Subject: 85th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Date: Fri, 15 May 1998 14:47:30 EDT
I'd like to share a few precious thoughts of my Grandparents this day.......
This morning my thoughts go to my Material Grandparents as today would have
been their 85th Wedding Anniversary. Mr. John Amasa Beecroft / Beecraft (1885
- 1964) took Miss Louise Quayle's (1891 - 1986) hand in marriage at high noon
on Thursday, May 15, 1913. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. John W.
Schenck in the Quayle Family Home in Aurora, Minnesota. The young couple were
attended by Sarah Quayle and Nat Given. Friends serenaded Louise and John as
they departed on a train headed for their honeymoon in Duluth, Minnesota. It
rained that day....good luck my Grandmother Bee had always said.....just as it
does today.....85 years later.....it's still raining outside!
My Grandfather was an amateur baseball player (catcher) at the time of his
marriage and my Grandmother a meat-market book-keeper. They both left their
positions to resettle in Keewatin, Minnesota and raise two children: Robert
Kenneth Beecroft 1914 - 1943 and my mother Kathlyn Louise Beecroft Johnson
1917 - present. My Grandpa Bee went on to become a well-respected Safety
Inspector of the Northern Iron-Ore Range Mines of Minnesota. My Grandma Bee,
orphaned at an early age in a family of six children, had become quite a
talented cook and seamstress to help keep her family together.
I remember their 50th Wedding Anniversary the year before my Grandpa Bee
passed away. I was only 12 at the time of their celebration, the same age my
daughter is now. They were still so happy together, even though the last 12
years of my Grandfather's life he was totally paralyzed on his right side from
a stroke.
So today I honor my Grandparents: John and Louise Beecroft with every
Genealogist's fond wish; "Thank you for the wonderful heritage you have
handed onto me. Every Christmas when I make the traditional Christmas pudding,
every time I plant a petunia in my flower bed, every time my son tries to
catch a fly ball.....I'll see alittle of the greatness the two of you have
passed onto my family and me."
Tonight I'll serve dessert in your only exsisting sherbet glass to my
husband...he won't know or care...although he might ask why there is a crack
in it. But I'll know that glass was part of a wedding set given to the two of
you oh so many 85 years ago today. And of the strength of your love that has
endured all those many years and continues on. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma
for the wonderful heritage you have left my Family for many more years to
come....
Your Loving Granddaughter, Jennifer
PS I'll keep looking for those rainbows at the end of a good rain-shower!
