BEECHAM FOR 26 YEARS EVERETT RESIDENT, CALLED Death Takes Widely-Known Court Balliff; Was 83 Year of Age Funeral Service Set For Tuesday, 3 p.m. Capt. R.K. Beecham, one of the best known residents of Everett died Sunday morning at the family home, 2624 Rucker Ave. For 26 years he had resided in the city, and during that period he had seen the wilderness conquered and the town-site developed into the community of today. Always devoted to the ideals of civic advancement he conceived as essential to the city's welfare, Capt. Beecham consistently and insistently presented them at every opportunity. One of his greatest ambitions was to assist in bringing about a supply of mountain water for Everett, and during the years this matter was agitated prior to the determination of this issue by the decision of the electorate to construct the Sultan river pipeline the citizen now deceased was a leader in keeping the project before the public mind. In this and in other project with which he was identified as a leader, Capt Beecham as an advocate of forward steps became most widely known to the people of Everett, while his long service as a bailiff in the superior court enlarged his person acquaintance until he was as well one of the best known men in the county. Capt. Beecham was 82 years of age. He was born in the parish of North Essex, on the Marimachi river, near Newcastle, Province of New Brunswick, March 25, 1838.

After locating here Captain Beecham became actively engaged in the enterprises of the city as a lawyer and as a newspaper man, but his greater prominence came through his later writings of poetry and philosophy. Sixteen years ago he was appointed jury bailiff for the superior court a position he occupied until the illness developed recently that took him from his duties and terminated in his death. Captain Beecham was married March 28, 1864, to Miss Emma Watkinson, at Sun Prarie, WI. He is survived by his wife and three children; Mrs. S.P.

Though but 18 years of age when the drums sounded the call to arms, he at once enlisted in Co. C., 7th Iowa Vol. Cavalry, in which he served for three years and seven months, being honorable mustered out at Omah, Ne., in Feb.1866. He was married July 11, 1861, to Cynthia A. Morgan, the daughter of a prominent Ky. family, born at Pleasant Grove, Ia. in 1842. Her father, Abraham Morgan later moved to Walla Walla, this state, where he resided for several years. To the couple were born seven children, Catherine J., Calvin B., Louisa L., James W., Walter A., Aaron F., and Alice May. Of these three survive, namely, Mrs. Catherine Merrill, Mrs. Louisa Neff and James W. Blair. Aside from these and his wife who also survives him, he leaves five grand children and two great grand children. After the close of the war, Mr. Blair returned to Ia. and followed farming until 1870, when he moved to Pleasant Hill, Mo., and engaged in contracting in connection with the County, construction of a railroad from that point to Lawrence, Ks. In 1878, he moved to Ia., to which state he had returned two years previously, and settled at Howard, in Elk county, Ks. Here he took up a pre-emption claim and followed farming until 1887, when he imigrated to Washington, arriving at Stanwood on Septmeber 26th of that year. The next year he took his household goods to Oso by canoe, Mrs. Blair walking to that then wilderness point by trail. After stopping at Oso for a short time, he took up a pre-emption claim a short distance north west of Arlington. Here he made substantial improvements, but after residing on the claim for 18 months, bought 80 acres of land on the marsh west of Arlington. This was the home of the family for two years, and during that time Mr. Blair had erected a comfortable home and cleared 20 acres of land. In 1892 he moved into Arlington, or rather the part of Arlington then know as Haller City, and engged in the real estate business as the agent of the Haller Townsite Company, with which he continued to be affliated until his retirement from business on account of his health. he was a man of great diligence in business, winning his way by his energy and native ability, though lacking a school education. He was indefatigable in working for all kinds of improvements and was well adapted by nature for the task of meeting and overcoming the impediments of pioneer life. Throughout his life deceased was adherent of the Republican party, and was an enthusiastic and tireless political worker, taking an active and influential part in every campaign in Snohomish Co. since he became a resident thereof. Notwithstanding his political influence, he never held office, nor made any special effort to obtain political preferment. He was active in the counsels of E.M. Stanton Post, G.A.R., having been its commander for several terms. He has been a member of the Methodist church since the age of thirteen. A.L. Blair, while a forceful and active citizen and a true American, had no claim to respect so potent as that inspired by his devotion to his wife and family. We can pay his memory no greater compliment than by saying that his attitude toward his family and general bearing hin his home approached the ideal. There is a vacant chair that can never be filled.

BRUNDIGE OBITUARY 6-1-1927 The Reaper is still gathering in the ripened Sheaves. On June 1st ,1927 A. A. Brundige at the age of 85 years, was gathered home. His service for our country, in the war of the Rebellion, was in Co.E. 6th Mi Heavy Artillery. On November 23, 1907 he became a member of Morton Post #10, Department of Washington and Alaska, Grand Army of the Republic, and remained a loyal member of the post until called to join the great majority of the comrades of that terrible struggle for our country's perpetuity. Although living in Montana for about the past decade he was true to his nature-loyal. Loyal to his country, loyal to his G.A.R. Post, loyal to his comrades and his friends. As a citizen he was highly respected. The passing of Comrade Brundige call to mind that since the muster of Morton Post 1-24-1884, it has had a total enrollment of 198 member; that Headquarters 12-31-1926 was eighteen; that thus far, during the year 1927 its ranks have been reduced by four, as follows: J.H. Russell of Idaho, Andrew McAlister of Oregon, B.O. Hall of Snohomish and A.A. Brundige of Montana. I am sure that the local membership of O.P. Morton Post may be pardoned for indulging a feeling of pride because of the loyalty of its absent membership. Comrades, "We are gathering home" D. F. Sexton Adjt. & QM, O.P. Morton Post #10. THE MONROE MONITOR 5-1-1925 Joseph Bry, age 18 years, died at Aldercrest Sanitorium April 19th at 4:30 p.m. following an illness of almost three years in that institution and where from time to time he rallied in health so much that assurance almost was made of his ultimate complete recovery.

Dillon officiating and the remains laid to rest in IOOF cemetery. The pallbearers were G.M. Schleisman, George and Tom Herley, M.C. Reardon, Paul Micheau and Francis Halpin. Joseph Bry was born in Forest county, Pa, and with his parents came to Monroe when about two years of age and which place was his home ever since.
