It is given to few men in this age of the world to round out one hundred years of Iife, but this was what was accorded to David Beacom, who passed' away at the hone of his son, W. A. Beacom of the 13th concession of Hallett, on Sunday at the age of 100 -years, one month and eleven days. The late Mr. Beacom was a native of Ireland, being born in Fermanagh on April 4th, 1827. Re wasa lad of fifteen when his parents came frons Ennoskillen, Ireland, to •Anrorica. They carne to Huron County, settling first in Goderich township, near Bay- field where they lived_ for marry years and where his parents died.' lie farmed t ed in Goderich township ' ow slop himself fist nurny years, later moving to Ifni - lett township. About twenty-four years ago he retired from the farm and pante to reside in Clinton, remain- ing here' until a couple of years ago, since which time he has lived for the most part with his son. Mr. 'Beacon). was endowed: with a wonderful constitution and was in command of his faculties to a re- markable degree to the last. right up Wliile he lived in Clinton he was out everyday for a walk and he loved to meet and chat with old friends. He met everyone with a cheery greeting, and often' a witty one. He had a cheerful disposition and was seldom ruffled about anything. During the past; few years his eyesight failed hhn somewhat and he was linable to recdgnize faces • but he could recog- nize this friends by the tones of the voice. Mr. Beacons was amongst the old- est citizens of 'Huron County and al- though not a native he had spent a good long lifetime within its borders. He was also the oldest Orangeman hi the county, probably in the Dominion, having joined the -Order when he was eighteen, or ` as he once told The News -Record, in his nineteenth year. He was, therefore; a member for over :four score years, and it was very sel- dom, indeed, that he missed a twelfth of July "Walk." Ile was a member of Clinton Ledge and the members here on several occasions honoured. him with some mark of distinction oil his birthday. Last•tnonth, on his one hundredth birthday,, they went out to the home of his son and presented him with a gold -headed cane, suitably engraved. On this ,occasion ,he ,was delighted to `meet so many of his friends and greeted them warmly. He was apparently in. good• health,; but. the visitors, considering .lits age, trade a short visit,' not `wishing to tire him. His health remained good. and Ise was able to he up and about until Wednesday .of last week, When feel- ing unwell he was persuaded to go to bed about noon, and he neyei.rose again; his life ebbing out quietly, like the tide,- without pain or struggle: Mx. Beacom carne of a long-lived family.: Both his parents lived to be ninety-six, one brother died at the age of. ninety-three, - another 'died' as the result of being struck by an auto at the age of eighty-eight' and two sisters, were well over eighty when death carie. Hewasthe oldest but one of his family and the last to go. He is survived by five sons: Robert of. Northfield, Minn., David of Rod - yard, Mich,, William of Pickford, Mich., George of Mourn "Forest and Wesley A. of Hallett. Three sons are dead and his wife, who was formerly Katherine Sheppard, passed away in 1910, Mr. Beacom was a life-long Con- servative. But although he held to his own party so loyally he was never 'bit- ter,itWasn't in his 'nature to be, 'and Ise counted anany of his friends amongst the Liberal's. Indeed, "Davy" Beacom had few, if any, enemies and counted his friends by, the hundred. ADD TO BEACOM OBIT - The funeral took' ' plate from the horse of Mr. W. A. BeaeoFit yesterday afternoon, to.
