Dr. A. I. Beach
Dr. A.I. Beach married a daughter of Judge (Benjamin) Jackson. Dr. Beach came from Connecticut and located in Bellville in 1826, and that village was ever afterwards his home. He was a college graduate and took the degree of M.D. in 1825. Dr. Beach was a brother of Moses Y. Beach, the founder, and for many years the editor of the New York Sun newspaper. The doctor was a man of culture, had traveled in Europe, and was eminent in his profession. He seemed out of his element in a village, for his attainments qualified him to be the associate of scholars and of men of renown. He accumulated property and his niece, Mrs. B.O. Smith, is his heir, as he left no children.
