Timothy BEEBE
August 28, 1903
Clinton Register
Dead Near Hallsville
Timothy BEEBE, who had been an inmate at the DeWitt county poor farm for about 25 years, escaped early Monday morning. Search was at once made for him, but he was not found until the next morning when his body was found in a field about two miles east of Hallsville where he had died. He had been at the farm so long that he was known to hundreds in the county. His mind was affected and when first taken to the farm a ball was chained to his leg to prevent him from leaving, but of late years this was not necessary as he seldom left. Supt. Foster is not to blame for his death. He was about 75 years old, and recently his health had been failing. The coroner's inquest verdict was that his death was due to general debility and prostration. He was buried in the poor farm burying ground.

Note: The 1900 census says he was born in 1830 in Ohio.
