Young Babe Suffocates

Infant Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Beach Dies in Peculiar Manner.

A six-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Beach, of Battle Creek, met 
death in a peculiar manner at the home of Alonzo Evans, in Sebewa township, 
Saturday morning.  Mrs. Beach, who was formerly employed at the Evans home, had 
been visiting there for several days, being accompanied by her husband and 
children.  All were in apparent good health when members of the household 
retired Friday evening, but when Mrs. Evans, who was sleeping with two of her 
children, awoke early Saturday morning, the younger child was gasping for 
breath and died within a few moments.  All attempts to revive the child were 
unavailable, and it is believed suffocation was the cause of death.  The little 
tot’s remains were laid to rest in the Danby township cemetery Monday.

[Transcriber’s Note:  I have transcribed this obituary as it was printed in the 
newspaper.  However, there is a note on the obituary card that the child was a 
son, citing Ionia County death record #C-129.]
