| BEAVER, Sarah Elizabeth (McGUFFEY) aka Adeline (RAY) | May 30, 1843 | Oct. 27, 1879 | Inscription: "Wife of S. J. Beaver" - Research Note by Carole Dolisi Beaver: These are my thoughts on why I think the tombstone saying "Sarah E." is actually Adaline McGuffy. Can I prove it? No, but there is strong historic and time line information obtained from primary documents. I am lucky to have this Civil War Widow's Pension folder information. Without it, I would certainly think that Samuel's 2nd wife was someone named Sarah E. The tombstone clearly reads that and who would suspect that a tombstone name is wrong? This is an interesting situation. The Civil War depositions spell the name Adaline McGuffy. I, like you, thought maybe there were 2 women - first Adaline McGuffy (also spelled McGuffee) and then someone named Sarah E. But now I think they are one and the same person. Mary Emeline was declared the legal widow of Samuel Johnson Beaver and she got pension money every month. Widows had to go through rigorous proof to get money, so you know that the evidence was solid that they never divorced. Did Samuel ever actually marry Adaline? I know of no such attempt at a legal marriage, but that doesn't mean that it didn't happen. If they did, I sure would like a copy of that marriage certificate. It would have probably happened in Marion, Boone or Carroll counties in AR in the time frame of 1865 - 1879. When he deserted Mary at the end of the war, he and Adaline went first to Lead Hill, Boone Co., AR and stayed there about 3 or 4 years according to testimony. Note that Lead Hill was in Marion Co. when he first went there and then the county lines changed and it became in Boone Co. around 1870. I estimate he was in Lead Hill in the timeframe abt. 1865 - early 1870's. He is in Boone Co. in the 1870 census, but probably not long after that he returned to Eureka Springs, Carroll Co., AR. The documents imply that he was in Eureka Springs when he deserted Mary. They do not give a specific date that he returned, but they were in Eureka Springs when Adaline died abt. 1878 (per testimony). Testimony specifically says that Samuel had 9 kids by the McGuffy woman and that the McGuffy woman died in Eureka Springs abt. 1878. There wasn't much time - he would have had to marry someone named Sarah between 1878 (Adaline's reported death date) and Oct. 27, 1879 (Sarah's death date). The pension documents clearly tell that he never initiated a divorce from Mary, but sometimes each person assumed that the other got a divorce. In fact, that was the case with Mary Emeline. She got remarried abt. 1875 to a guy named John Jones, only to find out maybe a couple of years later that Samuel never divorced her. She immediately kicked poor John Jones out of her house and never lived with him again. It was a mess. To me, the details all seem to fit with Samuel's "wife" being Adaline except for the name on the tombstone! The birth and death dates on the tombstone very closely match Adaline's. I thought - why would Adaline (Sarah) be buried in New Salem Cemetery in Seligman, Barry Co., MO when she died in Carroll Co., AR (per the pension records)? Well, ta-da, New Salem is where Adaline's mother is buried and the mother died first. So, that makes sense. I also thought - how did Samuel and Adaline meet? Answer is that in the 1860 census Samuel and Adaline's mother were neighbors in Sugar Creek Twp, Barry Co., MO. They both lived in the same county, township and Post Office area. So, that makes sense that Samuel could have known Adaline before the war. He took off with her shortly after the end of the war which was in 1865. Adaline's mother was apparently named Elizabeth Amy Ray, and we find Adaline living with her grandfather John X. Ray and probably an uncle in the 1860 and 1850 census of Barry Co., MO. Per an Ancestry.com tree I found, Elizabeth's first husband, Roland McGuffy (spelled McGuffee) died in 1853 and Elizabeth quickly remarried to a man named Richard Murry (Murray). Richard is also buried at New Salem, but he died after Elizabeth and Adaline. Adaline died in Eureka Springs, but is buried in Seligman, MO. Those two towns are 20 miles apart, so they would have had to transport her body there for burial and probably bought the tombstone in the Seligman area, too. The style of her tombstone is not like Samuel's, her mother's or her step-father Richard's so we don't get any clues there. I can't explain why the name would be wrong??? I assume she was buried there at her death and not moved there at some later date. One of Samuel's kids by this 2nd "wife" is named Jobe Beaver and he is also buried at New Salem cemetery. He died in 1952, which of course is much later. One of Samuel's kids by this 2nd "wife" is named Amy - which is the middle name of Adaline's mother. Everything fits Adaline EXCEPT the first name on the tombstone!! The tombstone is very old and is probably the original one. I don't know where other researchers have gotten the name Sarah Elizabeth Ann Craton as this 2nd wife? I am not saying it is wrong, but I am curious to see some data supporting it. | Note Carole Dolisi Beaver Photo Deceased Beverly Sweeney |

Inscription: "U. S. S NEW ORLEANS" - Research Note: Son of James Monroe Brewer and Paralee Kennedy/McKinney. - Cassville Republican, Thursday, Oct. 24, 1918 - George B. Brewer was born in Roaring River township, Barry County, Missouri, Jan. 15, 1891, died Oct. 4, 1918, at the U. S. Naval Hospital, Brooklyn, N. Y., of bronchia-pneumonia, contracted in Uncle Sam's service on the U.S. S. New Orleans. His body was shipped to Seligman where after impressive funeral services the body was taken to New Salem cemetery for interment. He leaves a father, three brothers and one half brother, four sisters, three half sisters and numerous friends to mourn his departure. A large crowd was present at the funeral services held at the Seligman Union church, upon which occasion Rev. James Brattin of Cassville delivered one of the best funeral sermons the writer has been privileged to hear. Some years ago George served as a volunteer in the U. S. Army. His three years enlistment expired on Sept. 1, 1916. He again entered Uncle Sam's service as a volunteer in the Navy. He remained in this capacity until relieved by death. Of his condition for meeting that grim monster called death I can not say. We can only hope that he made his peace calling and election sure before passing on to the great beyond. But of this much I am sure, no one could die in a better cause than the one in which he was engaged, the death struggle between autocracy and democracy. When this great contest is won, as it surely will be, the nations of the earth will rise up and call blessed those who gave their all to bring about this glorious condition and in that hour the name of George B. Brewer will not be forgotten. - Cassville Republican, Thursday, Oct. 24, 1918 - Card of Thanks - We desire to extend to the good people of Seligman and vicinity our heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude for their disinterested kindness and service during the preparation for burial of our beloved son, brother and more than brother, Geo. B. Brewer. We are also duly appreciative of the beautiful and eloquent funeral sermon delivered by Rev. James Brattin. May God bless you all. J. M.
