The sad news came to Mrs. Wm. Laity last week announcing the death of her daughter, Mrs. Blanche Beckwith, who for some months had resided in Prescott, Arizona. Blanche was well known to a large circle of friends in Scales Mound, White Oak, Shullsburg and Galena.
The remains arrived Saturday morning and were taken to her old home on the farm Saturday afternoon. A large assemblage of friends gathered at the home from whence they followed the remains to the ME church at Shullsburg where had gathered a large number of friends.
Edward Rule in his sympathetic way played the organ and Mrs. Roscoe Glindinning, Mrs. Ray Edwards and Miss Minnie Stevens sang favorite selections of Blanche. Rev. Liston of Galena, who had visited the Beckwith family during the husband's sickness in that city, preached a very fitting sermon. From thence the remains were taken to the Evergreen cemetery where they were placed by the side of her husband.
Deceased was born Dec. 1, 1892, in White Oak Township where she grew to young womanhood. She was married to David D. Beckwith Jan. 2, 1912. For some six years they resided on the Beckwith farm when her husband contracted pneumonia which became complicated and the dread disease tuberculosis began its work and on Feb. 17, 1917, he passed away after all that loving hands and hearts could do for him. For a year Mrs. Beckwith with aid of relatives continued the farm work. But her health began to fail, and it wasn't long before the physicians knew she too was a victim of the disease that had taken her husband.
Different doctors were consulted, and all thought her possible chance was a trip west. June 17, 1919, she left for Prescott, Arizona, with relatives and here for a time it was thought she was recovering. But sad to say the hopes were false and tho at times she would rally yet she gradually grew weaker and thinner until on Aug. 23, 1920, she left this earthly home to meet her husband in the spirit world at the age of 27 years, 8 months and 3 days. Her father, sister, Mrs. Kevern and husband, and her three children were with her in her last moments.
The heartfelt sympathy of the entire community is extended to the sorrowing relatives. This again reminds me of Longfellow's lines, "Death reaps the flowers that grow between" and Paul's statement, "Now we see thru a glass darkly" "Then we'll see face to face" when many of these mysteries will be unfolded.
