Benjamin Franklin Beecher ^{1 2}

  Noted events in his life were:

• Census, 1920, Castroville, Monterey County, California, USA. ¹ William J. Beecher, laborer in salt works, 43, was living with wife Emma, 36; William J., 16; Arthur, 14; May, 13; John L., 11; and Benjamin Franklin, 10. Everyone and their parents were born in Pennsylvania. William was renting his home, and had served in World War I.

[Note: since Benjamin was not listed in the 1910 Census when the family was living in Tulare, CA, and he was born in 1910, we assume his actual birthplace is Tulare and not Pennsylvania as listed in the 1920 Census.]

• Residence: Oakland, Alameda County, California, USA. ³

Benjamin married Janet Beasley, daughter of William Beasley and Janet Elizabeth Frazier. (Janet Beasley died on 15 Mar 1987 ³ and was buried in Pacific Grove: El Carmelo Cemetery, Monterey County, California, USA ³.)
