S. D. BEACH
Simeon Downing Beach was born in Madison County, OHio 25 Dec 1838, died at Havensville, KS, 28 Aug 1913 aged 74 yrs 8 mo.
When about 11 years of age he removed with his parents from Ohio to Iowa where they resided until 1858 when they came to the neighborhood of Bucks Grove, KS. In 1861 he enlisted in the 7th KS Cavalry, Co. C and served until he was discharged for disabilty and sent home, but in a short time he reenlisted in the 11 KS Cavalry and continued in the service until the close of the war.
December 25, 1870 he was married to Miss Sarah V. Dunn of Wakefield, KS. To them 8 children were born, 5 of whom survive their father and were able to attend his funeral services. They are Charles, who resides in Kansas City, JO., Prof. Geo T., Cal., Wright, Bryant, MO., William O., Tulsa, OK., and Ruth F. Retter, Wakefield, KS. They have 18 grandchildren living. His good wife, who indeed was a helpmate, preceeded him to their heavenly home Dec. 1908.
Simeon D. Beach's father, Obil O. Beach, settled on the farm now the home of his son, Obil Beach. This home seems to have been the center of many influences that have left an indelable impress on the later developments of the country. It not only contributed to the suppression of the civil strife of the nation in the war of 60 to 65, but it also sent out its help in developing the home field and making it a fit place to live. They took the land from the wilderness, and broke the virgin sod and made it yield her increase to susain advancing civilization. They built the home of the pioneer, and from the old home sent out the children to make new homes, and plant by their firesides the environment of education and the Christian religion. In evidence of the transforming influences let us cite the fact that they, the Beaches, went out on the plains and drove in buffalo calves and tamed them as best they could and broke them to work in ox yokes and help to develop this country that we think today is in the forefront of agricultural perfection. They not only built the first homes but the first school houses too. These school houses soon became the centers of religious influences and at one of the special revival meetings held at the Cross Creek school house, known as, The Beach District, by one Rev. A.G. Channel in the fall or early winter of 1868 among others this young man, Simeon D. Beach was converted and united with the church May 1869, and in about two years seems to have taken the place of his father as Class Leader of the Cross Creek Class then composed of about sixty persons, gathered together from a wide territory. The church record says, during the summer (1878) a subscription was started and promptly responded to for the erection of a church at Bucks Grove. The site was selected in a lot in Bucks Grove cemetery and Simeon D. Beach, Henry Kroth and Henry Shove were elected as the building committee to build the new church.
These are some of the material monuments that have been erected to the memory of our brother whose death has caused a wave of sorrow to pass over this entire community. His was a noble Christian character, quiet and unassumning, modest almost to a fault, yet firm as the rocks that prop the eternal hills. He believed in God, and loved his Savior, Jesus Christ, loved the Church of his choice, and was happy in its communion and all of its associations, he loved the children of God, and to meet with them in religious services was his great delight. His spirtiual sky was unclouded, his experience was clear and bright.
His funeral services were held in the Bucks Grove church that he helped to build, on Sunday, 31 Aug 1913, and was attended by a large congregation of people.....After the ceremonies we laid him just back of the church in a grave beside his faithful companion to await the summons at the judgment day.....
