Gould Beech…a brilliant journalist and advocate for civil rights and the voting rights for black Southerners died early Sunday, November 5, 2000 at Mercy Medical in Daphne, Alabama of complications from Parkinson’s Disease at the age of 87. He joined his wife, Mary (Foster) Beech who died on July 10, 2000 at the age of 86.
He had moved from Alabama to Texas in 1950 because his political speeches and writings on the problems in the South’s race relations got little support and left him vexed. His father openly opposed the Ku Klux Klan and that may have been a big influence on Beech’s ideas. Gould and Mary came back and lived in the Magnolia Springs area in Baldwin County during the early 1970.
