Phoebe Ann Beebe was born Sept. 9th, 1803 at Monroe, Orange County and was the daughter of Samuel P. and Sarah Euphenia Cunningham. Her father died and was buried at Monroe when she was about fourteen years of age. Her mother soon after went West to live with her son and the daughter went to New York city to live with relatives. It was there that she met and married Elder Gilbert Beebe. They were married February 4th, 1823, by Elder Jonathan Van Velsen, who was the bride's pastor During his long ministry and their married life of nearly sixty years, she was all that a wife and mother could be to her husband and children, from whom she received in return the tenderest love and devotion.
With the exception of three years at Ramapo, NY and some months in Virginia, all her married life was spent at New Vernon and Middletown - here since 1847 She was a lady of great force of character, of decided convictions, but charitable judgement and most loving and lovable disposition. Those who knew her best loved her most. The news of her death will awaken feelings of profound sympathy for her family throughout the Old School Baptist connection, in which her husband was wildly known and loved, and will bring a sense of loss to many who knew her personally.
