Headline MONETT WOMAN DIES SUDDENLY
Mrs. Debbie Beasley Dies of Heart Trouble Monday Evening, Funeral at Exeter
Text Mrs. Debbie Beasley, age 60 years, who had conducted a rooming house at 300 Sixth street in Monett for several years, died suddenly about 7:45 o'clock Monday evening of heart trouble. She had been apparently in good health and her death came as a great shock to her family and friends. The body was taken to Peirce City Monday night.

Mrs. Beasley had decided to give up the rooming house business and to return to her old home in Peirce City. Nearly all her goods had been taken to Peirce City on Monday. That evening she sat down to rest at the rooming house and complained that she was tired. Without warning she pitched forward in her chair and died immediately.

Her family were widely scattered. Her son Burton was on his way to North Carolina and a message reached him, but John Beasley, who had recently gone to Canada to take a position, has not been reached up to this time.

The other children were notified and came immediately.

The family has lived at Exeter, Ritchey, Peirce City and Monett and is well known in Barry and Lawrence counties. Mr. Beasley died several years ago. The children surviving the parents are Ollie Beasley, Tulsa, Okla. Mrs. E. C. Chumbley, Peirce City; Mrs. Exie Short, Peirce City; Mrs. W. E. Wallace, Hugo, Okla; Mrs. O. A. Jackson, Springfield; Mrs. C. E. Woolsey, of Monett and Coralee, John and Burton Beasley, who lived with their mother. Four children have died. Mrs. Beasley is also survived by four step-children, one of whom is Mrs. A. A. Adams, of Monett. She leaves four brothers - Harve, Parker and Bob Doyle, of Exeter and Arnold Doyle, of Purdy.

The funeral will be held at Exeter, but the time cannot be decided until word is received from the children who are away from home.

Mrs. Beasley was a good Christian woman, every energetic and capable. She will be sadly missed by a large circle of friends.
