DR. ABIJAH I. BEACH calmly breathed his last Tuesday morning at half past four o'clock, aged 78 years, 1 month and 19 days. He had been failing for sometime, and several weeks prior to his death was overcome with a stupor which lasted until the end came. He could scarcely move any part of his body, and was apparently unconscious of everything around him. His life was one of much activity and enterprise, and he accumulated considerable wealth. His executors are F.M. Fitting of this place, L.J. Bonar of Mansfield, and Mr. McIntire of Mt. Vernon. The funeral took place Wednesday, at one o'clock, and he was buried under the auspices of the Masonic Fraternity.

DR. A.I. BEACH married a daughter of Judge Benjamin Jackson. Dr. Beach came from Connecticut and located in Bellville in 1826, and that village was ever afterwards his home. He was a college graduate and took the degree of M.D. in 1825. Dr. Beach was a brother of Moses Y. Beach, the founder, and for many years the editor of the New York Sun newspaper. The doctor was a man of culture, had traveled in Europe, and was eminent in his profession. He seemed out of his element in a village, for his attainments qualified him to be the associate of scholars and of men of renown. He accumulated property and his niece, Mrs. B.O. Smith, is his heir, as he left no children.
