Detroit News?
I AM NOT RELATED TO THIS FAMILY IN ANY WAY, I JUST HAD THE INFORMATION AND 
WANTED TO SHARE IT.

The following obituary was found in a book that I bought called "The Book of 
Detroiters" 1908.  He does not seem to be listed in this book.

Detroit News?, December 13, 1926; page unknown

NEW DELIVERS GUIDE'S EULOGY
Postmaster-General and Other Members of Club Attend Rited for Caretaker.

With Postmarter-General Harry S. New delivering the funeral oration, services 
for Albert (Buck) Beaufort, guide and caretaker of the Turtle Lake Club, where 
held this morning in the chapel of the W. R. Hamilton Co., 3975 Cass avenue.  
The club is made up of men preminent in business and political life, and many 
of them were there to pay a last tribute to the picturesque woodsman.

Mr. New, who had tramped the forests with Beaufort for 42 years, spoke in part 
as follows:

"This friend, known to all of us as 'Buck,' will always be remembered by his 
hunting companions of Turtle Lake.  He was Turtle Lake as no other man ever 
can be.  Ever since the club was founded, 'Buck' had officiated as master of 
the hunt, and his kindliness and love of the outdoors contributed a great deal 
to our enjoyment.

"When I think of him as he was in the early days I think of a passage from 
Kipling's 'Ballad of East and West':

" 'He trod the ling like a buck in the Spring.'

"He was the breath of this great outdoors of North Michigan.  He was one of 
the few men I have ever known who, when he departed, left no enemies or bitter 
thoughts."

The Rev. W. D. Maxon of Christ Church was in charge of the services.  The 
pallbearers were Mr. New, Leslie Broad, of Alpena; Dr. J. W. Inches, William 
P.l Hollid y, Francis C. McMath and Robert H. Rayburn, all members of the 
club.  Others in attendance were Sidney T. Miller, Oscar Wabber, J.B. Webber, 
Frderal Judgy Arthur J. Tutle, Probate Judge Henry S. Hulbert, Paul F. Bagley, 
Ned Hawks, Neil McMath and Harry Bates, of Indianapolis.

The burial will be at Moorestown, Ont.
