Death had removed from Lincoln an old settler, Mrs. Jane Beach, aged ninety-one years, five months and ten days. She was the mother of Thomas, William, Chambers and A.B. Beach, all of this city.
Mrs. Beach was born June 28, 1808, in Brook county, West Virginia. She emigrated to Brown county, Ohio, in 1818, was married to Eilas B. Beach of Adams county, Ohio, April 28, 1836, and settled in Riply county, Ohio. Six children came to bless this union, four boys and two girls. In 1854, the family moved to Montgomery county, Indiana, in 185? to Crawford county, Illinois, in 186? to Olney, Ill., and in 1872 to Lincoln, Nebraska.
Eilas B. Beach died in Lawrence county, Illinois, at the age of fifty-seven. In 1863, at the time of his death, three of his sons were in the army. His great desire in life was the liberation of the slave. He was one of the prime movers in the "underground railroad." Many a slave from Kentucky has been concealed in cellars and barns and aided by Mrs. Beach to escape. One of these slaves lived in Lincoln for many years. His name is familiar to many of the Lincoln people, Henry Marshal, whose wife still lives here.
Mrs. Beach united with the Presbyterian church when a mere child and for seventy-five years was an earnest worker in the church. She was always ready and willing to give a helping hand to those in trouble and in sickness. Mrs. Beach was a strong and healthy woman until a few years ago when her hip was injured by a severe fall She never recovered sufficiently to walk.
Despite her old age she retained all of her mental faculties up to the time of her death. It was her great pleasure to read the Bible each day and thank the Lord for His kindness to her. She said she was ready to die and had no fears or doubts as to the future.
Her youngest daughter, Lizzie, died in Lawrenceville, Ill., at the age of fifteen years. The older daughter, Mary, was the wife of James Gilmore of this city. She died in 1879. The sons will have charge of their mother's funeral and will act as pall-bearers, at the dying request of their mother.
The funeral will be held at 2:30 this afternoon at the home of Thomas Beach, at 557 North Sixteenth street, the services to be conducted by the Rev. W.M. Hindman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of which denomination she was a life-long member.
This death has taken a loving mother, a noble woman and a friend to all. She was ready and willing to sacrifice anything for her friends. She was a devoted mother to her children and a true Christian.
