Newspaper Obituary - November 1904 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died in East Syracuse, November 18, 1904, Mrs. James Beeman Doane in the seventy-ninth year of her age. Mrs. Doane was born in the town of Richland, August 1, 1825 and at the age of fifteen years gave her heart to God and joined the Baptist Church at Holmesville (now Fernwood), but later in life she, with her husband, James Beeman, joined the Methodist Church at Minetto and at the time of her death was a communicant of the Methodist Church in Pulaski. During the last two years she was a great sufferer. One year ago she went to a hospital in Syracuse for treatment but received no relief and failed so fast that she was unable to return to her home in Pulaski but was taken to the home of her son in East Syracuse where she was tenderly cared for until the end came. She was laid to rest, by loving hands, in Willis cemetery by the side of the husband of her youth and the two children who had gone before. Besides her son she leaves four brothers, C. S. Calkins of Colorado, R. P. Calkins of Mexico, R. D. Calkins of Oregon, and J. E. Calkins of Albion, also three sisters, Mrs. Harriett Douglass of Buffalo, Mrs. Isabelle McChesney of California, and Mrs. J. D. Jones of Milwaukee, who for the last few weeks was constantly at the bedside trying to alleviate the sufferings of her sister. The many beautiful flowers attest to the love of her many friends. The bearers were two brothers, R. P. and J. E. Calkins, the son, C. E. Beeman and two nephews, H. Douglass and E. S. Calkins.
