"Somewhere East of the entrance road I think where some of the Beebe family are buried, is the grave of Winnie Beebe Thompson {see note a.} and her sister Clarabelle Beebe (don't know her married name)." {[sic] was Stella, not Clarabelle}

Notes:
a. Winnie Beebe-Thompson, born April 11, 1882-died July 4, 1908; there were 4 children born, 2 died in infancy, Ivan Thompson (now deceased) and John Thompson of near Macomb. Her father was John Beebe and her mother's name was Jessie."
b. Clarabelle Beebe {see note c.} was buried hurriedly at night. She was a victim of the Spanish flu 1918-1919 and had been dead some days when found by neighbors; her husband was raging with fever and knew nothing of what had happened. Whether he survived, --I do not know. Son Phillips told me the general location of the grave and that they hung lanterns in the evergreen tree near and opened-the grave by their light and buried her as soon as the grave was ready. Those years were terrible, war, pestilence and food shortages as the Bible prophesied. Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.
c. This refers to Stella Beebe Umphryes (12 May 1884-17 Jan 1917); Clarabelle was unmarried.
