The unexpected has happened. Last night about 9:30 Miss Fannie Beale passed away. For the past three days the question has been asked all over town, “How is Fannie Beale?” , for she was widely known and all who knew her were friends. This morning the question went the round the last time. On last Thursday Miss Beale was compelled to give up her school on account of a severe attack of the influenza. She grew worse steadily until on Tuesday the disease developed into brain fever. From that time on her life was in danger. Fanny May Beale was the youngest of eight daughters of Jonathan and Elizabeth Beale, the only one unmarried and the first one to meet death. She was twenty-five years old.
Her sisters are Mrs. Jeff Scott, Mrs. W. E. Nicholson, Mrs. G. F. Huggans of Carthage, N. Y., Mrs. C. W. Jones of VanBuren, Ark., Mrs. A. E. Greist, Mrs. Gus Truitt and Mrs. Charles Barrett. She graduated from the Crawfordsville High School in 1883 with high honors and since then has been engaged in teaching school. Since the death of her father, less than a year ago, she and her mother have been living together on West Market Street, but her death occurred at the home of Mrs. A. E. Griest.
