Obituary
Rachel Beasley, nee Wantland, was born in Maury county, Tenn. December 20th, 1806 and died at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Higbee, south of Burden, Kansas, September 20th, 1898, having attained the ripe old age of 91 years and 2 months.
In 1826 she was married to Mr. J. W. Beasley. this union was blessed with ten children, of whom eight survive the mother. In 1878 she came to Cowley County, Kansas where she has resided ever since.
Grandma Beasley was at one time a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and although in later years she held no outward connection to the church, she was nevertheless, known as a pious woman.
the vital connection with the true vine, Jesus Christ, is the one that is essential.
The funeral services held at the home were in charge of Rev. Henry J. dueker of Burden. The interment was in the Burden Cemetery.
Such a life of longivity as that of Grandma Beasley helps us to realize how fast we are making history.
She lived under the administrations of 22 presidents, all but two. during her life time the United States waged four great wars, the war of 1812, the Mexican war, the civil war and the Hispano-American war.
During her days slavery was abolished in the United States, the West Indies and in the year of her birth in some British possessions other that those in the West Indies.
When she was born there was not in existance one steamboat, nor steamship, not one locomotive engine, not one mile of railroad, no telegraph, no telephone, no electric light, no electric motor car, no cable car, no reaper.
For over fourteen years she was a contemporary of Napoleon Bonaparte. She was twelve years old when Queen Victoria was born. At that time all this western country was the home of the wild buffalo and the Indian almost as wild. Illinois and Wisconsin had just Began organized into a territory.
Chicago had no existence. It is now a city with a population of 1,8000,000.
This are just a few of the things that occurred during the life time of one monogenarian just passed to her "long home"
"Young America" should respect old age; for many of those old people have forgotten more of what they learned by experience than one hundred or more of these upstarts will ever know. The Chinese are wise in that they respect aged people. Let us do likewise...
