Introducing Margaret Louise Beyl

Margaret Louise Beyl Collins
Born: January 3, 1913 – Columbus, Indiana
Died: June 23, 1985 – Indianapolis, Indiana

Welcome to the memory space of Margaret Louise Beyl, the firstborn of Edward Beyl and Edna Applegate, a child of the early 20th century, and a woman who lived through eras of change with quiet resolve. Known to those around her as a devoted daughter, steadfast sister, hardworking saleslady, firefighter’s wife, and nurturing mother, Margaret’s story is stitched together in census records, clippings, and gravestones—but we know there’s always more between the lines.

This is the place for that “more.”

Maybe you remember Sunday dinners at her kitchen table. Maybe you’re holding on to a photo where her eyes twinkle just right. Maybe you’re a family historian, captivated by the grace of her generation. Whatever brings you here, we’re so glad you’ve come.

Do you have a story to share, a photo to upload, or a memory that refuses to fade? Scroll down and leave a comment. These quiet corners of the internet are how we keep the past alive and personal.

And if you haven’t yet, be sure to visit Margaret’s full family page here, where her journey from Columbus to Whiting to Indianapolis unfolds in detail.

We’re always adding, always listening.

With gratitude for your presence,
~Kris
