Beemon Sandford Boone County Recorder, dated May 27, 1903....pg. 1, col. 3, "Belleview": "The subject of this notice was most worthy of consideration. She lived a beautiful life, and died peacefully and tranquil, Thursday May 11, 1903. Her maiden name was Beemon, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Salathiel Beemon. She was born October 29, 1861, and was a little beyond the half century mark when she died. She married Timothy Sandford, December 25th 1878. To them were born two sons and a daughter, whom she had diligently trained for usefulness in this life. She acknowledged her faith in the Savior eighteen years ago, since which time she had been his consistent follower. Her faith in the Savior, Bible and the church to which she belonged was deep Iike the mighty ocean, and as immovable as the eternal hills. She left this world happy in anticipation of the life upon which she was to enter. May God, out of His grace bless and comfort the bereaved husband and children, and may we cherish the memory of her who was gentle, loving, ind and true, and emulate her walk in this life. The remains were interred in the new cemetery at Bellevue at 5 p. m. , on the 16th inst., in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives, who were in deep sympathy with those who mourned the death of a daugher, sister, wife and mother. C.H.A. (Date of Mrs. Sandford's death you have wrong if her age is correctly stated. --ED.)"
