Jim, I can only give you a little bit of info on the Bealls but sometimes it is all one needs to proceed further. There was a William Beall in Granite City, Madison Co. IL. He ran the Granite City Building and Loan Company or maybe it was called the Tri-City Bldg & Loan. This was in the thirties. He was of an age that would have put him born about 1900 or earlier. I know nothing of his family or anything else. My parents were clients of his, I think. Good Luck, Bud Frohardt ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
