Horace S. Beach is one of the oldest and most respected pioneers of Saginaw county. He was born at New York city, Jan. 16, 1806, and his boyhood was mostly passed in Delaware. At the age of 15 years he went to Livingston Co., N. Y., where he subsequently taught school for 12 or 14 years in different counties, he came to this county in 1837, and the same year taught the first school in Saginaw City under a certificate or by a certificate. He was a surveyor, and was engaged in that business more or less until 1855. He moved to his present farm in 1849. He cast his maiden vote for John Quincy Adams, but of late years has been a firm advocate of the principles set forth by the Republican party. He has been elected to fill several different offices in Saginaw tp. and city, and in 1842 and '44, served his fellow men as county Register of Deeds. He was married at Saginaw City, in 1840, to Catherine F. Malden, who was born in Newfoundland, in 1818. Her father came to this county in 1834, locating on sec. 34 of this tp., on land bought of Government. Nine children have been given to Mr. Beach and wife, 4 of whom are living—the remainder having all died under 12 years of age, except Minnie, who was 19 years old at date of her departure from this earth. Two sons served in the late war, both of whom still survive. The children are M. Malden, a farmer of Isabella Co., Mich.; Charles, a captain, Theodore J. and Horace F., both farmers. Theodore J. was born Nov. 10, 1851. He was educated in the public schools of Saginaw City, and has spent considerable time in sawmills, etc.; was sailor on the lakes for some period; was also in the employ of the Tittabawassee Boom Co. for four seasons; is Republican in politics; was married Jan. 1, 1879, to Eliza, daughter of James Major, and a native of Michigan.
