WELL KNOWN YOUNG MAN DEAD
Roswell Beebe, aged 23, son of Mrs. and Mrs. A.R. Beebe, died last night at St. Joseph Hospital, South Bend.
Roswell Beebe, aged 23 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.R. Beebe, passed away last evening at St. Joseph Hospital at South Bend, where he was taken a week ago yesterday for treatment for diabetes from which he has been a sufferer for several years.
The body was brought to Niles last evening and taken to the family home north of the city.
The death of the young man is a sad blow to the parents and family, who had expected he would recover. He was highly esteemed in the neighborhood and by a host of friends.
Mr. Beebe was born at the present home of his parents, four miles north of Niles and had always resided at the family home.
Besides his parents he is survived by two brothers, Arthur and Lyle Beebe. The latter is also a patient at St. Joseph Hospital, while recuperating from injuries received when an automobile in which he was riding was struck by an interurban car and Frank Sparks with whom he was riding was killed. The parents are therefore ill prepared to bear the causing sorrow of the death of their son.
The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 12 o’clock from the house. Interment will occur at Silver Brook Cemetery.
