Collins Beckwith died at his home on Liberty St, Wed. morning, after a few days' illness with dysentery.
Mr. Beckwith was born at Simsbury, CT, 72 years ago, and has been a resident of Bath for about forty years.
He is survived by his third wife, and a daughter by his second wife.
"Beck" [as he was familiarly called] was a typical Yankee, and was widely known as a peddler and auctioneer. He was of a very jovial nature, a person of quick wit and a great joker, and took a joke on himself with good grace. He will be pleasantly remembered by his friends.
