  Dr. C. Wood Beachy, 67, well known Cumberland dentist, died Wednesday morning, 
Feb. 21, in Memorial Hospital, to which he was admitted the preceding Sunday.  
He had been in ill health for some time.
  He was a native of Salisbury, Pa., the son of the late Dr. G. J. and Mrs. Emma 
(Neff) Beachy.  
  He was graduated from Baltimore Dental College in 1902 and returned to 
Cumberland where he was associated in the dental profession with his father, who 
was a native of Garrett County and who practiced dentistry in Somerset County, 
Pa., and Allegany County, Md., for more than 50 years.  After his father's death 
some years ago Dr. Wood Beachy practiced alone and had a large clientele.  He

in recent years, and one brother, Harry W. Beachy, Glencoe, Pa.  An elder
