Sussex Independent, Friday, November 20, 1914: "Ithamar Beach died last Thursday night at the home of his hephew, Frank A. Bross, in Newark. He was in his eighty-seventh year, having been born in Sussex County in 1827. When ten years old his parents went to Newark. When the first horse car was run in that city, from the city line at Mt. Plesant Cemetery to the Market street railroad station, in 1862, Beach was the driver. Later he entered the express business. Last Thanksgiving Day he dislocated his hip by a fall, since which he had been confined to his bed. His funeral was held Friday night and interment was made on Saturday at Newton. His wife died six years ago and his nephew is his only survivor." Does anyone connect with this family? Frank A. Bross was the son of Smith Bross of Sussex Co. Actually, Frank A. Bross was the nephew of Ithamar's wife, Mary Bross Beach. There were also other nieces and nephews living in Sussex County at the time. Mona in IN
