October 20, 1906 Middletown Journal,
Middletown, Ohio OLDEST RESIDENT After Ninety-Seven Years Mrs. Amanda Beauchamp Gives Up Life's Struggle She was the oldest resident in Butler County After a useful career spanning almost a century, Amanda Beauchamp, died at her home in this city today at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Beauchamp was 97 years of age and has been a resident of Middletown for 80 years. She was the widow of Samuel Beauchamp. Her maiden name was Amanda Loring. She came here a sprightly young lady and has lived to see Middletown grow from a struggling hamlet on the banks of the turbid Miami to a flourishing and populous city. Those who knew her in her early days have long been laid in their graves. The incidents of other years clustered around memor's wreath as she traveled the last span of life, and the contrasts between then and now caused her to realize that the world was indeed progressing. For ten years she has been alone in her home cared for by Mrs. Myers. She lived to bury all her children save Mrs. Meserole, who resides in New York. |
