M. Church on last Wednesday. Rev. Buckner, of Macomb, preached an interesting discourse, based upon the Universal doctrine. Mrs. Beckwith clung to that faith, and it was by her request that it was done. Mrs. Beckwith formerly lived in this city, and was known as a lady of much refinement and intelligence. Kind and loving to all around, made her beloved by all who knew her. The remains were interred in Wildwood cemetery, north of town, by the side of her children. We've no doubt a suitable obituary will be prepared by the Joetta correspondent, hence our brevity. * * * * * A search has revealed no additional obituary by the Joetta correspondent mentioned above. I have several obituaries which refer to the Webster Cemetery as the "Wildwood cemetery". Link: Deep Roots in Hancock County, Illinois URL: <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~majorville/>
