DEATH OF MRS. j. Il. r.. BECK WITH
End of n Bright Life After IA short
But severe Illness

But severe illness.
The news of the death of Mrs. ]. F. B.
Beckwith yesterday at her home on Lib
erty street, will be a sad blow to her many
friends throughout the city. In the full
tide of young womanhood, with everything
to live for, the hand of the reaper came
and she was stricken down. Mrs. Beck
with had been extremely i'll for about
eight days, and al one time, a day or two
ago, some hope for her recovery was ex-
pressed. Within the day or two prior to
her death, however, She began to sink,
and toward the end, rapidly, until 6:15
o'clock last night, when she passed away.
Mrs. Beckwith, was the wife of Mr.. j
f. p. Beckwith, collector of the port,
and son of the late Bishop Beckwith of
Georgia. She was a Miss Gertrude Wat
kins HARDWOOD daughter of Mr.. D. b.
Harwood of Bloomington, H., where they
were married Sept. 26. 1889. She was also
a niece of Mr.. Il. L. Watkins, a prominent
citizen of Chicago. Mr.. and Mrs. Beck
with came south after their marriage, and
for a short time resided in Macon, coming
to Savannah In 1890, where they have since
lived. Their only child died at an early
age. Relatives of Mrs. Beckwith in the
north have been telegraphed, and respons-
them stating that they would come at
once.
Mrs. Beckwith was we'll known in Sa-
vannah. Highly educated and cultured.
possessing literary ability in a marked
degree, and with a bright and genial dis
position, she attrasAed around her large
number of frendA friends with whom it
was a delight to associate. She organized
a literary club. the Saturday Club when
she first came here, of which she has
since been president, and which was the
forerunner of other clubs of a similar ma
ture, which have proven of much value,
and which have afforded much intellectual
pleasure to their members. She took an
enthusiastic interest in the organization
and progress of the Free kindergarten
Association, of which she was al one time
president and was always deeply interest
ed in those who were It's beneflciaries
While all arrangements have not yet been
made for the funeral, 1t viii probably take
place tomorrow afternoon from St
Johns church. The interment viii be al

Nothing further was heard yesterday of
the report that C. B. Moody of Columbus,
guardian Of Amoret Moody, the 12-year-
old daughter of Mrs. w. D. Vandenberg
of this city, would institute proceedings
against MIR. and Mrs. Vandenberg, for the
recovery of the child.
"Amoret is perfectly happy now that
she is with her mother" Mr.. Vandenberg
said yesterday, land she has said that
she had almost rather be dead than go
back to Columbus. Friends in Columbus
have written me and my wife that it was
the best thing that could possibly have
happened for the child, a fact of which 1

''She told her mother that her life there
had been one of hardship and drudgery.
Sho said they would make her get up in
the night TO walk with the baby. that they
would wake her at O'Clock in the morn
ing and make her sweep the sidewalks,
make her run errands for everyone in the
house, and do practically all OF the kitchen

here that she was badly run down and
needed rest and attention. do not be-
lieve that her so-called guardian will in

will find it about the hardest work he ever
attempted. Certainly the mother has the
right to her own child before anyone else,
and she intends to keep her. do not doubt
that the law will support her in her ac-
ton"
1t has been several days now since Mrs.
Vandenberg took her daughter from Col

taken by the parties with whom she for

The Delta independent., 1897-12-17

The enterprising pioneers who have
peOpled the North Fork country on the
Gunnison river, above Delta. and demon
strated its wonderful fertility and pro-
ductiveness, are making a concerted and
energetic effort to secure railroad connec-
lion with the outer world by the building
OF line connecting with the Rio Grande
Western at Delta and running up the
North Fork valley to Hotchkiss and
Paolis. Such line would traverse one
Of the most fertile valleys OF the entire
state, which has already developed i'm
poFtant mining, stock growing. fruit rails
ing and agricultural interests. Transpor-
tation facilities alone are required to COM
plete the industrial combination.
4 similar effort was made by the resi-
dents OF the North Fork country some
two years ago, but owing to the financial
depression the movement failed OF imme-
diate success. Now. however, with the
steady growth and increase in the agricul-
turaI, horticultural and stock raising in
terests OF the valley and its tributaries,
the demand has become stronger than
ever for more rapid and economical
Transportation facilities. Realizing this
necessity, the people OF the valley have
organiZed an association for the promo
tion Of their interests and have gone to
vorz with an energy which BODIES a speedy
