Eulogy for Beatrice Kellar McCasland:
Friends and relatives of Beatrice McCasland,
We are gathered here today to remember and honor Beatrice Kellar McCalsand and to review her mortal life.
Beatrice Kellar was born July 21, 1906 in Springfield, Arkansas to William Fredrick Kellar and Hatti Caroline Autrey. She had six brothers and sisters. They are Basil, Lester, Cletice, Othel Dale, Woodrow and Sylvan. Beatrice was the fourth of the seven children, She is now survived by her two brothers, Othel and Sylvan.
Quoting from her personal history: "Most of my school days were spent at Cedar Creek School House (in Conway County, Arkansas). It was a one room school house with one teacher teaching all 8 grades. I had a girl friend in this school, her name was Maudie. She was a little younger than I when I was going to school at Cedar Creek. Our teacher was tall, black-haired, black eyed, and an old maid named Lula. She told us to stay at our seats but my girl friend wanted me to come and help her with her arithmetic, so I did and our teacher cut those big black eyes around at me. When I went back to my seat, I wrote Maudie a note and said did you see Lula's eyes. They look like two fried eggs in a slop bucket and she got a hold of the note and read it to the class."
Beatrice also wrote of another growing up experience. "My chores at home were helping with baby brother or milking our cows. We had a cow killed by lightening that had a calf three weeks old. I raised the calf myself by putting some feed that we called shorts in water and made it so the calf could drink it like a soup.
"Eventually my father gave me the calf. She was a cow when I got married."
Beatrice Kellar married James H. McCasland on November 12, 1929 in Springfield, Arkansas. They had eight children: Mary, Maudie, Reba, Jerry, Patricia, Richard, Carl and Sandra; James was a widower with five children: Evelyn, Everett, Ruby, Mae Ruth and James Truman.
In addition to her brothers and children, Beatrice is also survived by 36 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
During her lifetime, Beatrice McCasland was known for having special treats for children. Her grandchildren remember special dishes like chicken and dumplings, corn bread, banana pudding, and watermelon. She was a Bible scholar. She was a forthright person who said what she thought. Her hobbies included sewing and cooking. As you can see, she had a sense of humor which touched all that she did.
Her closing statement in her personal history is significant as this time. She wrote, "One event that changed my life was when I was converted to the LDS Church which presented a whole new way of life for me. I don't know how I got along without the church."
