Interesting and Historic Memories of Old Settlers of Calhoun County
A. A. Beal, age 74, one of Anniston’s early settlers, recalls coming to town in 1869 and living there for 58 years. He was born in Roopville, Georgia, in 1844, joined the Confederate army at 17, fought at Mechanicsville and Gaines’ Mill, was wounded, captured at Newport News, paroled, and walked home as rail service collapsed. Now frail but honored, he remains a symbol of the city’s founding era and growth.
