The Border Times, Weston, Mo. 1-22-1869:
MARRIED.
In this City, on Tuesday Evening, Jan. 19th, 1869, at the Residence of Major Jas. L. McClure, by Elder Oliver Steel, Dr. THOMAS BEAUMONT to Mrs. AMANDA QUEEN.
We acknowledge the receipt, accompanying the above notice, of an exccellent cake,--to which we did ample justice--and two bottles of "Platte County Catawba," which, while we did not as a sworn teetotaler dare to taste, even for the stomach's sake", nevertheless sent back to us "greeting," a report for those who did "partake," which does equal justice to the vines of "Old Platte" and to Mr. D____ as a skillful manufacturer.
The newly wedded couple will please accept the Printer's best wishes. May a kind Providence grant them an extended lease of life, replete with true happiness. May they realize that "Love" never grows old, but will ever cast a halo of light upon the pathway of its true voteries, for though
"Some passing cloud may shade the mind,
It can not reach the heart;"
and when it is gone, the genial warmth of true affection soon effaces the faint impress of its momentary gloom.
At the age of eight years Dr. Thomas Beaumont emigrated, with his father to the United States and settled in New Lisbon, Ohio, where he remained until early manhood. Developing at this time that predilection for the medical profession, in the pursuit of which he afterwards became so eminent, he was entered as a student at the Medical College at Philadelphia and in due time, he graduated with honors.
Shortly afterwards, he left Ohio for the south to seek his fortune with that warmhearted and generous people, making his home at East Faliciana, Louisiana. Here he remained in the arduous pursuit of his profession until 1849, achieving both professional eminence and competence.
He then, from consideration of health, resolved to abandon his home in Louisiana and, attracted by the fame of the Platte Purchase, moved to it and cast his lot with the people of this County and became fully identified with all its varied interests. Adding to the graces of high professional and literary culture, the more solid attainments of commerce and finance, he was induced to become the President of the old branch of the Mechanic's Bank at Weston, and remained for years connected with the management of the monied institutions of the county; establishing a reputation for probity and honorable dealing unexpected by any. Dr. Beaumont was a warm, earnest friend of education. The institution at Pleasant Ridge and at Camden Point in this County, are monuments of his zeal in this behalf.
Sprinkled all over with the dews of Christian charity, he never turned a deaf ear to the orphan's appeal, however still it be, and in recognition of this noble trait in his character, he was made President of the Female Orphan School of the Christian Church of Missouri, located at Camden Point in this County, and was its chief officer at his death.
The Beaumont family were pro-southern during the War Between the States. Dr. Beaumont's oldest son, Godfrey N. Beaumont (1834-1905) was a surgeon in the Confederate army. The good doctor and his wife actually honored the Supreme Court Justice who handed down the Dred Scott decision by naming one of their sons Taney Justice Beaumont. Another bore the name Robert Lee Beaumont.
Though there is no record of it, it seems a certainty that Dr. Beaumont was a slaveholder in Platte County, Missouri. Hemp farmers generally used slave labor and there were insufficient hands in his own family to raise the hemp crop of 1863 without slaves or hired hands. Dr. Beaumont references "midnight rangers" in his letter. He is referring to the "Redlegs" or Jawhawkers who came over into Missouri from Kansas and tried to burn out Missourians who supported the Confederacy and to liberate their slaves. To retaliate for these atrocities, William Quantrill would lead his own raid into Kansas in August 1863 and burn the town of Lawrence while killing some 200 of its citizens.
