  He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Beachley and was born on the 
Beachley farm midway between Somerset and Berlin, along the old Plank Road.  He 
moved to the eastern shore of Maryland 36 years ago, with other members of his

member of the Board of Commissioners of Somerset County; Mrs. James Maust, 
Somerset, R.D. 5; Mrs. Ella Miller, Easton, Md.; Mrs. Ada Coleman and Mrs. Verda 
Cober, both of Wittman, Md.; also by a number of nieces and nephews.  Mr. 
Beachley never married and his sister, Mrs. Cober, a widow, was his housekeeper.
  His body was brought to the Johnson Funeral Home, Berlin, where it was viewed 
by friends until Sunday at 2:30 p.m., when funeral services were held in the 
Beachdale Church of the Brethren of which he was a member.  Rev. A. Jay 
Replogle, officiated.  A very large number of friends came to pay tribute to his 
memory.  Interment was made in the Beachdale Cemetery, under the direction of 
Johnson & Son.
