Son of Theoakley & Minnie Beamer; Spouse of Vera Clodfelter
MERRITT BEAMER
Merritt Beamer, who lives in the Cyrus community north of Ransom was killed in a tractor accident last Friday afternoon. Details probably will never be known as Joe Lyon found the tractor traveling up a highway ditch dragging Mr. Beamer’s body in the third plow on a three-plow outfit. He was dead when found and his body was rather badly mangled.
