Ada W. Anderson was born around 1858 in Illinois, daughter of Carroll and Julia Ann (Benefiel) Anderson of Union and Jackson Cos IL. In 1880 she was single and in her parents' household at Sedalia, Pettis Co MO. Judging from family records and online information, she married Cydnor Tompkins Beach around 1882 and died by 1898. The census of Barlow Township, Washington Co, Ohio, lists Cydnor Beach, born (24) Sep 1844 in Ohio. In his household are a daughter and son: Della Beach, b Nov 1884 in Missouri, and Rufus Benjamin Beach, b Sep 1888 in Missouri. Their mother was born in Illinois. In 1910 in Barlow Township was listed a Leora E. Beach, age 27 (or born ca 1883), born in MO, father b OH and mother b IL. Presumably at least Della and Rufus were children of Ada. There may have been another child, Emmet, born around 1891. Social Security Death Index shows "R. Beach", born 30 Sep 1888, died Jan 1974, with last payment sent to Fleming, Washington Co OH. This is quite likely Rufus. I have not learned where Ada died. She may be buried near her mother at Mt. Herman Baptist Church Cemetery, north of Sedalia, or possibly she died in Ohio. Would like marriage and death dates for Ada, and wish to make contact with any living descendants. See some of Cydnor Beach's ancestry at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Garden/9603/page4.html .
