BEACH - At Wright's Corners, February 9, 1872, Charles A. Beach, aged 45 years.
The deceased was born in Lockport, December 20, 1826. About the year 1845 or 1846 he went into the office of Morse & Burrell as a law student. After the death of Mr. Morse he was some time in the law office of C. R. Parker and M. L. Burrell, also a short time in the offices of John T. Murray and the late Judge Dayton. Just before completing his studies, great excitement prevailed here in regard to the gold fields of California. Mr. Beach having a near relative already there, was induced to leave his native land, and in July 1850, sailed for San Francisco. Not succeeding according to his wishes, in 1852 he shipped for the distant land of Australia. After wandering under the scorching sun of that climate, enduring many hardships and privations, for ten years, sometimes successful, but more often misfortunate, and loss attended his efforts, and after a trip to New Zealand, he, in November, 1861, sailed for London, England. He arrived there in March, 1862, after a voyage of one hundred and twelve days, which gave him time to add to the manuscripts and poems he had written in Australia. In London he became acquainted with authors and publishers and continued writing seven years for the journals of that city. (Note: Mr. Beach married in London.) He wrote for several periodicals, including the Boy's Magazine, Young England, Daily Art Magazine, Leisure Hours, and fifteen volumes placed in the National Library in the British Museum, where they can be seen for ages to come. In August, 1869, after an absence of nineteen years, he returned to his native land, with health somewhat impaired, but so devote to his pen that he engaged to write for Mr. Monroe of New York. With much difficulty he finished a manuscript, which was the last work of his pen. He leaves a wife and two small children, a father, Mr. Moses Beach, a mother, one brother, Mr. Sherman Beach, and many near relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
