Veteran of the Civil War, Enlisted in Company F as a Private, Massachusetts 1st Calvary Regiment on 08 Aug 1862.
Mustered out on 07 Nov 1864.
Received a pension for service in the Civil War

Joseph was born in 1832 to Dexter Beals (father) and Julia (mother) in Goshen, Massachusetts. He married two times. The name of his first wife is not currently known. His second marriage was to a 40-year-old woman named Hattie B. Hammond or Hattie B. Mills, to use her maiden name. He died in 1900 in Goshen, Massachusetts.

Beals is listed in the 1890 Veterans Schedule for Goshen, Hampshire, Massachusetts. It notes that he served in Company F of the 1st Massachusetts Cavalry from Aug. 8, 1862 to March 2, 1864, serving for a total of 2 years, 2 months, 29 days.

On December 22, 1889, Hattie B. Mills, now called Hattie B. Hammond, married a Civil War Veteran by the name of Joseph Beals (age 57) in what was described as her (and his) second marriage, first married to someone named Martha, within Massachusetts, either Goshen or Plainfield. [1] The marriage record clearly states that Hattie is the child of John R. Mills and Margaret, with Joseph noted as the child of Dexter Beals and Julia. [2]
Joseph was living in 1900, but with his wife Hattie in Goshen Town, within Massachusetts’s Hampshire County, with Marian and Charles E. Packard, children of Dora Mills (https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=27476416&ref=acom) and Cyrus Packard (https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=54539086), living with them, along with Edith B. Hammond, likely a daughter of Hattie and her previous husband, Hannibal (https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=181589066). [3] While this census was issued on June 16, a Headstone Application for U.S. Military Veterans in February 1948 claims he died on June 10. The only reason for this discrepancy in dates means that either the census information was collected before June 10 or that Joseph died on a date after June 16. [4] The available information solved many mysteries, opening the door to further research.
