The Lakeside Press of last Friday had the following in relation to the death of a Cleveland resident well know in this town and vicinity. Mr. Beach was brother-in-law of Mrs. J. H. Orr of Camden.
The entire community was was greatly shocked when the intelligence came Tuesday that Eaton Beach had dropped dead while working in the field.
While his health has not been as good as usual for several months past, yet no one, except perhaps his physician and members of his family had realized it. During the forenoon while working in the back wheat field with his son Arthur, he complained of not feeling well, but kept at work until noon. He ate dinner as usual, returning to work soon after, and at about four o'clock he went to a part of the field some distance from his son.
Arthur continued at his work for some time, but finally noticing some thing was wrong, crossed the field and found his father lying beside the reaper. Life was extinct.
As the farm is in Oneida county, Coroner Hubbard was notified and came the next morning, but did not deem an autopsy necessary as death was caused by paralysis of the heart.
Alexander Hamilton Eaton Beach, son of the late John Beach an early settler in this vicinity, was born and spent his entire life of 55 years upon the farm upon which he was working at the time of his death.
At Cortland, N.Y., on July 21, 1888 he was married to Elizabeth Tufts, who, with four children and two sisters, survive. The children are John Arthur, Mabel Beers, Mary Elizabeth and Ella May, aged respectively 16, 14, 12 and 9 years. His sisters are Mrs. John Arthur of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Miss Mary Beach of Oneida.
Funeral services will be held this afternoon at two o'clock from St. James Church, of which he has for some years held the office of Junior Warden, the rector, Rev. Thomas Stafford, officiating. Burial in the family plot in the village cemetery.
Mr. Bench was an honest, industrious man, kind and indulgent as husband and father and staunch as a friend. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community.
