The Cleburne New Era NEWSPAPER NOTICES FROM "THE CLEBURNE NEW ERA" for MARCH 4th through March 18th 1905
NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, March 11, 1905
MURDER IN CLEBURNE COUNTY Richard D. Beason, a farmer, was murdered at his home in south Cleburne on Tuesday night. Tuesday night a phone message was received here from Beason's Mill, stating that Richard Beason was seriously and probably fatally shot. Dr. Wright was summoned but didn't get there until about nine o'clock Wednesday morning about two hours after which Beason died. The evidence led to the arrest of Beason's wife and son who are in the county jail at Edwardsville.
ALABAMA STATE NEWS Heflin, Ala - - - Richard D. Beason was shot and killed at his home four miles from Heflin, as he lay in bed. The shooting was done with a shot gun. His wife and 16 year old son are charged with the crime and are in the sheriff's custody. Family difficulty was the cause assigned. The shooting occurred Wednesday morning.
NEWSPAPER issue of Thursday, August 5, 1920
Mrs. Mary Beason, who, about sixteen years ago was convicted of the murder of her husband Richard Beason, and sentenced to the penitentiary for 30 years, has been granted a pardon or parole by Governor Kilby. Mrs. Beason arrived in Heflin Tuesday morning and left at once for her old home.
Does anyone know the details or who their parents were, etc. I would appreciate any info. I have already checked census records and found in the 1900 census a Richard D. and wife Sara plus a number of children. Also, In a genealogy book I have shows a Richard Dunn Beason of the correct generation belonging to Curtis Linzie...but the book (Beeson Genealogy by Jasper Luther Beeson) has Sara Riddle as his wife. My g grandmother was Lou Emma Beason Overton of the Beason Mill, Cleburne Co., AL group.
