By 1870, George moved to Chester and lived with his son George Beeby Jr. at 114 East 4th Street, for many years. George Beeby Sr. continued to work as a carpenter/builder all his life in the booming town of Chester, and his son George Beeby Jr. worked as a real estate agent and later as a clerk. In 1885, George Beeby Sr. was working as a sash maker and his son was working as a real estate agent.
In January of 1902, George's wife Anna Jane preceded him in death. Just six months later, George Beeby Sr. died from measles during a small pox outbreak at Chester. By this time, he had been living at 218 South Washington Street. He was buried next to his wife at Chester Rural Cemetery, across from the Chester Hospital. Following is his obituary, published in the Chester Times on July 4, 1902:
