Mrs W. Beye Dies, Long Prominent in Village Affairs
Death came to Mrs. Nellie C. Beye on Friday evening, June 13, at the home of daughter, Mrs. Gurdon H. Hamilton, 716 North East avenue. Mrs. Beye had celebrated her 91st birthday on January 30 of this year.
Coming here more than 60 years ago when Oak Park was truly a village, Nellie C. Beye and William Beye, for whom one of the village grade schools was named, established their home and, as the years passed, took an active interest in Oak Park affairs.
Mrs. Beye was one of the founders of the Nineteenth Century Woman's club, a member of the board of education at one time and served several terms as president of the Day Nursery Board. Unity Universalist church was her church home.
"Her family and friends hold in loving memory the inspiration of a long life of always widening interests," one said this week.
Mrs. Beye was the widow of the late William Beye, and mother of Mrs. James L. Fyfe, 316 South Euclid, Mrs. Charles H. Hurlbut, 629 Belleforte, Cudworth Beye of Litchfield, Conn., Elizabeth Beye, Mrs. Gurdon H. Hamilton and Mrs. Harwood E. S. Smeeth of 729 North Elmwood. She was preceded in death by three sons, William Jr., Howard L. and Dr. Lawrence L. Beye.
Services on Monday morning took place at Unity church and interment was at Forest Home.
