The Late Mrs. Beach.
| The death of Mrs. Rebecca g.. Beach,
which occurred early yesterday morning,
brings deep and sincere sorrow to many
hearts. The deceased lady had been i'll
| only week. She was attacked with a Sc
we're form of tonsilitis on her return from
Fishers Island, where she had been
spending few days, but the symp-
toms were not at first seriously alarming
| and her recovery was confidently expect
ed. Later, however, on Sunday the dis
ease assumed a critical form, developing
into capillary bronchitis, and despite the
most devoted and loving care and the eff
forts of the best medical skill she was I'M
able to rally. Her death leaves a void in
the home circle and the circle of near and
dear friends which will ever be deeply
felt. Around her memory the tenderest
thoughts will linger with those who knew
her cultivation of mind and beautiful
traits of disposition and the sweet repose
of her lovely character.
The deceased was native of Whining
ton, DEL, and was the daughter of William
and Rebecca Donaldson Gibbons. Her
husband, the late John 8. Beach, to
whom she was married in 1S47, was long
| one OF the leading members of the Con-
necticut bar, a gentleman distinguished
also by his true gentleness and refinement
of character and genuine nobility of ma
| ture that made him indeed prince among
men, and in his death the city and state
| suffered a distinct loss. The deceased
leaves four children-Rsbecca Donaldson
| John Kimberly, Frances Gibbons and
Rodman Vernon Beach. The funeral serv-
ices will be held to morrow, at 2 p. m.
