days. To split a thousand rails was a big task. I believe if more of that kind of punishment was inflicted today, we would have less stealing."

     "I remember the burning of Dallas in 1860. I was not in town that day. The fire started on the west side of the square at Wallace Peak's drug store. While the people were at work trying to check it, at that point, it broke out on the east side, and then they told me it broke out here and there, so fast, that they could not keep up with it."

     "There is no doubt, but the negroes fired the town. They said they did, and the two white preachers, whom they said had put them up to it, were whipped and set out of the country."

     "Just before the fire, Alex. Cockrell had built a 3-story brick tavern. The building was 50 x 100 feet, and it was the largest and finest building in all north Texas. It burned. A brick wareroom on the north side of Commerce Street covers the spot where this tavern was built. I kept the first tavern in Dallas in a small house on the north side of the square. Old man Tom Crutchfield rented it, and finally, he built the old Crutchfield house on the northwest corner of the square, which was burned several times."

     "But speaking of the hanging of the 3 negroes for setting fire to Dallas in 1860, when excavations were being made for the Texas & Pacific Railway bridge across the Trinity at Dallas, their bones were unearthed. They were buried there after they were hanged."

     "I remember the first legal hanging in the County. It was the first trial for murder, and the negro woman, who had split a man's head open with an axe, while he was asleep, was hanged."

     "I remember when steamboats were on the Trinity. I made the trip on the "Sallie Haynie" from Magnolia to the mouth of East Fork. I am a firm believer in the navigation of the Trinity to Dallas. I think it can be done with the expenditure of a little money, in cleaning out drifts and cutting overhanging timber, and I believe that boats can be run here 6 to 9 months each year."

     "We were subject to many privations and many hardships in the early days. When we left home, we did not know but that on our return, we would find our families butchered by the Indians, or that we, ourselves, would be shot and killed. A part of the time, we were in constant dread and fear, and we invited immigration. We welcomed the newcomer and divided what we had with him. We wanted to increase our numbers and help keep back the foe."

     Mr. (William) BEEMAN married Miss Martha E.(unice) DYE, near what is now the town of Garland, TX, in 1851. They have 8 (living) children and a number of grandchildren. His sister, Margaret, who is yet living, was the wife of John Neely BRYAN.

     Mr. & Mrs. William Hunnicutt Beeman, Incidents of the Early Days in Texas -- The First Citizens of This Section of the State : (This was an interview)

     "...Indian depredations continued in this section for several years after the advent of the Beemans. In 1843, after a vain attempt of President Houston to assemble a council of chiefs of the various tribes then in this section at Grape Vine Springs (near present town of Grape Vine), he had to return to his official duties at the capital, and left Gen. E. H. Tarrant and Geo. W. Terrill, with John H. Reagan as pilot and Col. Thos. L. Smith, commander of the escort, to effect a treaty of peace. This was finally accomplished at Johnson's Station, a point three miles south of the present town of Arlington. Since that time, Dallas County has been exempt from Indian raids, though, for many years afterwards, counties to the west suffered great annoyance. Up to about 1841, Indians made raids as far east as English's Fort (Bonham now). Wm. H. Beeman says, that when his father and family arrived there on their way out to Bird's Fort, in the latter part of that year, he saw an Indian scalp nailed upon the gable of the trading-house. The red skin had been killed in the recent raid into that section..."

     In 1960, an attorney from Weatherford, Fred R. Cotten, wrote to Ruth & included a sketch he had written on James J. Beeman, Jr. In this, is only one sentence having to do with the treaty:

     "...President Sam Houston was eager for a treaty with the Indians, and Beeman was present at the meeting near Bird's Fort on Sept. 29, 1843, when General Edward H. Tarrant and George W. Terrell concluded their treaty..."

     Mrs. W. H. BEEMAN, whose maiden name was Martha DYE, was born in Oldham County, Kentucky, April 30, 1825. She came with her father Benjamin DYE to Texas in 1842, settling upon Whiterock Creek near the present town of Garland, where her father died a few years later. She was married to William H. BEEMAN in 1851. Twelve children were born to this union, six of whom are now living in Dallas County. Both Mr. and Mrs. BEEMAN, though "up in years," are living in the enjoyment of good health and seem contented and happy. They are proud of the distinction of being the oldest living pioneers of the great County of Dallas, and they love to talk over their early days of strenuous, yet pleasant, pioneer life. They related many interesting incidents of Dallas, and recalled with affectionate regard, the names of a number of pioneer friends who have "crossed over the river to rest in the shade of the trees."

________________________________

     In the short but happy life of East Dallas (1882-1890), none of its City Hall functionaries was better known or more widely appreciated than City Marshall, Joe E. BEEMAN.

