"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 217, No 12, p 24, Dec., 1995.
Clara Gertrude (Lewis) Beebe, 98, passed from this life on August 31, 1995, at Daytona Beach, Fla.
She was born on March 19, 1897, in Little Genesee, N.Y., the daughter of Clarence L.E. Lewis and Extella (Buten) Lewis. Her mother died when Clara was 16, and she helped raise her younger brothers and sisters.
- Following her mother's death, the family moved from their farm home to Alfred, N.Y.
- Clara attended Alfred University, majoring in home economics.
- On August 18, 1922, she married Clifford Beebe, a student at Alfred School of Theology.
Shortly after their marriage, the Beebes moved to Fouke, Ark., where Clifford pastored the Seventh Day Baptist Church and both taught in the local SDB academy. This began a long series of pastorates in many states, with Clara faithfully working beside her husband. In 1965, they were the first SDBs to undertake a missionary field trip to meet with Sabbatarians in Mexico.
Clara served on the Women's Board and the Young People's Board of General Conference.
In 1967, she received the Robe of Achievement from the Women's Society.
- Clara was a housewife who stayed home and cared for her children - except for a few years during World War II when teachers were in short supply. She maintained a lifelong love of poetry, which she passed on to her children. She was active in ministry with her husband, and together they established three youth camping programs. She was particularly active in work with children and young people, and taught innumerable Vacation Bible Schools, Sabbath Schools, and summer camps.
At the time of her death, Clara was living in Daytona Beach. Seldom able to attend services in recent years, she maintained a lively interest in both the local congregation and in the broader work of Seventh Day Baptists.
Survivors include
- one daughter, Anne Lastinger, of Daytona Beach;
- and one son, David, of St. Louis, Mo.
She also leaves behind, to glory in her Christian teaching and example, 15 grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
- In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by a twin son, Paul, who died in 1971; and by one great-grandson.
A memorial service was held at the Daytona Beach SDB Church on September 4, 1995, with Rev. John H. Camenga offIciating.
- On September 9, 1995, a committal service was held at the SDB cemetery at Caraway, near Palatka, Fla.
