1429 I3694  Becwar  Frantisek "Frank"  Abt 1829  15 Aug 1900  Frantisek Becvar, born in 1829 in Nezamslice, Strakomie Pisceky, Bohemia was naturalized in Fillmore County, May 18, 1875. He died August 15, 1900, and is buried in the Ceski Bratri Cemetery. His first wife, Marie Hubac Becvar, died in Czechoslovakia. His second wife, Mary Zdenek, was born March 25, 1836, and died November 1, 1924, and is buried in the Ceski Bratri Cemetery.

Mr. and Mrs. Becwar migrated to the US by sailing ship in 1868. They came from the east by train to Lincoln, Nebraska. There they hired a wagon and drive to take them to the Kral homestead north of Milligan. After paying the driver, they had 75 cents left.

The Becwar's homesteaded the 80 acres just west of the Krals, which would be W 1/2 SE 1/4 of Section 26, Liberty Precinct. Frank received the patent on February 20, 1877. They made a dug-out using an animal hide to cover the doorway. Frank was a cabinent maker, and walked 25 miles to Pleasant Hill to work, staying there all week, and walking home again on the weekends. The work involved building the William Smith Flour Mill. On his first trip home, he carried enough lumber to make themselves a proper door.

Life in the dugout was quite primative. It was hard to heat, and invited snakes. They ground corn with stones, and used a plentiful weed to make tea. Mr. Becwar would also shot prarie chickens on his way home for meat. Indians came through occasionally begging for food. Rustlers were also a problem. One night their cow was stolen, but it got away and came back home to be with its calf.

Mr. Becwar worked for the Burlington and Missouri Railroad in 1870 and 1871. He bought the SW 1/4 of Section 23 from them. This was handed down to Mike Becwar, Sr. and then Mike Becwar, Jr. At present the Kuska's own this land.

The Becwar daughters married and moved away. Agnes and Josephine moved to Kansas, Barbara to Nelson, Nebraska, Mary to Sunol, Nebraska. However, sons Mike and Anton stayed in Fillmore County. (Milligan, p 194).

NOTE: As the death date of Marie Hubac, as well as the date of the marriage of Frank and Mary Zdenak is unknown, the mother of his children can not be positevely identified until such a time as these questions are answered. Additionally, the biography of oldest son Anton notes that his mother was Mary Versek. For the time being, Mary Zdenak is being listed as the mother of Frank's six children, but this is subject to change.

Leonard worked with the NKC Grain Company and NKC promoted him to Ace Supply at Fairmont. He soon was transferred to Salina KS with the Grain Co of Simpson, Laybourn, Miller and Stark. Leonard traveled for this company throughout Nebraska and Kansas. In 1958, he returned to Fairmont to manage the Ace Supply Co at the airbase.

After a retina detachment, he moved to his parent's home place north of Milligan when they retired. While on the farm, he started a small musical combo consisting of his Uncle Frank Becwar on drums and Leonard on accordion. When Uncle Frank couldn't go to dance jobs, Leonard took his daughter Dawn or son Mark to drum. Leonard had always loved music and his father taught him to play the button accordion before he started to school, allowing him to play with his father at dances. Leonard and his cousin Ernie Becwar played at a talent contest and won a diamond ring which they gave to their cousin Darlene. They had the ring appraised and found it to be worth only $2.00... but were still happy they had won the contest. Because of poor eyesight, he learned to play instruments by ear and while in high school, his music teacher noted that he couldn't see the notes, but was an excellent musician and encouraged him to keep up the good work.

His eyesight continued to fail and he purchased the LB Inn in Milligan where he enjoyed visiting with friends and hosting bands. After giving up his driver's license and he started a recording business "LB Tapes" and recorded combos and small groups. Successful eye surgery allowed him to regain his driver's license and he sold the bar and started his advertising business, selling for Zenith Pictorial and Waco Advertising. With this new vision also came his big band dream. The Leonard Becwar Orchestra "The LB Band" played for wedding and anniversary dances and more. All the members were treasured for their musical abilities and friendship. Leonard also sang with the Milligan Czech Brass Band for several years. At the Doane Czech Program, in his absence due to ill health, his chair was filled with a small black teddy bear donning a similar band vest and a tiny accordion with the Becwar name on it; a special gift and featured in the Lincoln Journal story. Leonard's love for polka music gained him a spot in the Polka Hall of Fame in Omaha NE and he also was a charter member of the Musicians' Hall of Fame at Milligan.

After an invitation to sponsor a tour to the Oktoberfest in Munich Germany, Leonard and Dee started a tour business, arranging more than 90 tours with over 900 people over 20 years. Many of his home town people traveled with him to Czechoslovakia, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Austria, along with sightseeing tours to Canada and most of the US. Polka tours covered Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Idaho and Southern states.

Leonard was a member and past Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. He also belonged to the Milligan Community Club and enjoyed his part in organizing the Centennial Celebration of Milligan in 1988. He served on the Milligan Town Board, Milligan Fire & Rescue, and was a member of the Milligan United Methodist Church, later transferring to the Friend United Methodist Church.

With his failing health, they sold their Milligan home in 2005 and moved to Friendship Terrace in Friend. Leonard was admitted to the Friend Manor on March 1, 2006 and he enjoyed participating in various activities. Leonard and his wife had enjoyed entertaining at the Friend Manor for several years and he often played his accordion while a resident the past two years. Highlights include members of his former band, Sue and Blue River Czechs, playing for the residents to celebrate his 82nd birthday, their 61st wedding anniversary.

