Af ter a short service at the Beeson home on South Ninth street, the casket, which was covered with rare and fra grant flowers, was taken to the church and laid in front of the altar during the services. The capacity of the building was soon exhausted, many stood up in the aisles and others were turned away, not being able to secure admission.- The Cas County Bar association at tended in a body, the following mem bers being the pall-bearers: S. M. Chapman, A. N. Sullivan, Bjron Clark, Matthew Gering, R. B. Wind ham and J. L. Root. RevAsa Sleeth, the pastor, con ducted the services and preiched a most excellent sermon. The scripture lessons read were from the 19th Psalm and from the 41st to the 57th verses of the loth chapter of Corinthians. The text for his discourse was as follows: "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained: what ia man that thou art mindful of him, or the eon of man, that that thou vis- itest bim? Ps. 8:3-4." The minister then gave a graphic word picture of the immensity of the universe, witn lis myriaus oi stare, us countless planetary systems, revolving about central orbs of light and heat like the solar system, reaching into space that is so limitless as to pass the comprehension of the most profound intellect and it was in contemplation of this sublime fact which 6tirred the psalmist into glorifying and praising his Maker because of his mercy and rnr,dnega and of consideration lor so small a creature as man. At the close of the discourse Miss Gertrude Fletcher sang "Some Sweet Day" as a solo, very sweetly. After the benediction the cas ket was opened and the whole au dience in turn filed past, viewing for the last time, the familiar ft.ee of the deceased lawyer, which looked almost as natural as in life while the choir sang "Shall We Gather at the River At the close of the services the fu neral cortege took up its march for Oak Hill cemetery, a long line of car riages following: the remairs to their last resting place. Among those present from abroad were r ranK JJeeson oi Preston, me eldest son of the deceased. R. W. Bee son of Red Oak, a brother and Mrs. B'ose, a niece, and Judge Jessen of Ne braska City. Sketch of His Life. Born in u loe cabin on a farm near Hillsborough, Highland county, Obio, October 24, 1833. Alien B.eson was es sentially of a pioneer type. Ilic school ing was of that essential but unadorned character attained in a country school. An ai 111 ction to one of his limbs in boy hood unfitted him for active work on the farm, and he pursued his studies far enough to become a school teacher, meanwhile studying law with an uncle, and helping to care for a widowed mother. Practicing law to some pur pose, he attended the Cincinnati law college, from which he graduated in 1854. On June 24. 1855, he was mar riea to Miss Eliza F. McDonald at Leesbur. O.. where he resided until 1864, when he removed to Red Oak,Ia., nnd entered upon a career as a lawyer, but still bad predelections toward school matters, and a few years later was elected county superintendent His practice grew with his acquaint ance, and while not a great money maker, his advice was frequently asked is matters of great moment, and when followed was almost invariably with success and satisfaction. While living at Red Oak be was appointed district attorney to fill a vacancy and served with distinction. In 1S78 he concluded to change his residence First he went to Carthage, Mo., where he formed a partnership with a promi nent and successful attorney, and at once found himself engaged in a great mass cf business. One of the firm's cases involved mvny thousands of dol lars,but when he learned that in order to win his partner had bought off the lawyers for the opposing party, he was so disgusted with that kind of practice that be concluded be did not want to practice law in such a place, so the partnership was dissolved and he came to Cass county, settling near Green wood. In 1880 be came to Plattsmouth and has resided here since, lie at first formed a partnership with Hon S. M. Chapman, afterwards with A N. Sullivan, and still lter with J. L uoot two years ago that partner ship was dissolved and he took his son. A. J. Beeson, the present city attor ney, in with him, and who succeeds the firm. M-. Beeson was a man of sturdy honesty and good, common sense, and while be did much business, never had the faculty cf charging high fees. He had a fine sense of humor, and was the possessor of an endless fund of an ecdotes which he could ri count with good effect in illustration of his points of law and evidence. While not a great or profound lawyer, he was ordi narily successful, and enjoyed the es teem of his brothers at the bar, and the confidence and good will cf the community at large. To his children he has left the heritage of a well-spent life,and to the c immunity i io example of a quiet, law- .biding citizen, an hon est man and a faithful friend. Such men do not live in vain.
