   1. ) "ABNER M. BEEBE, retired merchant, Rome, was born in New York City, August 28, 1832, and is a son of Martin H. and Eliza (Meserole) Beebe, the former a native of Connecticut, the latter of Brooklyn, N. Y., and of Dutch descent. His paternal ancestors were from Connecticut, dating back generations. His father, who was a copper-smith, and a successful business man, died January 1, 1840, aged thirty -three; he had a family of five children, viz: Martin H., of Brooklyn; Margaret M., married to William H. VanVorhis, both now dead; Abner M.; Harriet M., married to William H. Barnes, of New York City; Elizabeth, died in infancy. Abner M. Beebe passed his boyhood in the city of Brooklyn, attending the public schools until twelve years of age, after which he was thrown on his own resources. He secured a position as errand boy in a store in New York, and was clerk in different stores, finally becoming a head book-keeper, and was thus employed until the panic of 1857, when he opened a fruit store on his own account, and conducted the same until 1863, when he was appointed commissioner of enrollment by President Lincoln, and during the draft riots he was in frequent danger of his life from assassination. In 1865 he came to Bradford county and purchased a farm of fifty-five acres in North Rome; after eight years he removed to Wysox, and three years afterward he proceeded to Springville, Susquehanna county, and was there three years when he went to Brushville, opened a general store and remained two years; while here he lost his first wife; then he removed to Myersburg, and merchandised for about five years, and from there came to Rome borough; then in 1887 he retired from active life. Mr. Beebe has been twice married, the first time April 26, 1854, to Mary A. Dains, daughter of William H. Dains, of Brooklyn, by which marriage he had four children, viz. : Francis E., married to E. T. Bull; Hattie M., married to J. Wilbur Dunn; Mary E., married to E. II. Myer, Jr., and Isaac M. She died March 16, 1882, and May 27, 1884, he was married to Emma Compton, daughter of William H. Compton, of New York City. Mr. Beebe takes a great interest in church matters, and is a Republican. He has been three times appointed postmaster of different offices in the count}' ; he has also served as council and on the election board of Rome borough. In his business career Mr. Beebe has always been successful, and left a large circle of friends wherever he has resided; he commands the esteem and respect of a large circle of friends in this his adopted county."
