Beauchamp, consort of Sabird Beauchamp, Esq., and mother of Mrs. F.M. Brooks, of this city. She was the daughter of the Hon. Charles McCall, of Effingham county, who for many years represented that county in the Legislature of the State. She with her husband and family, removed from Georgia to Texas in 1856, where she resided up to the time of her death. Thus has passed from earth to heaven one of the best and purest women that ever lived. She was for more than 50 years a devout and consistent member of the Methodist church. Her piety was deep but undemonstrative, and she, in a very eminent degree, possessed that greatest of all gifts, charity, for she was rarely, if ever, known to speak unkindly of any one. She leaves an aged and devoted husband, and a large family of affectionate children. Her last illness was log and painful and her bodily sufferings most intense, which she bore without a murmur. She spoke sweetly and calmly of her death, and expressed the fullest assurance of her readiness to die, and requested her husband and children to meet her in that bright and better world above. May they all heed the solemn admonition, and may her many bright virtues and christian graces be remembered and imitated by those she left behind. F. M. B. Columbus Ga.
