In Memoriam
Mell Beach, aged 23 years, 4 months, and 28 days. Death is seldom a welcome guest, not even though it comes in the winter of life; when man’s active labor is over, he calmly waits the summons to the great hereafter. Seldom is man so much alone in the world, that none are left to sorrow.
But when it comes and snatches away from earth, while yet in the bright summer tide of life; in the first warm finish of manhood, the fondest hopes of parents, the staff upon which they had hoped to lean in their declining years; the idol of a devoted wife; and one of the brightest ornaments, from a circle of loving friends; -- Then it seems thrice unwelcome. Then we wonder why man is called upon the bear such a burden of grief. No eulogy is needed upon the life of the one who has gone from among us. His life speaks for itself; of a high moral tone and such as to command the respect and esteem of all who knew him.
When but a mere lad he became book-keeper for his father’s business here. Shortly after attaining his majority, he was given a third interest in the Beach, Bishop Manufacturing Company in Wausaukee, of which he was elected secretary. He exhibited a great aptitude for business for one so young; and seldom does death claim a victim who so nearly approaches a father’s ideal.
He was a great favorite among the young people. Though for two and a half years he had been unable to mingle in their enjoyments, he still held a warm place in their affections. They story of his sickness is a sad one, and covers most of the time for the past two and a half years. It has been an almost continual battle of all that the love of a wife and father could desire and all the best medical and surgical skill could perform, backed by a most remarkable will power on his part, against the dread destroyer – disease.
On December 21, he left for Jacksonville, Florida, accompanied by Dr. McBride, hoping to be benefited by the climate. He was very low when he left here. One or two hopeful letters came back. Then the telegram to the wife, “Come”. But it was too late for her to reach him alive. He had expired a few hours previous to her arrival (Jan. 4) and just two weeks after he had left so full of hope, though so weak as to be scarcely able to walk across a room.
His remains were interred in the village cemetery last Friday and the largest concourse of people ever seen at a funeral here followed the body to its last resting place.
