Beulah was the youngest daughter of Charles Mitchell and Mamie Snyder.  Her sister Mary Etta was five years older, and her brother Will was four years older. 

Beulah was very close to her sister throughout her life.  Her sister introduced her to her future husband, John R.

  •         Jeanette - (1929 - 1949)
  •         Stanley - (1933 -
