Florence Alberta Mentz was the daughter of William Charles Mentz and Florence Lillian Bevens. She married James Thomas Beadle in 1910. They had a daughter, Virginia, in 1911. Then, on 27 January, 1913 son James was born. Tragically, he lived only 2 hours. Premature Birth is listed as cause of death. Florence died less than two months later of acute miliary tuberculosis.
James was buried at Saint Paul's Lutheran Cemetery in Ardmore where his father, grandfather, and other family members were laid to rest. Florence was interred at Monument Cemetery, where her parents and other relatives would later join her.
When Monument Cemetery was unconscionably destroyed to make a parking lot for Temple University, the interred were to be moved to Lawnview. Evidence shows, sadly, that many ended up in a mass grave, and the markers and statuary were used as pilings for the Betsy Ross Bridge. Some of the granite funerary monuments can be seen in the Delaware River beneath the bridge at low tide. https://thecemeterytraveler.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-monument-cemetery-was-destroyed.html
