MISS BEAM, 85, TAKEN BY DEATH
Ordained Minister Dies After Long Illness-Funeral Monday.
The Rev. Miss Ella Beam, 85, ordained minister of the United Brethren church, died at 8:15 o'clock this morning at the home of a niece, Mrs. Jacob C. Casada, in Elizabethtown following eight weeks' illness. She had been in declining health for some time but was able to be up and about the Casada home, where she went to spend the winter. In January she fell on the back porch of the house and sustained serious injuries, including fractures of the hip.
The body is at the Norman funeral home in Hope but will be moved tomorrow afternoon to the Beam home in Hartsville. Funeral services will be held at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon at the Hartsville United Brethren church with the Rev. Orrin Fuller of Losantville in charge. Burial will be made in Garland Brook Cemetery.
Descendant of Founder.
Miss Beam was born near Germantown, Ohio, the daughter of the Rev. A. H. K. and Elizabeth Duckwall Beam, and was a direct descendant of Martin Boehm, one of the founders of the United Brethren church. With her parents she came to Bartholomew county when a year old and the family lived on the Beam homestead just east of the county hospital. In 1889 they moved to Hartsville, where she spent the rest of her life, with the exception of winters spent with relatives.
She is the last member of the Beam family, except several nieces and nephews. Her father was a pioneer preacher in the county.
She was ordained a minister many years ago and, in addition to churches in this county, preached at times at Messick, Waltnut Hill, Fowlerton and Gaston. She continued in active work until recent years. She often preached at the U. B. church here and was a teacher in the Sunday school. She was the organizer of the White Water branch of the Women's Home Missionary society and a charter member of the Missionary society of the Rugby United Brethren church.
