Obituary
Miss Nannie M Boone, a relative of the great Kentuckian Danl. Boone, was born near Bowlingreen, KY, in April1831. When four or five years of age, her father moved to Fayette county, Tenn.; being accompanied by her uncle the Hon. Jessie Grider who died several years since in eastern Arkansas. There she grew to womanhood, was woed, and won by Mr. T. C. Beard who did business at Moscow, Tenn. with Mr. John Dyer near which place at the home of Mrs. Beards mother, Mrs. Annie Grider Boone, they were married June 9, 1852. In December1860, before the war with its terrors came, with her husband, both then comparatively young, they left Moscow and came west settling in Brownsville where Mr. Beard was subsequently associated in business with his brother in law, Mr. Griffin, father of Mrs. F G Swaim, Bob and Emmet Griffin. The war came a year after their arrival and swept everything they had. The family remained in the town during its occupancy by the Federals , Mr. Beard being physically unable to enter the confederate service. They passed through the vicissitudes and sad scenes of the war with little remaining save their lives. For several years after the war, her husband and Mr. Griffin did business at Brownsville. Later on Mr. Beard entered the firm of Goodrum Bros., the style being Goodrum Bros and Beard; and did an extensive business situated where Dan Daniels now keeps. Afterwards he began business for himself just east of John Cox, the sign, T. C. Beard, may yet be seen. The family removed from Brownsville to Lonoke in 1871 and Mrs. Beard lived here continuously since. She lost a daughter little Annie in 1876, only 6 years old was the only death in her immediate family. She has a sister surviving her, a resident of Tennessee. The children who mourn her loss are Mrs. A. Martin, Mrs. W. P. Fletcher, W. J. Beard, John Beard, Mrs. J. J. Doyne, and Mrs. Dr Forest Corn. Mrs. Beard had an uncle Henry Grider who was quite a prominent member of congress at one time from the Bowlingreen district in the blue grass state. Before the war, after the war, at Brownville, at Lonoke, those who knew the deceased loved her most, not sick or dead one, no sad or distressed person, but Mrs. Beard was with. She was a kind hearted gracious neighbor, loveable in all life's walks and the good she did will live for years. As she grew older, she became more absorbed in her children and little grand children and was never happier than when in their midst. It was a universal sorrow expressed by our town when the news of her sudden death was given out. Many had known her in the old days and to each the sorrow was irrepressible. She was buried in the city cemetery and it is needless to say that those, whom she loved so dearly in life and for whom she made so many sacrifices, will see that the mound beneath which she lies is constantly kept green. Her aged husband surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren; remains not entirely uncomforted. His pathway as he draws nearer life's close will not be without its sunny places. Fresh candies at the Racket Store (paper and date unknown)
