Sussex Independent, July 13, 1900: "From our Beemerville Correspondent: "Mrs. Christian Medaugh, an aged resident of Beemerville, died on July 7, aged 87 years. She had always lived in this township, her maiden name been Van Sickle. She was the last of the family and is survived by one son, William, of this place, and three daughters, Phebe, wife of Edward Dunning; Mary, wife of G. L. Beemer, and Anna, at home, who mourn her loss, though thankful for the graciousness of her ripe old age."
