MRS. W. H. BEAM PASSES AWAY

BELOVED MOTHER DIES FROM EFFECTS OF SERIOUS OPERATION. Mrs. W. H. Beam died at the hospital in this city at 6:45 o’clock this Monday morning. She had undergone an operation for intestinal obstruction last Thursday. Her condition was found to be very bad at the time of the operation and her physicians seemed to hold out but little hope of her recovery. She was a woman of remarkable vitality and Friday her condition was such that relatives felt somewhat encouraged. Saturday her condition was not so favorable. Sunday she ibecarfie much worse and it was evident that she could not long survive. Mrs. Beam was so well known and so universally admired, being a woman of strong personality and of Charming disposition, that her death is a very great shock to this city. The passing of no other person in this community would sadden more hearts than has the death of this large-hearted mother. She is survived by her husband, three sons and three daughters, all of whom are here to share with one another this the deepest sorrow of their lives. The funeral may ibe held Wednesday, but no definite arrangements have been made at this time as a number of relatives have not been heard from.
