General Notes: Husband - Harry Lucien Beecroft

When Harry Lucien Beecroft was born on February 3, 1866, in Occidental, Sonoma County, California, his father, John T Beecroft, was 40 and his mother, Margaret Virginia Webb, was 28. Shortly after, the young family moved to San Francisco.

In 1885, when he was 19, Harry joined the military and served in Stockton, California (Co A, 6th Infantry Battalion Manager). By 1890 he was living in Placer County and the next year he married Agnes A Miller. Together, they had three sons and one daughter.

After Agnes died in 1909, Harry moved frequently, primarily within Northern California. For the most part, Harry worked as a printer.

He died on February 26, 1928, in Placer County, at the age of 62. He may have been buried in Auburn, California; however, there are no documents to support this theory.
