A dinner party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar P. Beebe last week Friday in honor of Mr. Beebe's 77th birthday. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Beebe were their sons and families. Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Beebe and daughter, Blanche, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph C. Beebe and daughter Gladys and sons, Walter and Howard. The dinner was prepared by the daughters-in-law in their homes and served by them as Mrs. Beebe is not able for a time to do work.

Two weeks ago Sunday Edgar P. Beebe slipped on the ice and fell, striking on his hand and wrist. After a day or so it began to be painful. He visited a doctor and it was discovered he had sprained it and a small bone was cracked. It was strapped to a small board and is now much better.

  1953 Edgar P. Beebe's former home burns

Fire Destroys Beebe Farm House, Knox Road, Sunday The old Beebe farmhouse, on the Altamont-Knox road, was almost entirely destroyed by fire which swept the upper part of the structure Sunday afternoon. The property is now owned by Clyde Musser. Cause of the fire was said to have been a flaming rag, part of a torch used to burn worms out of a tree, the burning rag in some unaccountable manner being blown under the west side of the building. A strong wind was prevalent at the time. Firemen from Knox, Berne, and Altamont responded to the alarm. With water drawn from the upper Altamont reservoir the flames were finally extinguished, but not before the building was a shambles, both from the fire and water. The farmhouse was the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Beebe for many years. It is located opposite Wolfe's Tavern, formerly Lahndorff's. Altamont Enterprise May 29, 1953
