Beaman W. Snow died on Tuesday, Feb. 6th 1906 at his residence on South
Madison street in this city; he was born in South Hadley, Mass., Feb. 14,
1832, came west to Wisconsin in 1854 and settled in Evansville where he has
since resided. He was united in matrimony to Miss Julia A. Preston, March
22, 1855, with whom he lived most happily. Two children came to this union,
Mrs. Alice T. Jenkins of Rockford, Ill., and Mrs. Flora Hubbard of this
city: these with the grandchildren, Mrs. Bertha Ollman, of Rockford, Ray W.
and Neva Hubbard of this city, and Mrs. Snow are left to mourn the loss of
one of the kindest of husbands, a most affectionate father, and a
grandfather whose life was a benediction.

The funeral services were held on Thursday afternoon, from the residence.
Deceased enlisted in the second Brigade, Fourth Division, Fifteenth Army
Corps Feb. 25th 1864, he served his country well and was honorably
discharged at the expiration of his term of enlistment; he was a member of
the T. L. Sutphen Post G. A. R., of this city, which organization and the
W. R. C. attended the funeral in a body; the services were under the
auspices of the G. A. R. Colonel E. O. Kimberley of Janesville, an intimate
Comrade of Mr. Snow and leader of the regiment band was in attendance at
the funeral, and delivered a fine eulogy, as well as singing in a most
touching manner two excellent solos, "Remembrance" and "Nearer My God to
Thee." The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. Mr. Snow was a man
who came to this city in an early day, and for more than fifty years he has
watched with much pride the growth of all enterprises in our midst; he
believed in the work of the Christian church; his life in the home, and in
his neighborhood where he was most intimately known, tells a good story of
gentleness, kindness, and Christian living, he seemed resigned to the will
of God and said to one who visited him before his demise. "If I am not here
in the morning, it will be all right." 

We shall miss him; interment took place at Maple Hill; the grave was lined
with the national colors.

Among those who were here from away were, Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, Mr. and
Mrs. Ollman of Rockford, Ill., Messrs. Stone and Brandt of Janesville.

"The battle's fought and victory's won
And thou art crowned at last."
