W.W. BEEDE, living on section 29, Troy township, was born in Camden, Indiana, the date of his birth being January 8, 1853. His father, Eli Beede, was a native of Columbiana County, Ohio, and was an early settler of Clarke County, Iowa, but is at present living in Ringgold County, Iowa. He followed the cabinet-makers trade for a number of years, but is now engaged in agricultural pursuits.
W.W. , our subject, remained in his native town till six years of age, and in the spring of 1859 came with his parents to Osceola, Clarke County, Iowa, where he lived about eighteen months before he went with them to the farm. He received a good education, attending the high School at Osceola, and at the college at Oskaloosa, Iowa. He began teaching school at the age of sixteen years, and followed the profession most of the time till he reached the age of thirty years, since which he has devoted his entire attention to farming and stock-raising, making a specialty of graded stock. He removed to his present farm in 1876, where he lived alone for three years.
He then married Carrie A. Lambertson, a daughter of R. N. Lambertson, of Troy Township, the date of his marriage being December 4, 1879. This union has been blessed with two children--Nellie and Claude.
