Death of REV. GEO. BEECHER - Deplorable
Casualty - A slip from the Scioto, (O)
Gazette, mentions that the Rev. GEORGE BEECHER, Pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church, was suddenly killed. Mr. BEECHER
it appears by the finding of the Coroner's jury, took a double
barrelled shot gun, and went into his garden, with a view of killing
the birds that destroyed his fruit and buds. He discharged one
barrel, and about five minutes afterwards he raised the muzzle of the
gun to his mouth for the purpose, it is believed, of blowing into the
empty barrel, at which moment the powder, in the other barrel accidently
exploded, discharging the whole charge of shot into his skull,
which caused instant death. - A public meeting, at which the
Hon THOMAS EWING presided, did honor to the virtues of the deceased.
The deceased is a son of the Rev. Dr. BEECHER
formerly of Litchfield, in this State, and brother of the Rev. ____
BEECHER, formerly pastor of the South Church in this city.
He was a graduate of Yale College. |
