ALBERT HENRY BEACH. 

Born in Northfield, Ct., March 19, 1833; died in Wheeling, W. Va., February 14,
1914; was the son of Isaac C. and Eunice M. Beecher Beach. 

He was a grandson of Burr Beecher, a soldier in the War of the Revolution from
the state of Connecticut. His ancestors were of New England's purest colonial
stock. He became a member of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution in West
Virginia in the year 1897, he served as President of the Society for a time and
was one of the most active and efficient members. He was reared on a farm in
Connecticut and was educated in the public schools of that state. He early
entered into business in Terryville and Hartford, Ct., and for more than a
quarter century he has been one of Wheeling's active business men. 

He was surveyor of customs for the port of Wheeling for a term of four years; he
was an active promoter of the business interests of the city of Wheeling through
his membership in the Board of Trade; he was a member of the Associated
Charities, of the Playground Association, and of the Young Men's Christian
Association. He was a member of the Masonic Fraternity, of the Masonic Club, of
Fort Henry Club, and of the Wheeling Country Club. 

In early manhood he was united in marriage to Miss Cornelia E. Mix, daughter of
Elisha and Lucy Mix, of Plymouth, Ct., who preceded him some years to the Great
Beyond. He is survived by one son, Mr. Austin Beach of Pittsburgh, Pa., who is
also a member of this Society. 

In business, the lodge, the club, benevolences, this Society and the church.
General Beach will be sadly missed. A large circle of friends cherish the 
memory of the courteous gentleman, of the competent and upright member.
