After an illness of only a few days Mrs. S. L. Beebe passed away on Saturday afternoon. She had been in a somewhat enfeebled condition for several months past and the end was therefore not unexpected.

All the children were able to be at the funeral except the sons in Chicago and Colorado.
The funeral service was held at the family residence on Monday afternoon. Rev. C. J. Dobson officiated and was assisted by Rev. J. E. Fenning of Grace Church. Interment took place in St. Andrew's Cemetery.
