Lenawee County Probate Judges 1885
He was an intense and painstaking worker; honest, pure, generous, and noble, he discharged
every trust committed to him with conscientious fidelity. The office work of the probate judge increases with the growth of the country, requiring more and more constant application and labor, which, with the continuous draft upon one's sympathies, taxes to the utmost the strongest constitution. The strain was too great, and Judge Beaman's health was gradually under mined. He grew prematurely old; and, like the lamented Beecher, died before his time, but he left to posterity the rich legacy of a grand, upright, and useful life.
This brings the record, imperfectly, of course, to the time when the writer assumed the duties of judge of probate of the county, and there I leave it.
