BEASMORE, ANNIE nee KINNEY WATSON
Roseville Tribune and Register, Wednesday, 5-2-1930 Mrs. Annie Beasmore Will Be Buried Today
Funeral services for Mrs. Annie Beasmore, 83, a resident of Rocklin for more than forty years, will be held at the graveside in the Rocklin Cemetery at 2 o'clock today. Mrs. Beasmore died at her home Tuesday evening. Surviving her are a daughter, Mrs. Minnie Kinkler of Sacramento, and two sons, James J. Watson of Sacramento and J. F. Watson of San Francisco. She also leaves 24 grandchildren and 39 great-grandchildren.
It was said that when "Aunt Annie" died in the Spring of 1930, "it was a loss the whole town felt." She and her husband John T. Beasmore were Irish immigrants who settled in Rocklin where her husband worked in the quarry. They had a little home on Grove Street where they were known for their lovely peach orchard, and their Victor Talking Machine that provided the neighborhood entertainment, especially on "warm summer evenings". After her husband lost his arm in a quarry accident, they operated a candy store and ice cream parlor in downtown Rocklin. In addition to providing the sweets at the store, Annie provided midwife assistance and home remedies to the community. Her husband John died in 1908. They were survived by a daughter Margaret Kinkler, her two sons by a previous marriage, and a granddaughter, Pauline (Kinkler) Herman.
