Death came as a gradual and natural culmintion of a long illness with diabetes. Rose Kidd was born in Wabash, the daughter of Major Meredith Kidd, former prominent lawyer of Wabash, at the old Kidd residence, on Maple Street, now used as the Christian Science Church. Major Kidd is well remembered in Wabash, and for many years served in the Civil War. For the past 40 years, Dr. Beere has been a practicing physician and at one time was in service in the Phillippine Islands and in Japan. Afterwards, she was made the head physician of the Denver government hospital. When her health began to fail, she left Denver for Washington, D.C., to live with her two sons who are there in government employment. For the past year, she had been confined at the Washington government hospital. Dr. Beere will be remembered by many of the older residents in Wabash. She visited twice in Wabash during the past two years at the homes of Charles Haas, a cousin, and Mrs. Mae McHenry. She is survived by her three sons, two sisters, Mrs. Lela Kidd Noftzger of Wichita, Kansas, and Miss Alice Kidd of Los Angeles, California. The body was cremated and will arrive in Wabash Monday morning to be taken immediately to the Jones Chapel. A few friends will gather at the chapel, but no services are to be conducted. #Burial will be made in Falls Cemetery. NEWS - Plain Dealer, Wabash (IN) - May 30, 1927 Wabash has produced few more brilliant women than Dr. Rose Kidd Beere, whose death occurred the other day, nor one who rendered more efficient service to her country. Gifted with a keen intelligence and magnetic personality, and coming to have had a wide experience in the world of men. Dr. Beere was an unusual woman and had many brilliant qualities. Her friends here, of many years' standing, recalled the other day when they gathered at the Charles Haas home and walked behind her soldier son as he carried her ashes from the house just before going to the cemetery, how she had come here two years ago and during a sojourn of four or five days renewed, as it were, the friendships of an earlier day. She stayed at the Indiana Hotel and there she and her friends had a good many reminiscent gatherings and the latter listened, too, to numerous interesting experiences, for Dr. Beere had known many lands and many people. Dr. Beere's father and son were army majors, but they probably never gave a more loyal service to their counrty than Dr. Beere herself. She was most widely known by her services during the Spanish-American War. Spending her childhood and early girlhood in Wabash, Rose Kidd married Edmund Beere, a lawyer. He died 33 years ago in St. Paul, Minnesota. A teacher before her marriage, Dr. Beere took up medicine after the birth of her three sons, and attained great prominence in the medical profession. When the Spanish-American War broke out, she was the first woman given permission to go on a government transport by order of the secretary of war. Sailing from San Francisco August 20, 1898, with a corps of seven Red Cross nurses, from California and Oregon, Dr. Beere took complete charge of the Manila government hospital on her arrival there. Six long months Dr. Beere supervised the work of caring for the wounded before any government nurses arrived to aid her. While the guns of battle roared, the "ministering angel," as she came to be called, day and night passed through the hospital wards to relieve suffering or to bring word of peace to those whose life was ebbing away. In September, 1926, Dr. Beere received a signal honor in Denver, when she was given membership in the United States Spanish War veterans organizations. She was the first woman to be given such membership and the ceremony was at the Fitzimmons government hospital where she was recovering from six months' illness. Before she became a national character, Dr. Beere held important state and civic positions in Denver. She was superintendent of the state home for dependent children and assistant county physician before she sailed for Manila. Later she was a member of the state board of arbitration, assistant health commissioner and superintendent of the county hospital. Her sons, Donald G. Beere, former lieutenant colonel with the Eighty-second division in the World War; Stearns Kidd Beere, oil drilling contractor in the California fields and former sergeant in the World War; and Robert Morrison Beere, Panhandle oil scout and writer for petroleum publications.
