DEATH OF A PIONEER
Of the Town of Woodville
Died – Thursday morning, December 28, 1899, at Three o’clock, at the home of his brother, Emerie Beach of Dundas, Samuel C. Beach, aged 66 years.
Mr. Beach was born at Sparta, N.J., November 14, 1833 and came west in 1849 settling on the homestead where he died.
There were but few of the early settlers of this vicinity that were not acquainted with the old Beach homestead—a place proverbial for its hospitality and good cheer. It was seldom that the household was without a guest and Sam Beach was ever the central figure in entertaining and making those about him happy. His acquaintance was wide and his friends many, his good-natured and unselfish ways drawing people to him and retaining then in manner that few could imitate. His life was a succession of noble deeds and charitable acts and the world was greatly the better for his having lived in it.
Mr. Beach had been ailing for over two years, but was able to be about until two weeks ago when he was obliged to take to his bed, failing rapidly until the end came.
The funeral occurred from the home of his brother, Emrie Beach on Saturday, Rev. Isaac Tracy, of Kaukauna, conducting the services and the remains were interred in the Lutheran cemetery near his home, where his parents were buried many years ago.
