Mr. S. M. Beach Passes To Great Beyond
Mr. S. M. Beach, of Beachton, one of the county's leading citizens passed to
the great beyond last Friday morning. This will come as sad news to his
hundreds of friends throughout the county. He was a man well liked by everyone
with whom he came in contact.
The funeral services of this beloved man occurred at the Mitchell Burying
ground, near Beachton, last Saturday morning at ten o'clock. The services were
conducted by Rev. --- and were attended by a large concourse of sorrowing
relatives and friends. The Thomasville Times Enterprise carried the following
notice of his death:
Mr. Stptimus Melvin Beach died this morning at ten o'clock at his home in
Beachton, after an illness of several weeks. The end was not unexpected,
although his condition did not become serious until a few days ago.
Mr. Beach has been a resident of this county for about thirty years. He was
born in London, fifty-two years ago, but moved to Canada when a young men. He
was educated in English pharmaceutical universities and began his profession
work in Canada, where his health failed. He came to Thomasville and worked in
the prescription department of the drug store of Dr. R. L. Hicks. He improved
rapidly and in a few years after his advent married Miss Fannie Blackshear of a
prominent and old Thomas County family. They moved to what was then
Duncanville and what is now Beachton, named in honor of Mr. Beach.
From his first year in his new home he became a leading citizen in his
section. He was post master, Justice of the Peace and ran the largest store
within ten miles of the town. Nothing can be said of S. M. Beach that will
reflect anything but his rugged honesty, his genial disposition and his
wonderfully trained mind. As a man he was popular and beloved, as a citizen he
measured up to the highest standards and as a father and friend he fulfilled
the highest ideals.
Mr. Beach at one time stated that he was born in the largest city in the world
and after he reached Beachton determined to die in the smallest. He passed
away in his own little town after thirty years of useful life spent therein.
He is survived by his wife and two children, Mrs. G. T. Clark of Bainbridge and
Mr. Herbert Beach of Beachton.
