EMERY BEACH
HE ANSWERS THE LAST ROLL CALL
Many people throughout Calumet County will learn with deep regret that Veteran Emery Beach, one of the Pioneers of the town of Woodville and member of the gallant Twenty-Fist regiment had passed to his reward. Mr. Beach had a wide acquaintance and those who knew him held him in high respect. The Kaukauna Times of Aug. 23rd contained the following obituary:
Emery Beach, one of the earliest settlers in this vicinity, died at his home in the town of Woodville on the old military road, the first historic mail route built in 1832 and '33 from Fond du Lac to Green Bay.
Mr. Beach came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elias Beach from New Jersey in 1849 and settled on a large section of land on this old postroad and built his home in what was then in the midst of a dense wilderness. This site at once became prominent as the principal rail station on the through route from Fond du Lac to Green Bay, and the pioneer, Elias Beach, who died in the early ‘80s built a larger house to be used as a tavern where he found it necessary to give many lodgings and the mail teams were also changed at his caravansary which became a great social center for all the surrounding country.
This old first home of the Beach family was destroyed by fire twenty years ago to the deep regret of the family and all the surrounding region, as but few had missed being entertained at this hospitable home which for two generations had born that reputation to a remarkable degree.
Emery Beach was born September 8, 1841, at Sparta, N.J., and came at the age of eight years to Wisconsin in the second year of her statehood. For the first two years he lived with an uncle at Green Bay attending school and since that period had spent his life on the farm with the exception of the time he was in the Civil War. His death was in the brick house built by his bachelor brother, Samuel Beach, forty years ago just across the road and now the residence of his son, Harry. The land on both sides of the road yet remains in the possession of the Beach family, one of the rich farmsteads of this locality.
Mr. Beach married Dec. 20, 1870, Miss Bertha Yager of Chilton, who died 22 years ago in 1896 and was buried in the Beach family lot at St. John's Church on a corner of the Beach homestead farm.
Emery Beach was a veteran of the Civil war and served his country in the 1st Wisconsin Regiment, Co. E, and was honorably discharged at the close of the war in 1865. He was also a member of Paul H. Beaulieu Post No. 247, GAR and from the first year of its existence, and up to three years ago always joined his comrades on Memorial Day.
Three years ago his health began to fail and the last two weeks of his life he became partially deranged and filed to recognize his friends and members of his family. During his last days of illness he was cared for by his sons, Ross and Harry and his daughters, Mrs. Helen Aylwardt and Mrs. Harry Beach.
Surviving are his children and one sister living out of nine of the Beach children born to Mr. and Mrs. Elias Beach. They are Katherine Sweetman of Menahga, Minn., Miss Margaret King, Minneapolis, Minn., Frank Beach of Sellersville, Pa., Harry Beach at home, Mrs. Edith Scott of Los Angeles, Cal., Mrs. Helen Albers and Ross Beach at home, Mrs. Grace Prince of St. Louis, also a sister, Mrs. Mark Kellogg of Los Angeles, Calif.
The funeral services will be held from the late home, by Rev. F. L. Hayward of Brokaw Memorial church and at the grave the GAR ritual services will be given by Commander Chamberlain and Past Commander, James Conway acting as chaplain. The interment will be made at the side of his parents, his wife, a brother and an uncle in the family lot at St. John's Ev. Lutheran Cemetery in Woodville.
