Martin and Elizabeth (Toonen) Beelen, natives of that country. They came to America in 1868, settling in the town of Buchanan, where Mr. Beelen bought eighty acres of raw timber land. His first work on this property was to cut down and hew trees and build a log cabin, two stories in height, 18x24 feet, and in this house he lived until 1882, then built a frame structure, 18x28, two stories, with a wing 16x26, and in this house he lived practically all the remainder of his life, dying May 23, 1906, at the advanced age of eighty-one years. His wife passed away August 6, 1894, in her seventy-third year, and is buried in Little Chute, the father having been interred at DePere, Wisconsin.
