Beenblossom (1856-1928) on August 22, 1880 in Washington County, Iowa. They had two identified children. **** Died at her home in Washington County, Iowa, Wednesday July 29, 1885, of consumption, Amanda Beenblossom, nee Lewis, in the 31st year of her age. Deceased came to Iowa with her parents, Jesse and Martha Lewis, in the spring of 1865. About the year 1872, under the labors of Elder N. H. Phillips, she made a profession of religion and united with the Shiloh Christian Church of which she was a worthy member up to the time of her death, which was in the triumph of a living faith in her Redeemer. On August 22, 1880, she was married to Perry A. Beenblossom, who with two little children and many friends and relatives, are left to mourn their loss. She was faithful in all life's duties and beloved by all. Her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery ay Shiloh Chapel, July 30, 1885, amid a large assembly of sorrowing relatives and friends. The funeral series were conducted by Elder Fordyce, a former pastor of the church. The relatives of the deceased tender their thanks to the large circle of friends for the uniform kindness, assistance, and sympathy. Her sickness was long, and suffering great, but borne with patience and Christian resignation. Washington, Iowa Gazette **** Amanda Olive, first daughter of Martha Smith and Jesse Lewis, (daughter of Esther Ann Carter, daughter of Isaac P. Carter), was born April 9, 1855, Wheeling, Delaware county, Indiana; died July 29, 1885, Washington county, Iowa. The spring she was ten years old she with her parents and family moved in a wagon, camping out by the way to Washington county, Iowa, where they had bought a farm five miles south of Washington. The farm was partly improved, but the building of a new house and barn and clearing the brush and wood off of the land made plenty of work for all of them of which she did her full share. Before she was of age she learned to cut and make the children's clothes while the mother was busy at other duties of the home which suited her better, occasionally weaving a web of cloth or carpet for the family. There was a school house on the farm, where she attended school, but the many cares of life prevented her from attending regularly enough to get a good education. Perry Beenblossom, son of Nelson and Clarrisa (Jacobs) Beenblosoom, was born Feb. 29, 1856, Washington county, Iowa; died 19 His parents were natives of the United States. He grew to manhood in the neighborhood where he was born, attending church and school and the amusements of their young single life with his future wife. In large families with the care and expense of food and clothing and with the desire to lay up something for them in the future, the schooling is sometimes neglected, as was the case with these families, but their learning made good citizens of them and they made their way to financial success. Amanda Olive Lewis and Perry Beenblossom were married August 22, 1880, Washington county, Iowa. To them two children were born: Harry Alva, October 5, 1881, Washington county, Iowa; died 19 Annie Maud, May 19, 1884, Washington county, Iowa; died 19 They went to housekeeping on a farm that joined the homestead and engaged in farming, remaining there two years, when they went to an eighty acre farm that they had purchased on the prairie a few miles southwest of Ainsworth, paying what was then called a high price for it, but it is now worth three times as much and although they went in debt for it he paid it out in good time and now has a well improved farm. She was not permitted to stay very long with him to help him in his pleasant home, as consumption took her away ere five years of married life was passed. One of his sisters that stayed with them during her sickness, took charge of the house and the six or seven years he was a widower, took care of the children for him so that they had a good home. He married Miss Elizabeth Stewart, of Benton county, who took charge of the house and was a good stepmother to the children, teaching them to do the work about the house and poultry yard, as she was a woman that worked hard and took care of what they had. One of the children is now married and the other in Chicago, a stenographer in a business house, an occupation which she likes to work at and the old folks have the house and farm to themselves. Their parents were members of the [Old] Christian church and they grew up attending church and school together, both uniting with the church in their youth and were faithful attendants at church and Sunday school always ready to do their part. She was one of God's noble women, beloved and honored by those who knew her and her children bless God for a good mother. After his second marriage he and his wife attended the Methodist Episcopal church in Washington, uniting with that church. History of Isaac P.
