The Ionia Standard, Friday, October 9, 1885

Again it becomes our duty to bear testimony to the worth of an eminent 
departed friend and neighbor, Mr. James Beach, who died very suddenly on 
returning from a visit to Petoskey.  Mr. Beach was born in the state of Ohio, 
1826, and at the time of his death was in his 59th year.  At the tender age of 
twenty, when boyhood is blossoming into manhood, our friend cast his fortune 
in the wilderness of Michigan, and in 1845 he settled in Orleans, where he 
continued to reside until he died.  

Mr. Beach was an acknowledged member of the United Brethren church an was 
highly respected for those noble and generous impulses which mark the man and 
the Christian gentleman, and all accorded to him not only the merit of the 
strictest integrity, but also the disposition to do kindly services to all, 
more especially to the lowly and the destitute, and as we bear the remains of 
our friend to the silent city of the dead, and there with the impressive 
ceremonies of his funeral service, tenderly and tearfully laid then down to 
the deep, still slumbers of the tomb.
