Death of Henry D. Beach

His death occurs in Nova Scotia on the 13th of July

Henry D. Beach, who for many years was a resident of Red Bank, died at Nova Scotia on Tuesday, July 13th. It is expected that his remains will be brought to New York and interred at Greenwood cemetery.

Mr. Beach's eccentricities were well known to the people of this vicinity, and about two months ago he was declared insane by a sheriff's jury of twenty-four men. The verdict of the jury further stated that he had been insane since 1880. Moses S. Beach, his brother, was appointed as his guardian. During the period of Mr. Beach's insanity he had married Mrs. Emily Gibson, and had made over to her, either directly or through a third party, most of the real estate which he owned. After he had been pronounced insane by the jury, Moses S. Beach, the guardian appointed by the court, began suit to recover the property from Mrs. Beach (Mrs. Gibson). On learning of Mr. Beach's death an affidavit to that effect was filed in the Court of Chancery, and the suit will hereafter be continued by Mrs. John M. Farrier, Mr. Beach's daughter and heir.
