Daughter of Francis & Mary (Curl) Beall.
Olive Frances Beall was born in Jubilee Township, Peoria County, Ill., Aug. 23, 1880, died at Princeville, Ill., Dec. 1, 1897, aged 17 years, 3 months, 9 days. Her parents moved to Princeville in December 1890. Olive had enjoyed the advantages of the district school and at once entered the public school here. She was only beginning her second year in the high school work when she was so suddenly called to the Saviour’s School above.
She gave her heart to God in the winter of 1894 and since that time has been a faithful member of the M. E. Church. She was especially interested in the work of the Junior League, being its secretary at the time of her death. She was always in her place there when possible, and a great help to those who had charge of that work. The last day before she took to her bed was spent in the preparation of her League and Sabbath School, her teacher there bearing testimony to her worth of character.
In her home, Ollie was ever sunshiny and gentle, willingly doing her part in carrying forward the work of the home. In school she was a great favorite with both teachers and pupils, faithful in the preparation of her lessons and from the way in which she was improving her time, gave promise of a very useful life. The testimony of her teachers is gladly given to her gentle and ladylike character in all her relations to the school.
Her illness was brief but very severe. All that good nursing and medical skill could do was done but the disease – typhoid pneumonia – hastened to do its fell work. Our young sister went to live with God Wednesday, Dec. 1, at twenty minutes past twelve. She leaves behind her here her father and mother, two sisters and three brothers to feel her loss. One sister preceded her to the land of endless day. Besides the dear ones of the home circle, a host of more distant relatives and friends sorrow today because she has left them and yet we all know that our loss is her gain. She lives with Christ. Hers is the bliss of the redeemed in glory, and the consolation which Jesus imparts to the sorrowing ones is indeed a rift in the clouds. While they cannot bring her back to them, they shall surely go to her. May this be another tie to bind the affections of these dear ones to heaven.
The funeral services were held at the M. E. Church on Friday at one o’clock. One of the largest congregations that ever filled the church was present. A large part of the center of the church was occupied by the teachers and pupils of the public school. Rev. R.B. Seaman had charge of the services and delivered the sermon. He was assisted by the pastor, Rev. J.E. Connor, and Rev. J.F. Bliss. The pallbearers were as follows: George Hitchcock, Willis Hoag, Harry Fast, Walter Fast, Thomas Byrnes and Luther Searl, Jr.
