Burial will be in Sultan Snohomish County Tribune 12-6-1895 After a lapse of nine years the mystery surrounding the disapearance of Andrew Beamish from his ranch near Getchell, has been cleared up by the finding of his body in the dense forest about two miles from his home. The discovery was made by a rancher named Trajack, who was cutting a trail through the woods to Lake Cassidy. He struck the skull first, and thought it was a stone. On closer investigation he found to his horror that it was a skeleton, from which the flesh had long since disapeared. The clothing, protected by the fall of leaves, was in a better state of preservation than might have been supposed. News of the discovery quickly spread, and an examination of the clothing and effects satisfied the missing man's widow, now Mrs. Jackson, that the remains were beyond doubt those of her former husband. She recognized the coat, which was lined with red flannel; also two pocket books, a comb and a watch. Coroner Rogers and Prosecuting Attorney Heffner visited the scene on Tuesday. The money found on the body consisted of one $29 gold piece, two silver dollars, two halves and three 10-cent pieces. The watch had stopped at 6:50 p.m. Beamish was a man about 52 years of age, and left home about three o'clock on the afternoon of September 14, 1886, leaving his wife and three children. That was the last seen of him. It was believed that he had been fouly dealt with, and the marriage of this widow a short time afterward to a man named Roder, or Rody living near by, created much unfavorable comment. This man was not long afterward arrested and placed in jail at Snohomish on a charge of criminal assault upon one of the daughters of Beamish. While in jail he committed suicide by hanging himself, but he left a statement implicating two women in the mysterious disapearance of Beamish. A close examination of the skeleton by the cornoner and others failed to revail any evidence of assault or wounds, and the neighbors are fully satisfied that the widow of Beamish is exonerated from the unjust suspicions that have been cast upon her. As the widow of both Beamish and Roder she came into possession of both their claims, and subsequently married a Mr. Jackson, with whom she is now living.

MAULSBY, of this city. The parent's name was BEARD, and he was widely known amoung G.A.R. members of this city, having been here for several months, until about three weeks ago, when he went to Akeley. The telegram announced merely the death without giving the cause, and evidently the demise was sudden, because no information of the illness had been received here.

Bennett, 78 year-old Civil war veteran, is dead from injuries suffered last evening about 6 o'clock when he was struck at Twentieth street and Broadway by an automoble driven by Fire Chief Al Taro. Both of Mr.Bennett's legs were broken, one arm was fractured, and he suffered a scalp wound and internal injuries were inflicted that, coupled with the shock, caused the aged man's death. Mr. Bennett died this morning at the Everett hospital about 5 o'clock. Fire Chief Taro and his brother Lawrence Taro, were in the chief's automobile at the time of the accident, Chief Taro at the wheel. They were en route north on Broadway to Lawrence Taro's residence where the chief had been invited to dine. A light rain was falling, obscuring the driver's vision. As the car approached Twentieth street the Chief's attention was drawn to a Shadowy figure to front and left. He slackened speed and leaned outside the car to get a clearer view. As he did so, Bennett, who was apparently crossing from the west to the east side of the street, stepped in front of the car. The Chief swung the wheel sharply to the right to avoid striking the man. Bennett quickened his pace and kept directly in front as the car continued swinging sharply to the left. Taro jammed on the brakes and was bringing the machine to a stop when the front fender struck the aged man, who fell heavily to the street. It is doubtful, Chief Taro said today, whether the automobile, after hitting Bennett went forward more than six inches. The Chief and his brother picked up the injured man, carring him into a neighboring home. A physician was called and first aid measures were resorted to until Challacome & Fickel's ambulance arrived to carry the aged man to the Everett hospital. Although given every attention at the institution, Mr. Bennett did not rally from the first shock. He grew steadily weaker and his recovery was despaired of early last evening. "It is the first person my car has injured in eight years" said Chief Taro this morning. The fire Chief feels the accident keenly. "I have always been a crank about safty-first measures and have taken steps to have careless department drivers dismissed from the service. "About three blocks on this side of Twentieth my brother and I both remarked how difficult it was to see ahead because of the rain on the windshield and how easy it would be to run down some pedestrian. That thought made me slacken the speed of the car and we were doing no more than ten miles an hour when we approached the Twentieth street crossing, and both of us were keeping a pretty close watch." Mr. Bennett was a native of Michigan. He saw four years of almost constant service in the field as an infantryman in the Civil war as a member of Company K, Seventh Michigan infantry regiment. At Spottsylvania he was severely wounded in the right shoulder. Fifty-six years ago Mr. Bennett was united in marriage with a Michigan girl, who survives him. there is one daughter, Mrs. May Marshall, of 1932 Lombard avenue, with whom the aged couple lived. Mr. Bennett was a member of John Buford post, G.A.R. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from Challacombe & Fickel's chapel with interment in Everegreen cemetery. The Rev.

