OBITUARY June 16, 1904 "Emporia Gazette" Emporia, Kansas Thomas Beers died this morning at 2 o'clock at the family home on West Fifth Avenue after a long illness. Mr. Beers was born in 1834 in Connecticut and moved to Illinois where he enlisted for three years in a regiment that went out of Chicago in the Civil War. At the end of the three years, he reenlisted and served throughout the war in the Seventh Illinois and the Thirteenth Missouri. He was married to Mary McColloch in 1868 in Monticello, Indiana. They came to Emporia in 1869 where they had lived ever since with the exception of one year that they lived in Independence. Mr. Beers could tell many interesting bits about early Lyon County history. He was undersheriff for two terms, in 1874 and again in 1882, and lived in the old courthouse. One of his sons, Will Beers, was born there. The news of the tearing down of the old courthouse affected him strongly. Mr. Beers also put up the fountain on the courthouse lawn. At Independence, Mr. Beers was deputized as an officer in the hunt for the famous Benders and arrested the people who were supposed to be that gang, but who were afterward released on a writ of habeas corpus. Mr. Beers's health had been bad for years and for the past four months, he had been almost helpless. A stroke of paralysis, with heart and stomach trouble, finally became too much for his enfeebled constitution, and his passing was as a child falling asleep. During the years that he had been unable to lead an active life, his garden and lawn occupied much of his time and his neighbors on West Fifth have missed his welcoming greeting this summer. His greatest pride was his children, all of whom are upright men and women who have never failed in honoring their parents. Mrs. Beers had been her husband's faithful and untiring nurse and his appreciation was daily shown. One son, Lovett Beers, left here last Saturday after a two week visit. His home is in New York City. Will Beers lives in Emporia as do also the daughters, Gussie McCord, Nannie Beers, and Zilla Beers. The family has the sympathy of a great many friends. One son by a former marriage, Charles Beers, lives in El Reno, Oklahoma. He has been telegraphed and may be here for the funeral. The funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the home and will be conducted by Rev. S. C. Kerr. The interment will be made in Maplewood Cemetery.
