BEAUFORT G. BEAVERS was born May 22, 1844, in the north part of Hardin
County, on Mill Creek, and is the fifth of the three sons and five
daughters born to James and Mary (La Hue) Beavers. James Beavers was born
in Meade County, was reared a farmer, and after marriage moved to Hardin
County, where he died in 1862, aged fifty years. He was the son of John
Beavers, a native of Virginia, who came to Meade County, Ky., when young,
married Kittie Tull, of Harrison County, Ind., and became the father of
twelve children. B. G. Beavers remained on the home farm until October,
1861, when he enlisted in Company D, Sixth Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, and
took part in the battles of Fort Donelson, Nashville and Shiloh, at which
last place he was wounded in the right arm, which occasioned his being sent
to Mound City, Ill., and thence home on a forty days' furlough, after which
he reported to his command, but, being still unable to perform duty, was
discharged. In September, 1867, he married Mary Ellen, daughter of Andy J.
and Nancy (Payne) Wilcoxson, of Hart County. He then located at Nolin
Station (where he had been engaged one year before marriage), and employed
himself in farming and in the goods business. In 1869 he located at
Magnolia and engaged in the same occupations. He has 210 acres near the
village well, and two residences; also 350 acres in Hardin County, near
Nolin Station, and eighty acres in Barry County, Mo. He is also interested
in the leaf tobacco trade, and in 1880 erected the Magnolia College
building on his farm, at a cost of $7,000. He has had born to him the
following children; Leonora, James Andrew, Willie (deceased), Wilburn H.,
Lura [sic] P., Catlia, Frederick and Stella. Mr. Beavers was a Granger in
the day of that order, in politics is a Republican (having cast his first
presidential vote for Grant), and with his wife is a member of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
