With a population of 475 residents, Beallsville suffered the highest known per-capita casualty rate during the Vietnam War. Six Beallsville men, all under the age of 21, were killed in action in Vietnam between 1966 and 1971, and in 1969 Beallsville citizens worked with congressional representatives to try to prevent further loss of life, without success. Five other Monroe County men also lost their lives in the conflict, deepening the loss for one of Ohio's least-populated counties. The dead were SSgt. Glenn E. McCammon of Woodsfield, Pfc. Jack Pittman of Beallsville, Pfc. Duane T. Greenlee of Beallsville, Cpl. Charles G. Schnegg of Beallsville, SP4 Richard L. Rucker of Beallsville, Hm3 William R. "Bobby" Lucas of Beallsville, Cpl. Dwight H. Ball of Sardis, SP4 Stephen M. Janeda of Brownsville, SP4 Phillip M. Brandon of Beallsville, Pfc. Dale R. Hood of Lewisville, and SSgt. James A. Ravencraft of Clarington.
