CLYDE LEE BEASLEYCLYDE LEE BEASLEY.--Among the younger representatives of the business interests of Hymera is Clyde L. Beasley, who has spent the greater part of his life here and is well known in the business and social circles of the community. He was but twenty years of age when he started in the drug business in company with his brothers, Bert and William, the three forming the firm of Beasley Brothers, and the store has ever since been conducted under that name, although Clyde L. has since purchased his brother’s interests and since the fall of 1904 has been the sole proprietor of the business. He carries a full and complete line of drugs, drug sundries, wallpaper, paints, oils, schoolbooks, cigars, tobacco, clocks, jewelry, and many other articles found in a store of this character, and transacts a large business in an up-to-date and satisfactory manner. Hymera's popular druggist was born in Shelburn, Indiana, September 19, 1883, a son of Samuel and Lucy (Rodgers) Beasley and a grandson of Ephraim Beasley, a native of Tennessee and in his lifetime a very large farmer and stock buyer, and William Rodgers, who was born in Kentucky. He was a prominent contractor and also owned a farm in Hamilton township. Samuel and Lucy (Rodgers) Beasley were born respectively in Sullivan county, Indiana, and in Kentucky, and their home is now in Hymera, where Mr. Beasley has lives as a retired farmer since 1905; Their six children are Bert, whose home is in Terre Haute; William, also of that city; Clyde Lee; Clifton, of Hymera; and Pearl and Anna, both at home.
