Wed Nov 14 1873 - James Toms brought a telegram saying Christopher Beecroft killed himself last night by cutting his throat in a state of insanity. Signed John Beecroft. This was fearful news for a father. My father in Heaven hear the prayers of me thy unworthy servant and enable my wife and my son's wife to bear up under the weight of trouble thus brought upon them. Grant me thy Holy Spirit and may I nevermore grieve it. Learned I could have a conveyance to Holden. I and my daughter Mary Ann went to endowment house and was proxy for the sealing of my grandfather Christopher Beecroft and my grandmother Alice Tempest; Thomas Beecroft to Hannah Leach; my Aunt Elizabeth Beecroft to Uncle Samuel Craven. Went to town, bought a fiddle box and 2 strings for $3.50, bought a brace and bit for one dollar 75¢. I took train to Provo and stage to Peoche. Wrapped myself in two blankets and kept tolerably warm. At Scipio had breakfast. Reached Holden about one o'clock in afternoon. I found my wife and happy to see her face after an absence of one year. • His obituary was published in the Salt Lake Herald on 20 Nov 1873. Yesterday (Nov. 19) Mr. Joseph Beecroft, lately a compositor in the Herald office, received a telegraphic message that his son, Christopher Beecroft, of Cedar Springs, Millard County, had committed suicide by cutting his throat with a butcher knife, in a fit of insanity. Mr. Beecroft, who is an amiable old gentleman, has our keenest sympathy in this trying breavement.
