Named for Mark Beazer (?-1937), the area's first homesteader, postmaster and Mormon Bishop. Beazer and his wife Ellen Burton (1859-1956) married in 1880 and farmed in Utah until 1889 when they came to the Cardston area. They bought a homestead on this site in 1890, and eventually set up a post office from which a hamlet grew. |
