Jesse G. Beeson was born Deember 10, 1807, in Wayne County, Ind., where his parents, who were both natives of
North Carolina, settled at aa early day. In 1828, Jesse G. Beeson was married to Anna Renesten, who was the mother
of his eight children. In 1830, he made a tour of inspection through Southwestern Michigan, visiting the Carey
Mission during his stay, and in 1833, with his wife and three children, came to La Grange Township, Cass County,
which has ever since been his home. He first located on the farm now owned by Ahram Fiero, and there built a small
log cabin. After five years of pioneering experience at this place, he removed, in 1837, to the farm he now lives
upon, which he bought of James Cavanaugh. Mr. Beeson has devoted his energies principally to farming and has been
very successful. He is widely known in the county and universally respected. In politics, he is a Republican. He
has been honored with election to various local offices, and in 1853 was chosen to represent the people of his
county in the State Senate, which he did with credit to himself and his constituency. Now, at the age of seventy-five
years, he is a hale, well preserved man, both mentally and physically, and his vigorous health attests the correctness
of his life.
The children of Jesse G. and Anna (Renesten) Beeson, eight in number, are all living. They are: William H., of
La Grange; Isaac N., of Three Rivers; B. F., of Calvin; Mary Jane (Huff), of Lincoln, Neb.; Lorana (Dickson), of
Wisconsin; Laura B. (Cammeron), of the same State, and Anderson G., of Lincoln, Neb.
Mr. Beeson’s first wife died in 1870, and in 1872 he married his present wife.
