DEATH COMES TO GEORGE M. BEACH
Was Resident Here in the '70's, and Body is Brought to Pawnee City for Burial. Death was Due to Broken Hip.
George Melvin Beach, who recently broke his hip while visiting in Pawnee City died in Lincoln, June 25th, being unable to rally from the accident. At the time of his death, he was 81 years of age. He was a veteran of the Civil War and came to Pawnee county in 1870.
George M. Beach was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, January 12, 1844 and died in Lincoln, Nebr., June 25th, 1925. His parents moved to Lee county, Iowa, when he was 3 years of age and he resided there until he enlisted in the Fourth Iowa, Independent Battery, Light Artillery in August 1863. His army service was mostly in the front, guarding New Orleans, at which place he was acting officer of the day at the celebration of Lee's surrender and turned to his Iowa home where he resumed his work on the farm and also taught school.
He came to Pawnee county, Nebraska, in 1870 and in 1871, was married to Alice Gilkerson. To them, four children, now living, were born: Fred C., of Eagle, Nebr.; Roland G., of Medford, Oregon; Emma G. Brooks, of Allentown, Pa.; and Effie B. Pratt, who was with him during his last illness and death.
His ancestry includes many names prominent in the early Colonial and Revolutionary history and he reared his family with deep reverence for its ideals and institutions.
He moved to Cass county, Nebraska, in 1877 and to Lincoln in 1900. At the latter place he made his home up to the time of the death of his wife, two years ago. After her death, he returned to Allentown, Pa., and only returned to Nebraska a few days before the accident, which hastened his death. Although he suffered intensely during the weeks following the accident he was constantly cheered by the calls and sympathy of his friends and in his conscious moments, he continually expressed his appreciation.
He was a member of the Vine Street Congregational church and Farragut Post of the G. A. R. from the time that he moved to Lincoln, until his death.
His funeral was held in Lincoln in charge of Reverend Harmon Bross, a life long family friend. The G. A. R. assisted with the services. Interment was in the Pawnee cemetery, after a short service at the grave, in charge of Reverend G. H. Main, also an old family friend. The body was laid to rest beside his wife and many relatives of the family.
Those who attended the funeral from a distance were: Mrs. Roland G. Beach, of Medford, Oregon; Fred c. Beach, Mrs. Mildred Beach-Spahne and husband, Melvin Beach, all of Eagle, and Mrs. Effie B. Pratt, of Elgin, Nebraska, and Mr. Henry Gilkerson, of Vesta, Nebraska.
