HUNTINGTON,
SEYMOUR BURTON BEARDsLEY.
1t is with deep regret that the COM
munity Is called upon to mourn the
death Of Seymour Burton Beardsley,
which occurred December 16, at his
residence, 1859 Kossuth street, Bridge
port. Though Mr. Beardsley had been
in rather poor health for several years,
his death will be surprise to many.
Several years ago he suffered an at
tack of virtigo, the effects of which
troubled him q long time, and later
severe attack of pleurisy brought him
near to deaths door, from which he
never fully recovered, still be was able
to attend to his ordinary business, I'M
til about two weeks ago, when he con-
tracted q severe cold which developed
into acute pneumonia, and this proved
too much for his already enfeebled
constitution to endure. He never was
. rugged man and when child he
was unable to walk until many months
after the age at which children usual
ly do, owing to partial paralysis Of
his feet and ankles, which troubled
him to some extent all his life. For .
number Of years he Was msnufact-
urer of cigar boxes and later was in
business as carpenter and the build
ings erected by him bear testimony to
his integrity and good workmanship.
It finally became desirable that he
abandon his heavy outside work and
he then became associated with his
father, John Z. Beardsley, at his mill
in the western part Of the town. For
many years he was an enthusiastic
Mason, having joined Washington
lodge, No. 10, Of Monroe, In 1883, soon
after be became 81 years Of age. He
has held nearly~al the Offices in the
lodge and was three times elected |
master, 1888, 1889. 1890. He was made
q Royal Arch Mason in Solomon chap
ter Of Derby in 1889 and later he be-
came affiliated with Jerusalem chapter
of Bridgeport. Mr. Beardsley was q |
kind and indulgent husband and faith |
er, and his genial nature made friends
for him wherever he went. He leaves
a wife, who was Miss Annie e. Will
son, and three children, Gladys aged
10, John II, and Wilson aged I. He
also leaves brother, F. w. Beardsley |
OF Shelton, and two sisters, Mrs J. T.
Olmstead Of Stepney and Miss Ethel
NJ. Beardsley. He will be sadly missed
by his little family, how sadly only
those can know who have passed
through the same trying ordeal andwe|
know that, the years in their courses
will most assuredly and mercifully
mitigate the suffering and sorrow OF
the present and SO dull the edge of
our misery and suffering that we may
look back on the dark past and re-
gard 1t almost as some disagreeable
and troublesome dream. Funeral
services were held at his late resi-
dence in Bridgeport. Interment was
in the new cemetery in Huntington
Center, where the remains were ten
DERBY laid in their last resting place by
the members of Washington lodge.
The beautiful and impressive Masonic
service was rendered in q very effec-
tive manner by w. M. DR. Frank J.
Wales.
