Beatrice married Clarence Benedict Cleland on 15 May 1894. Clarence died one year later on 23 May 1895. A little over three years and three months later,

Beatrice secretly married John Sergeant Cram on 2 Sep 1898 and was married to him for over five years before she died on 20 Oct 1903.

The New York Times on Sunday 9 Oct 1898 reported: "J. SERGEANT CRAM A BENEDICT. He Married Beatrice Budd Cleland Over a Month Ago."
The news yesterday that J. Sergeant Cram, President of the Board of Dock Commissioners had secretly married Beatrice Budd Cleland, the daughter of Samuel Budd, created quite a ripple of excitement at the clubs and in society. The wedding took place at St. Agnes's protestant Episcopal Chapel, on Ninety-second Street, on Sept. 2, and was solemnized by the Rev. August Ulman. Two of the attaches of the church were the witnesses, and at the request of Mr. Cram and his bride, the ceremony was kept secret. It was, however, registered at the Bureau of Vital Statistics, and thus the facts relating to the marriage became public. At the church yesterday it was stated that the bride had called on one of the officers of the church on the evening preceding the ceremony and had expressed her wish to be married to Mr. Cram the next day if a clergyman could be found. On the day of the ceremony, the bride told the clergyman that her family knew of her intention to marry, but that Mr. Cram's family knew nothing whatever about it. Neither gave an address. J. Sergeant Cram was not at his office yesterday nor was Mr. Budd to be found. J. Sergeant Cram is a well-known member of the Knickerbocker, Metropolitan, and Democratic Clubs. He lives at 5 East Thirty-eighth Street with his sisters, and has always held a high social position. He was appointed a Dock Commissioner by Mayor Grant in 1888, and again by Mayor Van Wyck. He is a member of Tammany Hall. Although well known in society, he has not been a participant in social gayeties for a number of years. He is a man about forty-five years of age. Mrs. Cram has been married before.
