president of the Orlando Bank & Trust Company, and proprietor of the San Juan Hotel,
HARRY L. BEEMAN was born at Cleveland, Ohio, January 11, 1864, a son of Dr. E. E. and MARY(COBB) BEEMAN, and a grandson of AHIRA COBB,
HARRY L. BEEMAN was educated in his native state and began his business career as an employee of the mercantile firm of Strong & Cobb at Cleveland. Three years later, in 1882, he became a member of the newly organized firm of Doctor Beeman & Son, manufacturers of pepsin, which
shortly afterward became the Beeman Chemical Company, which manufactured and distributed the Doctor Beeman's Pepsin Chewing Gum, Mr. BEEMAN's father having originated this famous confection. For the next few years he devoted himself closely to the business of the firm, but by 1887
symptoms of ill health began to manifest themselves and he very sensibly took note of them and decided on a period of rest in Florida.
When Mr. BEEMAN came to Orlando in 1887, he found much more that was attractive here than genial climate, and very soon found himself in friendly association with his neighbors and considering business prospects, with the idea of making this his permanent home. Thus it came about that he purchased the San Juan Hotel, then a three-story brick structure that had been erected by
H. S. KEDNEY in 1887. In 1901 Mr. BEEMAN added two more stories and made other improvements, continuing to improve it from year to year and in 1922 an addition was added, at an approximate cost of $575,000, of an eight-story steel structure reinforced by concrete and modern throughout
its entire extent. The San Juan Hotel now has 241 guest rooms, and in size, appearance, equipment and comfort is second to none in Florida.
In 1891 Mr. BEEMAN married Miss MARIE ST. CYR, of St. Louis, Missouri, and they have one son, EDWIN P., who is manager of the San Juan Hotel.
Mr. BEEMAN has numerous other business interests and responsibilities. He is president of the
Orlando Bank & Trust Company and owns an orange grove and a large ranch. The ranch he devotes to raising cattle and hogs, and it is a very profitable enterprise. Soon after coming to Florida he invested in land in Orange County and put out an orange grove, and has never disposed of this
valuable property.
In Masonry he has attained the Knights Templar degree and is a Shriner.
Between 1/1/1907 abd 12/31/1908 Mr Beeman has 2 Cadillac's with Florida State Registrations.