Leonard is survived by his wife, DeLores, Friend, daughter and son-in-law Dawn and Douglas Mundt, Crete, son, Mark Becwar, Lincoln, grandchildren, spouses and great grandchildren include Shannon and Shaun Mee and their children Autumn, Allison, Austin, Ashlyn and Aiden, Colorado Springs, CO, Jennifer Becwar and Matt Daringer and their children, Scoie and Cooper, Lincoln, Kamron Becwar, Seattle, WA, Chad and Keri Becwar and children Austin & Jordyn, Lincoln, Chandler Becwar, Wray, CO, Jarod and Stacey Mundt, Papillion, Julie and Jared Rohrs, Lincoln, and a host of other relatives and friends.

BEDDOE, EARL PERCY (1822-1876). Earl Percy Beddoe, pioneer civil engineer, was born on January 30, 1822, in eastern Tennessee, son of Philip Tolbert and Catherine (Parr) Beddoe. He married Martha Caroline Hembree on October 12, 1843, in Tennessee, and they had nine children. In 1845, after an education in civil engineering, Beddoe moved to Texas, lived in Marshall, where he built a tanyard, then in 1850 settled in Sabinetown, where he established a saddle and harness business. He served for a while there as school principal; he was named county surveyor of Sabine County and laid out the town of Hemphill as the new county seat in 1859. Beddoe acted as a courier during the Civil War , and as a civil engineer he figured in the planning of fortifications at Sabine Pass in 1863 (see SABINE PASS, BATTLE OF ). He helped plan and execute the embankments or breastworks fortifying Sabinetown in 1864. In 1869 or early 1870 the family moved to Sabine Parish, Louisiana, but soon after 1871 they moved to Navarro County, Texas, where Beddoe died on November 27, 1876, in Chatfield.

Helen Gomer Schluter

Virgie Speights writes, in OLD TIMERS OF SABINE COUNTY, that he established a tan yard, taught school and put in a stagecoach inn. He was also a surveyor and surveyed the town of Hemphill in 1858, when the county seat was moved from Milam. As many people objected to this move, the surveying was begun in the middle of the night. (p. 35).


There was an article featuring a photograph of Earl Percy Beddoe in the October 2, 2013 issue of The Sabine County Reporter. The article was a story about a recent Civil War reenactment at Sabine Pass, during which the William Henry Parsons Camp #415, Sons of Confederate Veterans honored Earl Percy Beddoe, and early resident of Sabine County, whose family later moved to Chatfield, a community in Navarro County, Texas, where the Parsons Camp is located.

1455 I24034  Beddoe  Phillip Tolbert  19 Jul 1790  Abt 1861  Philip Tolbert Beddoe was Malvina Parr Beddoe's grandfather. He was the head of the American branch of the Beddoe family. On your page, you list him as being born "before 1802" and dying "yes, unknown." He was actually born in England on 19 July 1790 and he died in 1861 in Sabinetown, Texas. He is buried in Sabinetown.

He married Catherine Parr on 10 February 1820 in Moravintown, NC. [possibly Wachovia, North Carolina, settled by Moravian around 1753]. She died in 1873. Their son, Earl Percy Beddoe was born 30 January 1822. His daughter Malvina Parr Beddoe was born 18 August 1844. She married Pedras Philip Davidson 17 September 1865.

Are you descended from these Beddoes? If so, you are descended from Welsh royalty.

Email from "Beddoe Genealogist" byddw@yahoo.com on 7-17-2007.

Virgie Speights writes that Philip Tolbert Beddoe was one of six children born in East Tennessee to Thomas Beddoe, a son of Charles Beddoe and Lydia Nash of Withypool, England, who came to America and settled first in Philadelphia, later moving to Tennessee.

Herbert Beecher succumbs to heart attack at farm home
Found in car in ditch

Herbert O. Beecher, 61, of Deford was found dead in his car Friday morning after suffering what was apparently a fatal heart attack.

Police on the scene, judging by equipment found in his car, theorized that he probably went into a field a little less than a mile from his home to repair some fences on the property.

He was found by his wife, who went looking for him when he failed to return to the house. The car went head first into a 20 foot deep drainage ditch and the victim was pinned inside.

After a fireman used a farm tractor to pull the car from the ditch, the jaws of life were used to free him. Fire fighters from Kingston and Elkland Township were at the scene, as was the Cass City Mercy Ambulance service.

Mr. Beecher was born Sept. 23, 1931, in Ellington Township, the son of the late Lerory and Helen Beecher. He married the former Patricia Urquhart Nov. 12, 1961 in Carol.

He was a graduate of Caro High School and served in the U. S. Army in Germany. He was a Caro police officer and raised Hereford cattle on his farm. He was also involved in antique tractors.

Surviving besides his wido are: 2 daughters, Mrs. Don (Sany) Hunt of Webberville and Mrs. Mark (Shelley) Newsome of Clarkston, a son, Leroy, at home, hsi mother, Helen Beecher of Caro; a brother, Dale of Davisburg; 5 sisters, Mrs. Robert (Iola) Cragg of Fairgrove, Mrs. Richard (Janet) Fullmer and Louise Brown, both of Caro; Barbara Allen of Las Vegas, Neveda, and Mrs. Kenneth (Carolyn) Hayes of Ft. Polk, Louisiana; his mother in law, Mrs. Emeline Urquhard of Caseville, and several nieces and nephews.

Preceding him in death were his father, 2 brothers, Jay in 1951 and Keith in 1989, an a sister, Marie Findlay, this year.

Funeral services wre held Tuesday at Collon Funeral Home in Caro, the Rev. Calvin Blue officiating. Burial was in Ellington Township Cemetery.
