there and the celebrated Beedle orchestra
was organized, famous for providing high
/ class instrumental music all through this
section. Harry also played bass viol in
I the orchestra and his loss is a heavy blow
I to both organizations.
During Harry's residence in Keene
/ while not engaged in music, he was at Diff
ferent times employed as a furniture fin
isher and as manager OF the bicycle store
OF the wilkins Toy company, where he
I proved valuable man. Besides playing,
he gave some time TO singing and was for
a year or two bass singer in the Unitarian
1 church quartet at Keeue, He was as much
Q fayorite in keene 2s ia Randolph The

The Beetles have seemed to belong to
randolph as much as ever since their re-
moval, and Harry, especially, has been
here much, being always warmly greeted
by many friends. Besides his parents, one
brother, Fred Beedle, survives.
The last rites were held on Monday at
ternoon at 3 80 at A. II. Beedle's home and
the remains were laid away ia the beauti-
full cemetery by loving hands, as the day
10 hrNllhiuR kDMhEu the night AALGT
the morning clouds and rain, the after
noon became perfect and glorious, thus
enabling all who wished to participate In
the services. The gathering OF friends
from near and far betokened the deep and
wide circle OF those who loved and ex-
pressed as well their sympathy for the
family bereaved.
The services were fashioned after ex-
pressions which Harry had been heard to
make OF what be should or should not like
TO have done, and were simple, tender and
quiet. Words OF appreciation were spoken
By DR.. V, NJ. Hardy, Indicative OF his per-
sonal worth; his genial spirit; his man
illness Of bearing; his devotional and mu
steal taste and ability: the promise OF his
early manhood the confidence OF those
who knew him IN him and in his future
and words OF comfort were brought to
those whose hearts and homes are so much
bereft by his departure, The bestowment
OF flowers in such beauty and profusion
told In another way the same story of love
and sympathy which was expressed by
fearful eye and helping hand and tenderly
spoken sentences. Laid about the casket
and strewn about the grave, they seemed
70 speak the heart ST tribute OF appreciation
and sorrow, not to whisper a thought OF
self.
The thoughts OF many, as they returned |
from the house of mourning and the burial, /
are reflected In the words OF Nathaniel /
Willis;-
REST now His i0urneying Is done.
Your feet are on his sod
Deaths blow has felled your champion
He wRiteth here his God
AZ, turn and weep; It's manlness
To be heartbrOken here,
For the grave Of one, the best OF US,
Is watered by the tear. p
Among those from away who came TO |
attend the funeral we're his uncle, Charles
c. Beedle, with his wife and son, Karl,
