Darrel,
I'm researching the family of George R Beal. Going through my grandfather's papers, I found 2 photos of a Clyde Beal (listed on the back as his cousin). One of them is a photo of Clyde, his wife Vicky, my great grandfather Charles C Beal, great grandmother Nora Dixon Beal, my grandfather Cecil Warren Beal and grandmother Mabel Taylor Beal. George R Beal's family Bible lists a John C Beal, the 1860 or 1870 Census lists a John C Beal as living with George R Beal in Monroe Twp Guernsey Co Ohio. My mother has told me that Clyde Beal was a photographer who had a studio in Dallas TX. Does he match up with your John Clyde Beal?
