Death of William C. Beecher, a Prominent Citizen of Eden

Wm. C. Beecher, one of the best known citizens of Manheim Township, died suddenly on Monday afternoon at his home at Eden. He was stricken with paralysis in the morning, unconsciousness immediately resulting, and remained in that condition until death occurred at four o'clock. Mr. Beecher enjoyed excellent health and on Monday morning he arose at his usual hour, ate a hearty breakfast and started for the barn to feed the cattle. When he had performed the work and emerged from the building he was seized with a severe attack of vomiting. He called to a neighbor who was near at hand and said he believed he had been afflicted with a fatal stroke. A moment later he sank unconscious to the ground and was removed to the house. Dr. J. A. Ehler, of this city, was summoned, but all efforts to restore the stricken man to consciousness were of no avail.
Deceased was born in East Earl township in 1826 and was consequently sixty-nine years old. He moved to Manheim Township with his father in 1843 and learned the trade of pattern maker at the Eden Iron Works with Israel Groff. After Mr. Groff's death Mr. Beecher became one of the proprietors of the iron works which he and his brother conducted very successfully for a number of years. He retired from business about fifteen years ago.
Deceased was a staunch Rebublican in politics and served as School Director for one term. He was highly respected by the community in which he lived for so many years, and his death will be a sad shock to many friends. Mr. Beecher was a consistent member of Trinity Lutheran Church, and was at one time Warden.
Mr. Beecher leaves a widow and two daughters, Laura E., wife of Jacob Ranck, of East Earl Township, and H. Bertha, wife of William H. Conley, of Philadelphia, a passenger engineer on the Pennsylvania Railroad. One brother and sister also survive, Samuel Beecher of this city, and Mrs. Belinda C.
