Michael was the son of William Roberts Beveridge and Margaret Whitmore. His father died about the time he was born. He was raised by his grand-father, Michael W. Whitmore Sr. in Loudoun County. Later Michael went into business in Washington, D.C. His younger half-brother, Thadeus Camel Dulin joined him when he came of age and they became very prominent retailers.
The Washington Star gives the following account of his death:
M.W. Beveridge died suddenly at his home, 1618 H Street Northwest at an early hour yesterday morning. The announcement of his death was a great shock to his numerous friends. The members of his own family did not consider death as at all imminent. He was looked upon as a man in good health.
Last week he contracted a cold, and remained at home. He was out Wednesday, however, when he attended a bank meeting. He then stayed in the house, only going out to visit the doctor's office, which was a short distance away. Saturday evening he seemed to be in his usual state of health. He had a cough, but it did not seem to be serious. He made arrangements to attend church services at Epiphany Church, as he was accustomed to do Sunday mornings and then retired at an early hour. About half-past 3 o'clock his wife was awakened by Mr. Beveridge coughing violently and in one of the paroxysms a blood vessel was ruptured and in a little more than an hour he was dead.
The following is a transcription of another obituary:
Mr. Beveridge was born and raised in Loudoun. Blessed with a fine mind and an energy and industry which overcome all obstacles, he won success and died one of the wealthy, honored and leading business men of Washington City. He was a man of the highest character as shown by the confidence reposed in him by the official positions he held in many of the prominent business corporations of his adopted city.
He was a nephew of Mr. John H. Whitmore, a prominent citizen of this county and a half-brother of Mr. George C. Dulin, of this county and held the highest esteem of our people.
