BEEBE, a native of California, aged 28 years. Deceased it seems heas been unfortunate having some years ago lost an eye by the explosion of a loaded cartridge. The immediate cause of his death was the discharge of a shotgun, while hunting quail near Granite Hill in this county, on Friday the 2nd Instant. It seems that he was riding in a cart with a shotgun at his side. The jolting of the cart in some way caused the shotgun to explode, the entire charge entering his arm near the shoulder, completely shattering it, In this mangled condition, the blood flowing rapidly from the wound, he managed to reach the residence of Mr. FORNI, nearly a mile from where the accident occured. A messenger was dispatched for a physician. He was brought to the residence of his sister in this city the next morning. On Tuesday evening the shoulder was amputated at the shoulder joint by doctors SMITH and MEGLONE. but the patient was so exhausted that it seemed impossible for the patient to rally and on Wednesday, he died. Deceased was an indu! strious young man of an impulsive, generous nature, kind hearted and liberal to a fault. He was widley known, and liked by all who knew him. He was interred at the Union cemetery on Thursaday at 3 o'clock p.m., the remains being followed to the grave by a large number of people. Deceased leaves several sisters and other relatives in this county to mourn his untimely death. Note: Philip was the son of Edward Orson BEEBE and Esther NEWBERRY. Although it is said that he is buried in Placerville Union cemetery, I have walked it many times and never found his marker. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
