"R.W. Beebe, one of the old and respected citizens of Blunt, died at the hospital Sunday, from pneumonia, he having been taken there several days previous. His wife and children were in Brookings, and Mrs. Beebe reached his bedside a short time before he expired. Monday the remains were taken to Blunt for burial, theG.A.R. and Masonic fraternities to which he belonged, forming an escort to the train. Mr. Beebe came to Blunt in 1883, where he started a general store and other business. He was always known as a good citizen, husband and father, and died possessed of much wealth. His three sons were attending school at Brookings and were summoned to his beside, as well as his daughter, Miss Flossie."
Blunt Advocate Newspaper, March 2, 1906:
"In the death of Mr. Beebe, Blunt loses one of its best known and foremost citizens. He was essentially a thorough, enterprising business man of sterling integrity. Quiet and unassuming in general demeanor, the hours, weeks and years of his active life were largely occupied in the conduct of business operations so varied and extensive as to overcome many physically better able to withstand the strain than he. He successively and successfully engaged in banking, dealt in lumber, coal, horses, cattle, sheep, wool, general merchandise and machinery, and conducted a hotel, generally operating half a dozen lines of business at once.
During these years of activity there were few days when he did not unmurmuringly suffer pain from wounds received during his service with the Fourth Minnesota Volunteers during the Civil war and he carried to the grave, embedded in his body, a leaden memento of the battlefield.
On the occasions when Mr. Beebe mingled socially with his friends at their homes, or when the doors of his own home were thrown open to friends and neighbors, he was the soul of geniality and hospitality, and it was an easy matter for the serious business man to become the life of the gathering. In a quiet and modest way he was always philanthropic and public-spirited, a well balanced man whose superior judgment and advice were often sought and acted upon to
advantage by others-in brief, a man who will be truly missed."
