This is a part of a paper written by
Iva Hopkins in 1966.It mentions the Jim Beeney
family. "My dad's brothers and sisters were:
Calvin, Vergal, an older sister, I can't think
of her name, she married Jim Beeney. Stilman,
Minnie and Ruth. Grandma and these last three
were burned in a prairie fire at Wilbur Neb.
Stilman was 8, Minnie 9, and Ruth ? They were
on the prairie when their mother went to school
for them when she saw the fire coming. Ruth
died that night Grandma lived a day and a
night. 3 grandchildren were with her. The Jim
Beeney children, Charley, Elic, and Dickey.
Charley and Elic lived.Uncle Jim Beeney had 2
other children, Linnie and Nettie. Later he
married Sarah, I don't know her last name.
They had 1 boy Jay."
Iva Hopkins was my g-aunt and lived in Neb. I
belive she was 104 when she passed away a few
years ago.
