Read More	The Clearfield Enterprise Thursday, November 14, 1929 Mrs. Martha Beamer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Stephenson, was born February 22, 1844, in the state of Pennsylvania. Early in life she moved to Ringgold county, Iowa, where she became the wife of Zadock Beamer. They were among the early pioneers of this section of the state and knew all the hardships and discomforts of pioneer life. To this union were born seven children, but the parents had the sad experience of losing five of them in childhood. They farmed in the vicinity of Clearfield for 46 years and then moved in to Clearfield. Her husband departed this life in 1916. In May of this year Mrs. Beamer accompanied her son and his family to Windom, Minnesota, to spend the summer. In early July she suffered a fall that broke her hip. Her advanced age made recovery an impossibility. She entered the Bethel Mennonite Deaconess hospital at Mountain Lake, Minnesota, August 2, where all possible was done for her but to no avail. Late in October her condition steadily grew worse, and her death occurred Saturday, November 2, 1929, at 9:08 p. m. Her son, E. D. Beamer, was at her bedside when the end came. The body was taken to her old home at Clearfield, Iowa, to be laid to rest by the grave of her husband. Mrs. Beamer's last days were full of suffering but her patience and her Christian faith were remarkable. Nurse Margaret Friesen, who cared for her, requested permission to pay her the following tribute: "Mrs. Martha Beamer entered the Old People's Home at Mountain Lake, Minn., August 2, 1929. Upon entering the institution she was not suffering much pain but was bed fast. Her suffering increased gradually as weeks and months went by. The last six weeks of her life here, on this earth, were those of intense suffering. "In spite of pain and discomfort, Mrs. Beamer always looked on the bright side of life. She was a most pleasant and cheerful patient. Much of her time was spent in prayer, especially remembering her daughter and son. Her sweet, Christian life lives after her. "Nurse Margaret Friesen cared for her during her entire time here and always found it a pleasure to care for her. "She loved to sing the songs, "There's a Land That is Fairer than Day," and "The Unclouded Day." She has gone to be with Him who loved her and gave Himself for her." Funeral services were held at the U. P. Church on Wednesday at 2:00, Rev. H. B. Hutchman officiating. Interment was in Clearfield Cemetery.
