speedy courtship was carried on,
despite the efforts of the Lincoln rel
atives to prevent it, An elopement
followed, and the brides father tried
to place Beckwith in a responsible
position with the Pullman company in
Chicago
The young husband. however, soon
returned to the home of his father,
Capt, W. Beckwith, at Mount Pleas
ant. and later became a professional
baseball player in the minor leagues.
Then he entered the Spanish-Ameri-
