    MRS.  E. A. BEEDLE

    MRS. E. A. BEEDLE, Troy, Mrs. E. A. Beedle, widow of Abram Beedle, was born at Sharpsburg, Ohio, Aug 1, 1822. Her parents moved to Dayton in 1824 and she attended school until her education was completed; her parents moved to Concord Twp. in 1842, and settled two miles south of Piqua. Her marriage with Abram Beedle was solemnized June 9, 1847, and they commenced housekeeping on a farm then owned by Mr. Beedle, three quarters of mile west of Troy, on the Covington Pike. Their first daughter, Belle, was born June 9, 1848, and is now the wife of J. J. Mitchell of Yellow Springs, Greene Co., Ohio; Frances, the second daughter, was born Aug. 14, 1853, and is now the wife of William Martin, they reside in Leroy, Coffee Co., KS; Emma R., the third daughter, was born June 9, 1854, and became wife of George S. Helman June 12, 1877. Two short years of a happy married life were enjoyed, when she, together with her infant son, Henry Orton, were buried in one grave, and the gentle autumn winds sang the last sad requiem over the grave made doubly sacred by its double offering. Horace M. the first son, was born May 4 1864, and is now the comfort of his mother; he lives with her and is completing his education at the Troy schools. Abram Beedle, the husband and father, died April 14, 1876, and his remains repose by the side of his daughter Emma and her first born, in a lovely spot in Riverside Cem. The entire family, except the son, are conscientious members of the Presbyterian Church, and their daily life gived evidence of that Power which is a "light unto their path." Mrs Beedle is 58 years of age, has been a resident of this township forty years and may therefore be classed among the old settlers. Their farm is neatly kept, a roomy brick house containing everything necessary for comfort and convenience.
