This is taken from a much longer story written by his son, Victor L. Beebe:
Henry Harold Beebe was born at Ulysses, Pa., his parents living in one part of the house occupied by his mother's brother, Orange Lewis. After the separation of his parents, he was taken by his father to New York and was cared for by his father's cousin, Clara Beebe Early.
When his father married again, he was sent back to Ulysses, about 1853, and as his mother found it difficult to keep him, she sent him to live with his uncle, Albert Lewis, with whom he made his home during most of his boyhood. He visited his father, however, at times, and served an apprenticeship to him at the cabinetmakers trade during his residence at Hedgesville, New York.
In the summer of 1870 he worked on a new house being built by Pliny Harris, and here he met Pliny Harris's daughter, Emma, whom he married in 1871. (the story then describes their various residences, problems earning a living, and eventual estrangement from his wife). His favorite work was the making of doors and furniture by hand, building cupboards, house finishing and the like. He had a natural gift for music, but no musical education, he was a good singer and played the accordion, occasionally furnishing music for a country dance. He was a total abstainer from alcoholic drinks and from tobacco.

LindaStroh46 source: The complete story is in The Life of Victor L. Beebe. Many of the people in the family have a copy, and it is also available at the Potter County Historical Society in Coudersport, PA. If Jeanne doesn't have a copy, let me know and I will copy it and send her one. Victor L. Beebe also wrote The History of Potter County, Pennsylvania which is available at most Pennsylvania libraries.
