Edward F. Beyer
Broker Dies On Birthday
E.F. Beyer, grain broker, of 207 Courtleigh, died Monday of an apparent heart attack on his 73rd birthday. Hospital officials placed time of death at 11:15 a.m. A nurse said Beyer was admitted to the hospital last Wednesday.
A long-time resident of Wichita, he opened a grain office here in 1908. During World War I, he served with the Pure Food and Drug Administration in Kansas City, Mo. After the war, he returned to Wichita and eventually opened grain offices in Hutchinson and Salina.
At the outset of World War II, he sold all but the Wichita office, which he moved to the Wheeler, Kelly, Hagny Bldg. Beyer was a strong supporter of local sports. An associate said he was "the most rabid Brave fan I ever knew." He also attended Blessed Sacrament Church.
He is survived by his wife, Lucille; a brother, John Henry Beyer; and two daughters, Mrs. O.D. Simmons, Denver and Mrs. Floyd Hazleton, Hutchinson.