BLAIR Reaching, by a valiant struggle with the grim destroyer to and a little beyond his allotted three score years and ten, A.L. Blair, one of the fathers of Arlington and a man known and respected in almost every household in the Stillaguamish Valley, passed away peacefully at 3 O'clock p.m. Wednesday, September 17, at the age of 70 years, 5 months, and 18 days. He had been extremely feeble for many months and only an optimistic spirit and unusually strong will had served to prolong the struggle with the ravages of disease and old age during recent month. His last public appearance was on the occasion of the Pioneer picnic, September 1st, and then he was unable to leave his carriage. Those at the bedside when the call came were Mrs. Blair, William Blair, his son, and Mrs. Minnie Blair, his daughter-in-law, also the nurse and housemaid. Funeral services were held from the house at 9 o'clock a.m. Friday, September 19, Rev. Fred W. Soper officiating. Even at that early hour a large concourse of friends were present, the services being simple and impressive. Relatives from out of town present were Mr. Frank Neff of Everett, Mrs. Merrill of Seattle. The following served as pallbearers in connection with the intermant which occurred in the GAR cemetery at Snohomish beside a son, daughter and grand children, M.M. McCaulley, Jasper Sill, Mart Everts, Geo. D. Wallace, B.H. Hanse and Thos. Moran. Aaron L. Blair was born March 30, 1843, in Fountain Co., Ind, a son of John and Sarah (Crystal) Blair. He was the youngest of a family of seven. His father was a native of Tn. who settled in Ind. when a young man. His mother was a Ky and came to Ind. when a young woman making the trip on horseback. When a child, his parents moved to Ia, of which state he was a resident until the outbreak of the Civil War. 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.

She was the youngest of six children. She was born of Christain parents which she loved most dearly, she united with Christain church at the age of 13 years. She has lived a consistent Christain ever since telling to the world that Christianity is not a mere imagination but that principle in life that can only make up a true character that will stand the test when the death summons comes. She was united to Mr. B.C. Bradbury in holy bonds of matrimony in 1887. She leaves a husband and four children of which their ages, 10,8,5 and 1 years old to mourn her loss, also a host of friends who mourn her loss. This is one of the most touching incidents that has ever occurred in this community. When death came it caused many eyes to shed tears. No one can measure the loss that the dear husband and children feel. She was a faithful wife and companion, a loving mother and true counselor. The words of the Gospel writer are appropriate here "She has done what she could" Death is a test of Christian faith, she said she was not afraid to die but she wanted to live for her husband and children's sake, if it is God's will. What is her gain is our loss, she always made friends by her sweet Christain disposition where ever she went.

EVERETT NEWS 4-14-1894 Farmers at Edmonds Arbritrate Differences With Bright Blades There was a stabbing affray at Edmonds, on the Great Northern road, in Snohomish Co. Thursday, between Charles Robertson and Farmer Brown, which may result in the death of the latter. Robertson plunged a pocket knife to the hilt into Brown's left side. The blade barely missed the heart, and the wound is a dangerous one. It appears that Robertson recently performed some work upon a road built by Brown and other farmers in the vicinity, and that his pay was not forthcoming at the appointed time. Yesterday morning the two men met at Edmonds, and Brown was dunned for the money. He replied that he could not pay it then but would do so as soon as another party paid him some money. Robertson flew into a rage, calling Brown a d - n liar, asserting that the money in question had already been paid and that he (Brown) had it in his pocket. At this a fight started and during the struggle Brown was stabbed in the manner stated. It was supposed at first that he could not long survive that the blade had penetrated the heart. William Plummer, of Edmonds, telegraphed Coroner Horton to come, if possible, and that if he could not do so to send a good surgeon. Dr. Horton left the city about two o'clock on the steamer Cricket. Meanwhile the sheriff of Snohomish county was notified. Robertson, who was himself a deputy sheriff of the county stationed at Edmonds, was arrested and taken to Snohomish. He is a much smaller man than is Brown, who weighs perhaps 200 pounds. The latter has a family, but Robertson is a single man- Seattle Telegraph.

