Mrs. A.M. Beeman

Lydia Ann Pomeroy was born near Bristol, Ontario county, New York, September 23, 1838. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Emma Mueller, 10 miles southeast of Humboldt, Kansas, November 17, 1929. Her age at the time of her death was 91 years, 1 month and 24 days. Her passing away was sudden, as she stepped from her rocking chair about two or three minutes before life ended, and while she was suffering intensely with her throat trouble with which she had been afflicted for years, she was thought to be better.

She is the last of a family of six children. Her father died when she was nine years old and she lived with her grandparents. She was married to Andrew Martin Beeman March 18, 1867, and they started west the same day of their marriage. They came to Canton, Missouri, and lived near there until November when they started for Kansas in a covered wagon. They homesteaded their home and moved into the house, which they erected, on Christmas Day 1867.

They lived on the homestead together until October 19, 1917, when Mr. Beeman died. She continued to live on the farm. It was the only home she ever knew. Her Children were all born there. They celebrated all their wedding anniversaries down to the fiftieth wedding day there.

On June 8, 1925, she fell and broke her hip. Since that time she has lived at the homes of her three children, C.W. Beeman, Mary Baggett and Emma Mueller, each two months at a time. May 23, 1928, she fell and broke the same hip a second time. She recovered and was able to walk unsupported.

She endured the hardships of a pioneer, which required much of a brave, determined nature. Mr. Beeman hauled freight from Kansas City for the Humboldt stores. At one time, he was gone from home 22 days when Mrs. Beeman was alone with her first six week old baby. The hardships brought by the scourge of the grasshoppers and drouths were borne with more than common difficulty because of her poor health. She was never healthy.

She was a great lover of flowers and devoted much of her time each season to the growing of flowers, and she gave freely to all who came to her home. She loved her God and her Bible. The last years of her life she spent much of her time in the study of the Bible and in prayer. She like to sing. The last song she sang was "O, Come Angel Band and Around Me Stand," two evenings before she passed away. She was pitifully afflicted, being very deaf and blind and had a painful throat.

She leaves to mourn: six children, Mrs. Emma Mueller, Chas. W. Beeman, and Mrs. Mary Baggett of Humboldt, Kansas; Ed A. Beeman of Golden, Oklahoma; Martin O. Beeman of Malin, Oregon; and John S. Beeman, address unknown. One son, Bennie, died at the age of 8 years, November 14, 1890. She also leaves thirty-one grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren and a host of friends.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. C.W. Marlin at the Methodist church, Humboldt, Kansas, and burial was in Maple Grove Cemetery.

The pall bearers were old family friends: Wilbur Gerall, Henry Roehl, John Thompson, Bert Jay, Henry Gerken and John Mueller.
