Amos Gale (Bean) Towle was the son of Enos Bean and Mary Smith Bean.Mary died shortly after the birth of Amos.He was "adopted" by Nehemiah Towle and Abigail Bean Towle.Abigail was a first cousin to Enos.I do not know how formal the adoption was made.Around 1853/1854 Amos Gale (Bean) Towle and Mary Towle moved to Haverhill, MA.Amos Gale (Bean) Towlecommitted suicide in 1861.
Four of his sons ended up in Hammond IN at one time: Marcus Morton, Amos Gale, Porter, and Edward Everett.
