Marv, Any chance that one of your Beasley's worked for the Post Office in Canton, IL? I grew up there and knew a Mr. Beasley at the Post Office. Looking at the 1978 Canton phone book I see five Beasley's listed. The Mr. Beasley I remember was probably about my parent's age (both born in 1899) but I'm not sure of that, just that he was a "grown-up" and a very nice man. -Mary mmatthews@bwn.net
