J.H. Beisel Obituary
Camp Hill
J.H. Quentin Beisel died Tuesday, August 16, 2016 at home.
He graduated from Mechanicsburg High School in 1938, joined the U.S.M.C. in May 1944 and served in the Pacific campaign through February 1946. He was a member of American Legion Post 109, Mechanicsburg and Post 232, Dry Run.
He was born November 17, 1919 in Harrisburg to Harry Beisel and Stella Clendenin Beisel Shope. He was the widower of Elenor McCall Beisel and predeceased by an infant sister, Lois Beisel; two step-sisters, Lois Shope Hermansen and Louise Shope Hart.
After the war, Quentin became a dairy farmer (Ele-Quent Holsteins), enjoyed showing cattle at the PA Farm Show and Carlisle Fair. He also enjoyed working the greenhouses (Clendenin's and Ele-Quent Flowers), he attended Chestnut St. Market in Harrisburg, Broad St. Market in Harrisburg and The Lemoyne Farmer's Market.
He fished and trapped Cedar Run Creek which ran between the farm and greenhouses all his young life. He hunted small game and deer in PA for 70 years. He was instrumental in giving his son and other young men the joys of the outdoors, hunting and fishing. He hunted big-game through the American west, Alaska, Yukon and British Columbia.
After retiring, Quentin and Elenor bought a farm near Dry Run in Franklin County and again raised cattle, peacocks, pheasants and crops.
He is survived by four children, Bonnie (Martin) Wilson, 22135 Path Valley Rd., Doylesburg, James Quentin (Carlie) Beisel of Greenwood, MO, Sue (John) Hauenstein, 1137 St. Johns Rd., Camp Hill, Barbara Beisel of Nobelesville, IN; seven grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren. We will all miss his jokester personality and sparkling blue eyes.
There will be two visitations. The first viewing in Path Valley at Bonnie and Martin's home Friday, August 19 from 4 to 9 PM The second will be at Sue and John 's on St. John's from 9 AM to Noon, Saturday. Burial and services at 1 PM at St. John's Cemetery in Shiremanstown. Refreshments and visitation following at the greenhouses.

Jim and family,
I am so sorry to learn about your dad's passing. He was quite a guy. I have fond memories of the beautiful flowers and believe it or not, killing chickens. For a Camp Hill girl, it was quite the experience! May Pamp rest in peace.

Quintin was a wonderful neighbor and friend. When my grandaughters were little they enjoyed
taking a walk and looking at the peacocks , cats and calves at the farm.
