Chico Record (Chico, California) 28 Jul 1931, Tuesday Page 3: Rites Held For Mary Beightol. Mrs. Mary N. Beightol was laid to rest in the Chico Cemetery yesterday, after services had been conducted in the Bicknell & Moore chapel by the Rev. O.P. Harish of Durham.
Solos were sung by Mrs. M.E. Lorimer. Pall bearers were S.G. Lewis, W.E. Welch, Frank Edgar, M.E. Lorimer, A.E. Lilygren and George Cunningham. ~~~ 76-year-old Mary Naoma Beightol was interred, per the Chico Cemetery Association Records, in the plot noted, on July 27, 1931.∼Mary Naomi Virginia, fourth child of Henry and Mary Lease, was born August 2, 1854, at Washington, Iowa. At the age of three years she moved with her parents to a farm 5 1/2 miles northwest of Sumner where she lived until her marriage to W.J. Beightol on January 9, 1876, at the place which is now Linden Park of West Union.
Into this home were born three children, Jessie and William James who died in infancy and Elsie, now living at Sacramento. Mr. and Mrs. Beightol and Elsie lived at Linden Park until 1892 when they moved to her home in the north part of Sumner. Mr. Beightol passed away November 10, 1894.
After the death of her son-in-law, C.F. Ladwig, she took the litle two year old granddaughter, now Mrs. Tyler, and cared for her until she was 16 years of age, when she went to live with her mother in California. Since that time Mrs. Beightol kept up her home alone until last August when she accompanied the granddaughter in California. She was active up to the time of her death on July 24, suffering no long period of illness.
She leave to mourn her death beside the daughter and granddaughter, three great-granddaughters, six brothers and three sisters, Mrs. L.M. Madden of Anthony, Kansas, N.M. Lease of Pearson, Iowa, H.B. Lease, W.H Lease, R.E. Lease, J.A. Lease, Mrs. W.G. Krause and Mrs. C.W. Pennington of Sumner, beside other relatives and a host of friends.
Mrs. Beightol was a great lover of her home and flowers and it was a familiar sight to see her going to help some neighbor or friend, bearing a gift of blossoms from her garden. She was never known to fail anyone whom she might serve, and her friends were numbered by her acquaintances. [Waverly paper - 1938] |
