DEATH OF MRS. WM. K. BEARD.
The Estimable Wife of the Well-Known Master Carpenter Passes Away.

  Mrs. Hannah H. Beard, the estimable master carpenter of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad, died this morning at five minutes past eight 
o'clock.  Death occurred at the apartments occupied by Mr. Beard on the 
second floor of the Brimmer building, No. 153 1/2 North Queen street.
  Pneumonia was the cause of Mrs. Beard's death.  One week ago Friday 
Mrs. Beard was taken ill, and the attending physician pronounced the 
malady from which she was suffering as la grippe.  Mrs. Beard had 
improved greatly, and no serious outcome of the disease was 
apprehended.
  During Monday Mrs. Beard suffered a relapse and was attacked with a 
chill.  Pneumonia was developed and her condition became critical.  A 
slight improvement was noticed on Friday, but about eight o'clock in 
the evening a change for the worse took place and all hopes of recovery 
were blasted.
  Deceased was born in Wilmington, Delaware.  Her maiden name was 
Hannah H. Emons.  Her unexpected death will be a great shock to her 
many friends and acquaintances.  She was a most estimable lady, kind 
and gentle, and her death will be sincerely mourned by the community.  
Heartfelt sympathy is extended to the bereaved husband, in this, his 
hour of great affliction.
  Deceased is a sister of Charles Emons, foreman of carpenters, of 
Columbia; Mrs. Susan Smalley, of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. Randolph Flah, 
of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Harrison Emons, of Philadelphia.
  Deceased leaves one daughter, Alice, wife of Lintner Hess, of Los 
Angeles, California.  In the early part of October Mrs. Beard and Mrs. 
Charles Emons journeyed to California on a visit to Mrs. Hess.  The 
ladies returned on December 15.
  Mrs. Beard was a devout member of the Duke street M. E. church.  The 
funeral will take place on Tuesday afternoon from the church.
