BEECHER LEMASTER 

Beecher was the last born child of Henry "App" and Nora (Prater) 
Lemaster of Falcon. 

Beecher was unable to get in the Marine Corp from his hometown. 
 He signed up with the U S Army and along with his cousin, 

Roy Conley, he made the bus ride (at Uncle Sam's expense).  After 
purposely failing the entry exam he was dismissed and promptly sought
out the Marine Recruting office where he joined up.  His goal had 
been to gain access to the recruiting office in the first place.

After he joined the Marine Corp as a young teen, he made a career in 
the military.  He retired after 20 years and made his home in Fayetteville, 
North Carolina.  After retirement he became head mechanic at Valley 
Volkswagon until illness forced his retirement from that.

Beecher married Ellen Anders of Clinton, North Carolina and together 
they had 4 children: 

Marjorie Lynn, James David, Nore Beth and Lare Marie 

Beecher died in April 1983 and is buried on base at Fort Bragg, 
North Carolina
