Obituary – Died February 22, 1909, at the home of her son, Geo. S. Beach, Mrs. L. C. Beach, whose maiden name was Lavantia C. [hristina] Harding. Born in West Winfield, Herkimer County, New York, January 15, 1827, Mrs. Beach was descended from a long line of English ancestry, the family being transplanted to America by Nathan Harding, her great great grandfather, who landed at Cape Cod in 1640.
Mrs. Beach was married to Samuel Spencer Beach in 1852 in New York. She with her husband moved to Monmouth, Illinois in 1853, where her husband died in 1854. After his death she remained in Monmouth about six months when she returned to New York where she lived with her parents, taking care of them in their old age until their death. She then returned to Monmouth, living there for several years and spent three years in California with her sister, Mrs. Moss. She then returned to Illinois and from there moved to Lenox, Iowa, where she has made her home, with the exception of the last six years, during which time she has lived with her son, G. [eorge] S. [pencer] Beach.
The funeral services of Mrs. Beach were held in the Methodist church, Lenox, Iowa, at 2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, February 24th, conducted by Rev. A. L. Davidson. There were present many of the friends and relatives who had known and admired the many good qualities and virtues of the deceased.
A large beautiful floral pillow with the word “Grandma” was placed on the casket as a token of love from the grandchildren, with other testimonies of love and esteem. The services began by singing Rock of Ages by the choir. Rev. Felsher led in prayer and then a solo, “Face to Face,” was sang by Mrs. C. Ethington.
Rev. Davidson took his text from Amos 4:12 and paid a touching tribute to her memory as a mother. The songs, “Gathering Home One by One,” and Lead Kindly Light,” were sang, after which the remains were interred in the Lenox cemetery by the side of her sister, Mrs. E. Moss, who died October 13, 1899.
Clifford S. Beach, of I. S. C., Ames, grandson; Mrs. A. W. Harding and Charles Harding, of Des Moines, niece and nephew of the deceased, came in answer to a telegram.
Mrs. Beach leaves one son, Geo. S. [pencer] Beach of Grove Township, and six grandchildren, Geo. Harding Beach, Nelle L. Beach, Edna M. Holbrook, Effie J. Jacoby, Luella E. Cottrell and Clifford S. [pencer] Beach, and eight great grandchildren and a host of friends who revere her memory.
