PASSING. OF D. BEACOM.
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