     A nephew of John Neely BRYAN, founder of the original town of Dallas, BEEMAN was born on a Dallas County farm in 1854. He learned and practiced the trade of a blacksmith. He was 28 years old when upon the incorporation of East Dallas in 1882, he was elected its first City Marshall.

     As it turned out, BEEMAN was the only City Marshall East Dallas ever had. Although opposed for each subsequent term, he was triumphantly returned each time to the high office. He was alone, in fact, among all elected officials of this first satellite city of "Big D" to serve continuously from its birth to its death.

     Curiously enough, BEEMAN's acclaim was based fully as much on his prowess as a writing man on his exploits in combating crime. His weekly reports, read in person to the East Dallas City Council, quickly became famous. They were generously quoted by Dallas newspapers for the guidance of citizens and taxpayers of East Dallas as well as for the edification of the larger Dallas community.

     When BEEMAN threatened at one time to give up written reports, the City Council passed a resolution requiring him to continue making them at each meeting.

     Marshall BEEMAN may have anticipated the order. At least he was ready with a penciled statement to the effect that during the past week he had made 11 arrests, 4 of which were for hog pen nuisances, 3 for disturbing the peace, 1 for carrying a pistol, and 3 for vagrancy. He added that he had notified several owners of hog and cow pens to abate the same, and he wound up by calling attention to the sad condition of paving on a number of streets, particularly the part of Elm Street that ran through the city.

     The report, declared the Dallas News, was lauded and adopted. Relations between the ebullient City Marshall and the City Council were not always smooth. He reported one week that after arresting 3 men for assault to murder and 2 for disturbing the peace, he had been forced to turn his prisoners over "to the tender mercies of the sheriff" because East Dallas then had "no place of durance." The Council took the barbed hint and promptly ordered a calaboose built next to the City Hall at Gaston and Hall.

     On another critical occasion, the question of fees collected by the City Marshall caused a rift in the Council. BEEMAN explained that he arrested "all sorts of criminals for cities other than this, for counties, for the state and other states on Federal charges." He felt he was entitled to keep the fees. Alderman, Sam P. Bird, led those opposed, saying that the city paid the marshall a fixed salary. But Alderman, Fred Ganzer observed that the $500 a year salary was small indeed and he favored letting BEEMAN retain the fees as well.

     The same Alderman raised the further question of rewards collected for apprehending dangerous criminals, one for whom a $1,000 reward had been posted.

     "In that case," said Alderman, Charles O. Wood, "East Dallas ought to scoop up the reward."

     This led Alderman, T. J. Murnane to say: "It might be well for this Council to sell shares in City Marshall BEEMAN. He may pan out handsomely some day and equal a Mexican silver mine."

     When a vote was finally taken on a motion to pass all fees and rewards to the Treasury of East Dallas, the score stood 4 to 4. Mayor George W. Crutcher broke the tie by voting for the resolution. Undaunted by the Council action, BEEMAN presented a bill at the same meeting for $1.50 for having removed the decomposing carcass of a hog and dog. Although another Alderman - T. G. O'Reilly -- remarked that "if Mr. BEEMAN is interested in starting a butterine factory, he ought to whack up with the city," the Council allowed the bill.

     Typical of BEEMAN's report was that of Nov 9, 1886, addressed to the City Council of East Dallas:

     Nothing of interest until the 6th, when I buried 2 dogs and 1 mule.

     Nothing of interest until the 14th, when I buried 1/2 barrel of dead fish.

     On the 16th I shot twice at Charlie Williams. On the 17th and 18th made the same old trip around town.

     On the 25th went to the show and made 1 arrest for carrying a pistol and turned him over to the sheriff. Arrested 1 man for pickpocket and turned him loose. On the 29th, arrested 1 man for being drunk and carried him before Recorder Wood.

     From Oct 30 to Nov 4, very dull.

     P.S.-- Nov 7. Locked up 4 men for disturbing the peace and 1 for carrying a pistol and all broke out of the calaboose. After court, Mr. Lyons and I repaired the calaboose.

     Many years after East Dallas had been merged in 1890 with the parent city, its last mayor, George W. Crutcher, remembered BEEMAN's reports particularly for their unique character and humor." BEEMAN himself looked back on his public service with a somewhat sterner appraisal. In his own memoirs used as the basis of an entry in a biographical dictionary of the 1890's, he recalled only that "during his administration as City Marshall, BEEMAN saw hard service, having been in 6 shooting affrays and having a large area at that time to look after."

