    THE DEATH OF A PIONEER
    Edward M. Beeson Passes Away on Christmas Day.
    Watched the Progress of This City With Interest, and Was a Worthy Man
    Edward Milton Beeson, one of Redwood City's oldest and most respected citizens, passed to his eternal home at noon on Christmas day.
    Mr. Beeson was ill but a few weeks, though he had been ailing for some time. Death was caused by heart failure. For nearly half a century he had resided here. He was an industrious peaceful citizen; one whom every one liked and loved.
    Mr. Beeson was born near Salem, North Carolina in 1827, and at an early age came to California, settling first on the Murphy ranch near Mountain View. He afterwards moved to Pescadero where his eldest son W. W. Beeson, Redwood City's popular blacksmith, was born. A year or so later he moved to Sonoma county, having learned the wagon-making trade. Here he increased his opportunities of a livelihood by learning the carpenter's trade, also a fortunate move, for in those days (1857) the master of but one trade was apt to find himself out of work.
    For five years he lived in Santa Cruz, and then came to San Mateo county, engaging in farming near Pescadero for many years. The longing to again return to his trades resultd in the sale of his farm and his removal to Redwood City, where he built a shop and residence, and settled down to contribute his share towards the up building of the town. From a mere hamlet to a thriving town he interestingly watched its progress, in the meantime working up a large and remunerative trade with the surrounding country.
    Practically retired for many years, he was hail and hearty up to the time of his death and ___lated in the wood work department of his son's shop. For a few years he farmed the old Hop ranch near Ravenswood.
    He married Mehitable Bachelor, who was born in Maine and reared in Illinois, and the children born to their union were: Albert, Alice A., the wife of George Allen, Willie W., Ella V., Edward A., and Henry, who died when young.
    The funeral which took place Wednesday afternoon was largely attended by old friends and acquaintances. Rev. Kirtland held services at the residence of the deceased. Interment was in Union cemetery. The following old friends acted as pall-bearers: Judge Beck, J. H. Mansfield, George W. Lovie, John W. Glennan, P. P. Chamberlain and O. H. Offermann.

          (Not sure if these were on 1 monument or individual monuments..)
          Albert M. Beeson 1864-1887
          Ida Luella Beeson 1882-1888
          NOTE: Albert M. Beeson is recorded as dying at age 3.
          So the 1864 is probably 1884
