E. F. Beall, M. D. During a professional career of about seven years Dr.
Beall has already become will known and justly deserves the eulogisms
bestowed upon him by his professional brethren as well as his patrons. He
was born in De Soto Parish, Louisiana, December 25, 1862, and his youth was
spent as a student in the common schools, which education he has since
greatly improved by much study and contact with the world. Hi is next to the
youngest of four living children born to Dr. A.J. and Anna (Sanders) Beall,
the former of whom was born in Georgia and is now a resident of Texas, and
the latter born in Alabama and died in Natchitoches Parish, La., in 1869,
when about thirty-four years of age. On January 1, 1881, E. F. Beall began
the study of medicine in his fathers office, and his first course of lectures
was received in the medical department of the Vanderbilt University at
Nashville, Tenn., and his second course during 1882-83, in Tulane University
of New Orleans, La., from which institution he was graduated with the degree
of M. D. in the spring of the last-named year. He then took a post-graduate
course at the New York Polytechnic Institute, then returning to Louisiana and
began practicing the healing art at Mansfield, remaining until 1884, when he
came to Coushatta and became associated in the practice of his profession
with Dr. W. Guthrie, a union which lasted very harmoniously and profitable to
both until the death of the latter on March 4, 1890, since which time Dr.
Beall has been alone. Miss Flora Eames, who was born in this State in 1866,
became his wife in 1888, and their marriage has resulted in the birth of one
child-Trammel. The doctor has always cast his vote for men of Democratic
principles, and socially, has for some time been a member of the Silent
Brotherhood Lodge No. 146, of the A. F. & A. M. of Coushatta.
