The TALES you probably never heard about

MARTHA BEAMER

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 11 January 1921]

Many friends will regret to learn that Mrs. B.J. McCormick has been bereaved in the death of her mother, Mrs. Martha Beamer, who passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Burt D. Cady in Port Huron, on Wednesday evening after a short illness.

Mrs. Beamer was 79 years of age and had been comparatively well until New Year’s Day when she was taken with an attack of heart failure and had been partially unconscious until her death.

She was born in Almont and later, after her marriage to the late Robert Beamer, made her home in Lapeer. Ten years ago she went to Port Huron to live with her daughter, and had many warm friends in that city. Three daughters survive, Mrs. Cady, Mrs. Kirk Clark of Dayton, O., and Mrs. McCormick, all of them being called to the city by their mother’s illness. A son, Clarence Beamer lives in Detroit.

Funeral services were held from Mr. Cady’s residence Saturday morning at 10.30 o’clock and burial took place at Lapeer on Saturday afternoon.
