Charles Emerson Beecher. ' 421 



was a slow and very careful worker. Those who knew him 



well saw in him an enthusiast, but his exuberance was always 



held in check by his judicial qualities, which also made him an 



excellent counselor. He was orderly in his work, and, as he 



had the " museum instinct " well developed, he made one of 



the best of museum curators. 



In 1894, Beecher married Mary Salome Galligan of Warren, 



Pennsylvania, who, with two daughters, survives him. He 



died very suddenly of heart disease at his home, shortly after 



one o'clock on Sunday afternoon, February 14. Up to about 



eleven o'clock of the same day, he was in his usual health. 



He lies in Grove Street Cemetery, in the shadow of the 



Sheffield Scientific School.
