General Notes: Husband - James S. Beacom

---

He obtained in the public schools his primary education, later attending Elderton Academy, and Washington and Jefferson College, from which he graduated in the class of 1880. He was admitted to the bar in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in 1884, and thereafter practiced most of the time. Politically Mr. Beacom was a staunch Republican, and was a faithful party worker, engaging in several hotly contested campaigns. He was a loyal supporter of Hon. Matthew S. Quay, United States senator. He was a member of the house of representatives of the legislature of Pennsylvania in the sessions of 1887 and 1901. From May, 1898 to May, 1900, he was state treasurer, in which position he effected some radical changes in the management of that office, leaving its finances in better shape than for many previous years. In the famous Silver campaign of 1896, in which William McKinley was nominated for president at the Republican national convention at St. Louis, he was one of the delegates at large. In his religious connection he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and for many years was a member of the board of trustees.
