JOHN W. BEAMESDERFER

  John W. Beamesderfer, aged 89 years, died at the home of his son, David 
Beamesderfer, on Brandywine street, on New Year's eve, of general debility.  
Deceased was well known and highly respected by the older families of the 
city and was a consistant and life-long member of the Lutheran church.  
Before leaving here 30 years ago he was employed by the late G. Dawson 
Coleman, at Mt. Lebanon.  He resided at Union Deposit until two months ago, 
when he returned and made his home with his son.  Samuel Beamesderfer, of 
Philadelphia and Mrs. Mary MacFarlen, of this city, are surviving children, 
while grandchildren and great-grandchildren numbering nearly a hundred 
reside in this city.  The funeral services were held at the house this 
morning by Rev. P. C. Croll and interment was made at the Lutheran cemetery, 
at Union Deposit.
