Beeman, Lemuel born Jan. 18, 1758 died Aug. 18, 1830 Rev. War
1836 newspaper article transcribed by Gwen Boyer Bjorkman:
Distressing Accident. On Thursday the 18th of August, as Lemuel Beman aged 77 years (a Revolutionary pensioner) the wife and infant daughter of Mr. Harley Beman, and a son of Mr. Riley Cogswell, aged 10, were crossing the pond in Warren, in a boat, near Mr. Cogswell's the boat upset, and all except Mrs. Beman were drowned. The bodies were not found until next day.
Mrs. Beman was partially buoyed up by her clothes until assistance reached her from the shore, though when taken from the water life was nearly extinct. The boat, we learn, belonged to Mr. Cogswell, and the lad got into it for the purpose of rowing it across the pond for Mr. and Mrs. Beman to
visit a connexion, when it is supposed they all got upon one side and upset it.