     East Dallas was a far-flung municipality, taking in at its peak 1,429 acres, or an area larger than that of Dallas itself. It extended from the eastern end of the present Central Business District to Henderson Avenue and from Ross Avenue on the North to the present State Fair Grounds on the South. Less than 300 people lived in East Dallas when it was incorporated by a vote of 65 to 2. But it grew phenomenally before it was dissolved less than a decade later, there being an estimated 6,000 inhabitants by 1890. This was a population increase of more than 2,000 per cent -- a growth rate not to be equaled for more than half a century, or until the suburban cities of Dallas County took off in their fantastic expansions after 1950.

     J. E. BEEMAN, one of the successful citizens of Dallas county, was born in this city, in 1854, the eldest child of William H. and M. E. (Dye) Beeman, natives of Illinois and Kentucky respectively. The father came with his parents, John and Emily Beeman, to Dallas in 1842, where he took up a headright, on a part of which the city of Dallas now stands, and both he and his wife still reside in this city. Our subject was reared and educated in Dallas, where he also learned the blacksmith's trade, which he followed continuously until 1882. In that year he was elected Marshal of East Dallas, also Assessor and Collector three terms, and in 1886 he was again elected City Marshall, having held that office from 1882 to 1889. In that year the two municipal governments united, making it all the city of Dallas. Mr. Beeman was the first and last City Marshall of East Dallas. After his marriage he settled on Elm Street, and in 1890 he bought a good residence on the corner of Kentucky and Residence streets, and also owns property on Kentucky street, which he rents.

     He was married in this city, in 1876, to Miss Annie E. Russey, a native of Tennessee and a daughter of B. F. and Elizabeth (Parker) Russey, the former a native of Virginia and the latter of Tennessee. The father followed farming and stock-raising until after his removal to Dallas, in October, 1874, when he engaged in the manufacture of brick. The mother died in Tennessee, in 1862, and the father died in Dallas city, in March, 1889. Mr. and Mrs. Beeman have had three
children: Emmett Martin, Robert Earl and Eva Lena. Mr. Beeman is identified with the Democratic party, and during his administration as City Marshall he saw hard service, having been in six shooting affrays and at that time had a large area to look over.

OBITUARY: Dallas Times Herald, Tue May 13, 1947, LEE BEEMAN CITY PIONEER DIES AT 85

     A colorful figure of the dawn era of Dallas, Lee Oren BEEMAN, 85, son of one of the earliest families to settle in Dallas County, died Monday at a Dallas Hospital.

     Staunch supporter to the end of the rugged individualism which pushed forward the mushroom development of Dallas, he took a vital interest in Local, State, and personal politics and loved to argue issues and personalities. Last in several generations of blacksmiths, he operated during most of his life, a blacksmith shop on Exposition Avenue, opposite from the State Fair Grounds. Strong was his contempt for technological innovations, and he insisted upon using only hand tools to ply his trade. He lived at 5118 Gurley Avenue.

     Funeral services will be conducted at 10 am Wednesday at Charles F. Weiland Funeral Chapel. Ralph Arceneaux, Pastor of Cockrell Hill Church of Christ of which Mr. BEEMAN was a member, and Coleman Overby, Pastor of the Pearl and Bryan Church of Christ, will officiate. Interment will be in Grove Hill Cemetery.

Nicknamed "Uncle Bud".

     "Uncle Bud", as he was familiarly known, was the son of the first man to cultivate a field in Dallas County. His grandfather, John BEEMAN and his father William H. BEEMAN, prodded the first wagons into Dallas County in 1842. In that year, W. H. BEEMAN built the second cabin in the County. John Neely BRYAN, first Dallas County pioneer, had raised the first cabin that same year. BRYAN shortly married one of the BEEMAN daughters, Margaret.

     When, 4 years later, Dallas County was organized, W. H. BEEMAN rode through Indian country to Franklin, Robertson County, to return with court authorization for the birth of Dallas County as such.

Birthplace near Fair Park.

     Lee Oren BEEMAN was born in 1862 on a 640 acre family tract just east of the Fair grounds. He began blacksmithing as a youth and continued until his age demanded less strenuous activities. Then he opened a small cafe on East Grand Avenue, which he operated until his retirement about 6 years ago.

     Surviving are 6 children, Mark BEEMAN of Corpus Christi, and W.O. BEEMAN, Johnnie BEEMAN, Harry BEEMAN, Bob BEEMAN, and Miss Joyce BEEMAN, all of Dallas; a sister, Mrs. Sonoma MYERS of Dallas, and a brother, Holly BEEMAN of Shreveport.

     Pallbearers will be R. M. Ledbetter, R. H. Burrell, Frank Milton, Carroll Shaw, Otho Chick, and G. W. Kerr.
