When Asa " A. A." Beahm was born on February 8, 1855, in Page, Virginia, his father, George, was 26 and his mother, Phoebe, was 22. He married Jeannette Jones and they had eight children together. He then married Virgie Mae Deavers and they had four children together. He died on May 30, 1927, in Rileyville, Virginia, at the age of 72, and was buried on his farm. He went by may names my mother even said she saw a birth cert for him that gave his first name as Joseph. I have never seen it and can not prove it. At age 5, his mother listed him as Asa A so that is what I use. His obit read as follows.
