Mr. and Mrs. Beamer lived the life of pioneers, having come here when the country was nothing but a grassy plain, with what few homes there were far between. They went through the trials and tribulations of the study and worth ones of the country and reaped the rewards of the brave. They lived in the famous sod house in the early days, cultivating the soil with a cow and horse, hauling water for miles. They were here during the Indian insurrection at Wounded Knee, never faltering to protect their home and family.
In the fall of 1881 they united with the Christian faith, with the Baptist church, and lived in that faith until the end of their lives. She was a firm believer in righteousness and Godliness.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon [April 6th] from the Methodist church, Rev. Embree officiating. Interment was made in the Gordon cemetery.
