THE WELL-KNOWN DRUGGIST EXPIRES AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS
Charles BEEMER one of Muncie's best known young business men and who for a number of years has been identified in the drug business, died shortly after 10:00 this morning at his home in Riverside.
Mr. BEEMER was taken sick with the grip several days ago as the result of exposure. He grew worse and pneumonia developed and finally caused his death. He was down town last Friday in a cab. He was very sick then but he thought the trip would not hurt him. However, it proved otherwise.
The deceased was for a number of years a clerk in Andrews' store. Several years ago when Thomas ALLEN died, Mr. BEEMER bought an interest with Homer BOWLES in the drug store at 104 S. Walnut St. He eventually bought Mr. BOWLES' interest and conducted the store until several months ago when his mother, Mrs. M.U. BEEMER, assumed charge of it.
The deceased was 26 years old, leaves a wife whose maiden name was Kate BRATTON, and a son Frank, aged 3 years. No arrangements have been made for the funeral. He carried a life insurance policy for $2000.

Muncie Morning Star - Monday, February 26, 1883
It is once more our sad duty to chronicle the death of an old highly respected citizen, who has lived in Muncie for years and is well known not only throughout the city, but the county also. We refer to Mrs. Elizabeth BEEMER, who died at the residence of her son, George BEEMER, on the corner of Adams and Mulberry streete at 2:00 Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. BEEMER has been ill with that dread disease, consumption, for 6 years, suffering with a hacking cough and other symptoms which attend it. For the past 2 years, however she has been confined to bed much of the time, and has suffered much. Old age, care, and anxiety have not helped her illness, and finally erysipelas set in and weakened nature gave way, and she passed away at the hour named.
Mrs. BEEMER was born in Green County, Ohio, Feb. 26, 1801 and would therefore have been 82 today had she lived. A birthday dinner had been arranged for her today and she was looking forward with bright anticipations to it, when the dread destroyer overtook her. Her maiden name was Elizabeth HAINES. She lived in Green County, Ohio until 1818, being married there on Dec. 12, 1823 to Mr. BEEMER, with whom she moved to this cily, 35 years ago, since which time she has lived in this place, and on the same block where she died, a greater part of the time living in her home where Haines' food store now is. She has been a widow since May 12, 1852 and was the mother of 8 children 3 of whom are still living; Mr. George BEEMER, Mrs. Mark STEWART, Mrs. HOSFORD, of Oregon. Mrs. BEEMER was well and favorably known, and her loss will be mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
The funeral service is occuring at her residence, conducted by Revs. F.T. SIMPSON and T.C. DRULY, as we go to press.
