This page is dedicated to my Beal and Haller ancestors who fled Germany in order to practice their religious beliefs. They established a religious colony in Blooming Grove, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. Dr. Haller was the founder and religious leader of the original colony. The Beal family eventually migrated to Crawford County, Ohio where most of the descendants still live.Obituaries taken from:
