Adam Madison Beeler (October 11, 1879 – March 25, 1947) was a justice of the Washington Supreme Court from 1930 until 1932. Beeler served as a King County Superior Court Judge between April 6, 1928 and September 30, 1930, when he was appointed to the Supreme Court by Governor Roland H. Hartley.[2]
Born in Bluffton, Wells County, Indiana, to Peter and Elizabeth Beeler, he attended the Indiana University, where he met his future wife, Florence Leona Scott (November 30, 1887 – January 12, 1960), and was graduated in 1903.[3] He then attended George Washington University Law School.[3] He was married to Florence Scott on April 8, 1909, in Seattle,[4] and they had a son and two daughters: Madison Scott Beeler, Elizabeth Beller, and Virginia Jean Beeler.[5][6]
Beeler had served in the Washington House of Representatives[7] from 1922 until 1928. In 1932, Beeler resigned his court seat to run for United States Senate, and after losing the primary he was considered in November 1932 as a replacement to Wesley Livsey Jones, following his death.[1][8][9][10]
