MONROE TIMES, JOHN BEACH, AGED 92, DIED; RESIDENT HERE FOR 70 YEARS
John Beach, a resident of Green county for nearly seventy years, passed away this morning April 16, 1918, at his home on North Clinton street. About two weeks ago he suffered a paralytic stroke and death ended a long and useful life at 4 o'clock this morning. He had been unusually well the past winter for one nearly 92 years of age, but following the stroke, he had been unconscious, and death was not wholly unexpected.
He was born in Pinchback St. Bars, Lincolnshire, England, on May 20, 1826 and was the son of George and Francis J. Beach. When 24 years of age, he emigrated to America, the trip requiring twelve weeks. He landed in New York in 1852, where he spent a few months after which he went to Ohio. Following a year's stay there, he moved to Green county, where he made his home on a farm in Jordan township.
He had 45 Great Grandchildren.
He was married in Lincolnshire, England, on Aug 19, 1845 to Susan Martin. Eight children were born to them, four of whom survive him. They are Joseph Beach of Sioux City, IA, Robert Beach of Killbourn, William Beach and Mrs. Jesse Trickle, of this city. He leaves thirty-one grand children, forty-five great grand children. Twenty-four years ago he married Mrs. Margaret J. Sanders of Orangeville, who also survives him. He also leaves an aged sister in England.
He was active up until recently.
The deceased was a man who was well known throughout the county. Until recently he was able to be up and around and meet old friends. He was active and had the use of all his faculties until about two weeks ago. He was an industrious, hard working man. When he came to this country, like all early settlers, he had very little to start on but through his diligence and labor, he was soon the owner of considerable farm land, and in 1882 retired, moving to this city. Mr. Beach was very fond of his native country and had made two trips back to visit relatives.
Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 1:30 at the home and at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church, of which he had long been a member. Rev. W. H. Penn will officiate. Burial will be made in Greenwood.
