Surnames: Beachamp Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5YB.2ACE/2533 Message Board Post: An unusually sad and terrible accident happened in the Northeast part of our county on Tuesday of last week when Jessie Beachamp the small son of Joe Beachamp who resides near the M.K. & T. school house accidentlly shot and killed himself. It seems that the boy was listing some land and had taken the shot gun to the field with him meaning to kill rabbits. Later the tem came running to the house with the lifeless body of Jessie entangled in the lister which was muchly besmeared with blood. The top of the skull had been completely torn away by the discharge of the gun and particles were found all along the road where the team had run. It is presumed that the boy was carrying the gun loaded, and that by some chance accidentally fired it, the shot passing through his skull causing his instant death. Undoubtedly the shot frightened the team causing them to run away. We are extremely sorry to hear of this sad accident and extend our sympathies to the bereaved family.

At the time Mr. Barker moved to Iowa he was two and a half years old and when he was only seventeen he enlisted in Co. G. 7th Iowa Cav. and served throughout the civil war in the Union arm. "The little brown button " that he constantly wore in the lapel of his coat was mute testimony of his membership in the G.A.R. at Colfax, Iowa and of which he was justly proud. Following the close of the war he was married to Clemintina Miller, of the children born to this union Silvia and Johnnie died in infancy and Mrs. Nannie Baldwin in later life. Seven children living are Mrs. Rose Hay of Grinall, Iowas, Obadiah of Tra Iowa, and Richar, William, Charley James and Alva, all living at Rankin, Oklahoma.

Thus in a few words we sum up a long useful life but it does not tell us of many things that those who have known Grandpa Barker, as he was familiarly called, knew of his life. A man whose integrity was above reproach and whose "word was as good as his bond". He was one of those citizens in whom our community had perfect confidence always ready to do his part in the advancement of the country he bore the financial as well as the labor burdens that naturally fall to a public spirited citizen.