MONROE MONITOR 10-11-1900 HUNTER KILLED One of those terrible accidents that take place periodically with hunters after big game in this western country, occured last Tuesday morning, when Martin Brown was shot and killed by William Johnson. As the story comes to the Monitor it is as follows; A party of four, consisting of John Johnson, William Johnson, Henry Dennis and Martin Brown, went to Lake Fontal, seven or eight miles southeast of town, to hunt bear Tuesday morning the party started to make a circuit of the lake, and divided; John Johnson and Martin Brown going one way and William Johnson and Henry Dennis going the other. Young Brown, who was a newcomer and not used to the woods, became separated from his companion, and evidently was confused as to his whereabouts, when the other two men came up. Dennis saw something moving ahead on a log and excitedly told his companion that a bear was there and for him to shoot, as he had a larger bore gun. Johnson located the place indicated and fired, and Brown fell off the log, 30 or 35 yards distant, the shot having entered the back and coming out under the heart. It is strange that he did not make his presence known, as when Dennis first called out to Johnson, the boy was between the two and ordinarlly could not help but hear. Several minutes elapsed, and both men were moving about in the brush. The boy was hard of hearing, though, and the suposition is that he was excited and frightened, and probably lost, as he was thought to be out by the lake. The young man was picked up and assisted to walk half a mile or more to camp. He told the men not to blame themselves, as it was his own fault. One of the men came down for Dr. Ball, but before he could arrive at the camp Brown was dead, having lived three or four hours after being shot. The body was brought down to the Johnson ranch Wednesday, and was viewed by Dr. Stafford, county corner, who decided that the facts were as above stated and that an inquest was unneccessary and gave a burial permit. Martin Brown was 22 years old, and came to Monroe two weeks ago with his adopted parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Brown, from Pennsylvania. There is deep sympathy for all the sufferers in the unfortunate affair. The funeral will be held from the church tomorrow forenoon at 10 o'clock.

Tuesday morning about noon a crowd of men employed at Snohomish logging Co.'s works near this city were riding on one of the cars on the company's train, when the car upon which five of the men were riding, jumped the track. At the point where this occured the track runs on a trestle about fourteen feet from the ground. Two of those on the car, Chas. Cyphers and R.G. McDonald jumped and escaped with but a few bruises and cuts; of the rest, Frank Burn was crushed to such an extent that he died the same afternoon, being unalble to rally from the operation of amputating his arm and leg. "Mike" Lampert was pushed along the trestle thirty or fourty feet by the trucks of the car, and in addition to a leg and a foot being broken, suffered internal injuries from the effects which he died Wednesday afternoon at Everett whither he had been taken for treatment. The third man whose name is not known was thrown in such a manner that the car and its load all fell on him, but in some miraculoss way he escaped injury. It appears that the cause of the accident was the jumping off the track of the small push car which was in front of the car on which the men were riding. This jammed together the trucks which seperated the boards forming the bottom of the car, dropping the men down between, to death. While blame cannot be attached to anyone the question whether the train was being run to fast arises in the mind of the investigator. Frank Burns was buried Wednesday by the Monte Cristo Lodge of Foresters, of which he was a member. Mr. Lambert was buried from the Congregational church on Thursday, Rev. Wilson officiating at both services. Everett Daily Herald 12-1845 Nettie Burnstad, 72, pioneer resident of Monroe, died at her home December 4 following a brief illness.
