OBITUARY.
Frederick Beckman, who died at
his home in this city Tuesday morn
ing,o pneumonia, was one of the pic
neer cigar manufacturers in the city
and for years did thriving business
in the cigar trade. He had quite an
extensive factory and continued to
manufacture the goods in a small way
until a comparatively short time be-
fore his death. He laid the founda
ton to the business in Oskaloosa and
upon it to-day is builded a trade that
represents thousands of dollars and
employs hundred people. Mr..
Beckman was born in Tecklenburg,
Westphalia, Prussia, August 4, 1928.
He came to this country about 1864
and lived in Cincinnati about two
years. There he married Miss Mary
Jones and removed to Oskaloosa,
where he has since resided. He en-
gagged in business upon his arrival
here and has been citizen of the
place for period of forty-four years.

Brown and Miss Mollie Beckman, of
this city, and Fred Beckman, Jr. A

will be unable to reach the city for the
funeral. Mr.. Beckman was a good
citizen and he was widely known in
the younger days of the business of
Oskaloosa. He was prominent in the
enterprises of that day and took a
lively interest in the welfare of the
town. He was good father and a
