Beckham, a car repairer in the Frisco-Santa Fe yards died at 11 o'clock Friday night at his home at the corner of Austin and Wright streets after an illness of less than a week. He was a large man of good robust appearance, the picture of health, but he was stricken with influenza which quickly developed into pneumonia. He was forty-eight years old and had been employed as car repairer in the Frisco yards at Paris the past thirteen years. He was regarded as a good man, was very popular among his fellow laborers, and always had a smile and a good word for everybody. He is survived by a wife, who is said to be seriously ill at present. He leaves to brothers, one of whom, J. D. Beckham, is also a car repairer in the Frisco-Santa Fe yards and the other lives in Enloe. He was a member of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen and of the Modern Woodmen. The burial was at Evergreen cemetery at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the funeral service being conducted at the grave by Rev. W. B. Kendall." On the same stone with Lula Beckham. |
