Death of Carl Beastock
This community was shocked Sunday morning to hear of the death of Carl Beastock, one of
the pioneers of this community. Some few days ago he injured his hand, the wound was a
small one and not paid much attention to, but blood poison set in and then gangrene and in
only a few hours his soul took its flight to its maker. Mr. Beastock has resided in this
community for over twenty years and his death has caused deep sorrow in the hearts of his
many friends. He was born in Germany some 53 years ago, came to America with his parents
when a boy and has made this community his home a greater share of the time. He leaves a
wife and five children to mourn his loss and friends by the score. He was a member of the
German Lutheran Church and was a true Christian, and man everyone liked. The funeral
services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev: Ehlers and the
remains laid to rest in the Lutheran Cemetery south of town. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved ones in their sorrow.
Note: there are no tombstone or city records for Carl Beastock or
a variation that is similar for the last name.
The Lutheran Cemetery south of town mentioned in the obituary is probably referring to the
Manning City Cemetery because other obituaries of this time frame refer to the cemetery
south of town. At this same time there was a Catholic Cemetery referenced as northeast of town.
I'm occasionally adding the actual scanned image of the obituary I make using my VERY expensive - large commercial scanner,
and/or also other articles about the deceased person that were published in the Manning Monitor.
I want to also comment about people who are taking my obituaries, pictures, and/or other articles about a person/family and posting them on other websites.
You do NOT have permission or the right to do this - you are stealing my historical work.
Buy your own scanning equipment, pay for memberships to other commercial websites,
and spend decades working on your local history like I have - then you'll understand why I'm making these comments!
Thank you for your attention to this matter - Dave Kusel
