Henry Paul BECCARD; b. 09 Aug 1879, St. Louis, MO; lived with his parents at 2007 Kosciusko St., St. Louis and worked as a porter in a store in Jun 1900; 1m. Anna A. (WENDEL?) Mar-Apr 1907, prob. St. Louis (she b. ca. 1882, MO of German parents;) they lived as lodgers at 318 Market St. in Apr 1910, at which time he was a clerk in a grocery store, and at 3145 (poss. 3141) Washington St., St. Louis in Sep 1918, at which time he was a bartender, working for F. Seitz at 1000 Market St. In middle age, Paul was tall and slim with brown hair and eyes. We have been unable to locate Paul in the 1920 federal census, but we believe Annie was living without him in the home of her married brother and his family at 1533 Willston Pl., Central Twp., St. Louis Co., MO. On 13 Jul 1922 Paul applied for a marriage license in Jefferson Co., MO, with his intended (second) wife, Mary C. ZIMMER (she b. 10 Jan 1886 or 1887.) In 1930 Paul and Mary lived in rented rooms at 3045 Easton Ave., St. Louis with Paul's 20-year-old son, Harold. Four other adults shared the dwelling as roomers: a middle-aged couple, a 40-year-old carpenter, and an unemployed woman named Dottie Freeze. Paul worked as a department store salesman at the time. Paul and Mary moved to Kirkwood, St. Louis Co., MO in the 1930s and ran a tavern together at 1744 W Big Bend Rd. (now Old Big Bend Rd.) until 1946. Paul d. 28 Sep 1946, Kirkwood, and is buried in Flower Oak Hill Cemetery, Kirkwood. Mary continued to operate the tavern after Paul's death, at least until 1949, but we do not know for how long. Mary d. 26 Dec 1974, Miami, Dade Co., FL.
