Beeson, Grace Beeson, nee Hilliard

GRACE   BEESON   DIED   A   NATURAL   DEATH

Blood  Tests  Done  At  Evansville  Revealed  No  Gas  Fumes  Content;  Rites  Are  Held

        The death of Mrs. Grace Beeson, of the Oak Valley neighborhood northwest of Geff, Friday morning has been determined as due to natural causes.

        Coroner Robert McNeill told the Press blood samples taken from Mrs. Beeson and Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Russell, with whom Mrs. Beeson was staying, proved negative as to gas fumes content.  A local doctor had indicated his belief that Mrs. Beeson's death and the illness of both Mr. and Mrs. Russell was due to gas asphyxiation.

        The blood was tested by an Evansville pathologist.

        It has been determined that Mrs. Beeson's death was due to a stroke.  She had been checked by a Cisne physician Thursday evening and at that time her blood pressure was considered very high.

        There will be no inquest.

        Mrs. Beeson was dead on arrival at Memorial hospital at 6:30 Friday morning.

                                                                               Signs  of  Asphyxiation

        A local physician told Coroner Robert McNeill that Mrs. Beeson and Mr. and Mrs. Russell, who were both admitted to Memorial Hospital for treatment, showed signs of such gas asphyxiation.

        Mr. Russell and wife, Bertha, both age 73, are listed in "good" condition Monday (today) by hospital authorities.

                                                                                   Had  Heart  Conditions

        Mr. and Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Beeson are all reported to have had heart conditions.  Mrs. Beeson, the widow of the late Fred Beeson, went to the Russell home in the Oak Valley neighborhood a month ago to help care for Mrs. Russell, who had been very poorly.

        According to authorities, Mrs. Russell apparently fell at her home about 6 o'clock Friday morning.  Mr. Russell went to awaken Mrs. Beeson to help him with his wife and found Mrs. Beeson unconscious in her bed.

                                                                               Summoned  Ambulance

        Mr. Russell summoned DeSelms ambulance and he rode in the front seat with Gene DeSelms in taking the two women to the hospital.  A few minutes after arriving at the hospital Mr. Russell became very ill and was admitted with his wife.

        Coroner McNeill expressed a belief Mrs. Beeson was dead when found by Mr. Russell.  The coroner said that a gas heating stove at the Russell home was turned on early Friday morning but this apparently did not emit fumes or cause Mrs. Beeson's death.

        Mrs. Beeson's body was removed to DeSelms Funeral Home.  Funeral services were held Monday afternoon (today) from Oak Valley Church, with Bro. Jesse Miller officiating.  Interment was in the church cemetery.

        Mrs. Beeson was born March 17th, 1889, the daughter of David and Lucinda Hilliard.

        Her husband, Fred, died six years ago.  Mrs. Beeson was a member of Rock Branch Church.

                                                                                   The  Survivors

        Surviving are two sons, James and David Beeson, both of Fairfield; three daughters, Mrs. George (Eleanor) Yanakis, of Chicago; Mrs. Owen (Dorothy) Weaver, of Johnsonville; and Mrs. Ira (Marilyn) Jett, of Hawaii; four brothers, Ralph Hilliard of Harvey; Roy Hilliard of Geff; Floyd Hilliard, of Millington; and Herschel Hilliard, of Cisne; and one sister, Mrs. Olaf Simpson, of Kinmundy; 18 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.

     Now the laborer's task is over;

     Now the battle day is past;

     Now upon the farther shore

     Lands the voyager at last.

     Father, in thy gracious keeping

     Leave we now thy servant sleeping.
