William Henry Beachner was born in Penfield, New York, July 10, 1853, and died at his home four miles south of town, September 13, 1913, aged 60 years, 2 months and 3 days. He came to Ohio when nine years of age. He became a Christian at the age of nineteen and united with the Christian church at Ashland in 1888. He was united in marriage to Ella C. Gantz on March 20, 1880, and leaves to mourn his departure, his devoted wife, two daughters, Ethel L., teacher in Ashland public schools and Violet M., wife of Chas. Mykrantz, and one son, Glenn. One daughter, died in infancy, and one granddaughter Dorothy Mykrantz. Two brothers, Jacob and George, of Rochester, New York; three sisters, Mrs. Barbara Brasser, also of Rochester; Mrs. Julia Morr, of Plymouth, Ohio; and Mrs. Sarah Beelman, of Saginaw, Mich., many other relatives and a host of friends also mourn their loss. He was a good, earnest Christian, devoted to his family, loved his church and God with his might and his neighbors as himself. The funeral service was conducted at the residence, Tuesday, September 16, at 1:30 p.m. Rev. F. D. Draper officiating. Those who attended the funeral from a distance were Mrs. Barbara Brasser and daughter, Minnie, of Rochester, New York; Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Clinesmith and Miss Clara Clinesmith, of Toledo; Mrs. Frank French, of Columbus, Ohio; Mr. John Clinesmith of Ganges, Ohio; Mr. J. Gantz, of Farrell, Pa., and Mr. William Gantz, of Creston, Ohio. We wish through the columns of this paper, to express our sincere thanks to all those who so kindly assisted us in our bereavement, to the choir, the pastor, the kind neighbors and friends and those who sent the beautiful flowers. Mrs. W. H. Beachner and Family.
Note: The obituary states that he moved when he was nine. I believe that is a mistake since he and his siblings and parents are already in Ohio in 1860 when he was six years old. Also, the obituary states a son Glenn. However, census data does not show any sons named Glenn. They do show a servant named Glenn. Maybe Glenn was adopted or the obituary was not correct?
William married Ella C. Gantz.
