"Mrs. Lydia Beecher, relict of Dr. Lyman Beecher, well known as a lady of great ability and usefulness, died at her residence, No. 57 Hoyt St., Brooklyn, on Saturday, of an attack of influenza, succeeded by congestion of the lungs, after a few days' illness. The lamented lady, whose maiden name was Beale, was born in Boston, Mass. She was first married to Capt. Joseph Jackson of that city, and some years after his death, became the wife of Dr. Beecher, sharing with him a large portion of those labors which have made his name everywhere revered. Mrs. Beecher's powers of mind were unimpaired to the last hour of her life, and her earth was a quiet falling asleep. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher will conduct the funeral services at Plymouth Church this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, after which the remains will be taken to Mount Auburn Cemetery, in the vicinity of Boston, and deposited in the vault by the side of her daughter."
