  Q. E. BEAUSEIGNEUR,* postmaster at Lecontes Mills, in Girard township, where 
he is engaged in the lumber business, is also engaged in farming and operates a 
general store, and has spent his whole life in this township and is one of its 
foremost men.  His parents, Peter and Elizabeth Beauseigneur, were both born in 
France, and the latter died in Girard township in 1908.  The father was three 
years old when his father brought him to Clearfield county, settling on 600 
acres of land, this being one of the rich old colonizing families of this 
section that originated in France.
  Q. E. Beauseigneur was reared and educated in Girard township.  He located on 
his present farm, which lies thirteen miles northeast of Clearfield, shortly 
after his marriage.  He is a man of unusual enterprise and successfully manages 
numerous interests.  He was appointed postmaster at Lecontes Mills in 1890, 
under the administration of President McKinley, and has been retained in office 
ever since.  In his general store he carries a well selected stock of goods, 
mainly groceries, and supplies a large surrounding territory.  In 1904 he was 
married to Miss A. Daugherty, of Clearfield, and they have one daughter, 
Rebecca.  Mr. and Mrs. Beauseigneur are members of the Roman Catholic church at 
Frenchville.
