Bedford, PA 'Bedford Gazette' issue of Friday, 6 April 1900, p. 1, col. 1
Mrs. Elizabeth Beegle, wife of Joseph F. Beegle, of Friend's Cove, died on April 1, 1900, aged seventy-eight years, two months and twenty-one days. The maiden name of the deceased was Elizabeth Frantz. She was born in Garrett county, Md., on January 10, 1822. She is survived by two brothers and two sisters--Jonathan Frantz, of Braddock; William Frantz, of Smithfield; Mrs. Harry Speiker, of Confluence, and Mrs. Austin Speiker, of Accident, Md. In the year 1839 she was united in marriage to Joseph F. Beegle, who also survives her, and is now in his eighty-ninth year. After their marriage, like thoughtful and prudent persons, they realized the great and responsible duties of the marriage relation and their inability to perform those duties without divine grace and help, so in the following year--1840--they both joined the Evangelical Lutheran church. Mrs. Beegle has been a most devoted member for sixty years. Her religion was not of the demonstrative or spasmodic kind, but of the New Testament type, which manifested itself in a faithful use of the means of grace and in daily discharge of Christian duty in the home, in the community and in the church. She had the great satisfaction and consolation of seeing all her children unite with the church, also all of her grandchildren of mature age. Four daughters and two sons survive her, namely, Mrs. Andrew Biddle, of Koontzville; Mrs. Valentine Reighard, of Pleasant Valley; Mrs. Frank Brightbill, of Bedford; Mrs. Thomas F. Smouse, of Cumberland, Md.; Frederick, of Bedford township, and Francis, on the home place in Friend's Cove. Twenty-four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren also mourn her departure.
