OBITUARY ---------------HERMAN BEYER
Redwood City Democrat
January 26, 1905
Death’s restful slumber
Herman Beyer, County Pioncer, answered the final summons. Herman Beyer, a highly respected citizen of this city for nearly 50 years passed away at the home of Mrs. M. Finger Friday morning after an illness of four weeks. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon and was attended by many old friends of the deceased. Short services were conducted at the home by Rev. C.C. Kirkland during which Rev. H.E. Jewett, who many years ago was the Congregational pastor in this city, delivered a short address. “Thirty-five years ago” said Mr. Jewett, “I promised this dear old friend of ours that when this event should occur, if it were possible, I would be present. In obedience to that pledge, I have come and I feel it a duty to be here in this home, into which so much happiness and sorrow have entered, so well known to all of us.
On this mournful occasion it is a pleasure to testify to the many good qualities and the strong Christian character of the deceased.” Mr. Jewett’s remarks were mainly a review of the life of the deceased as he had known him in which he spoke highly of his many good qualities.
At the conclusion of the simple service the body was taken to Union Cemetery and there laid at rest in the Finger Plot. The following old friends acted as pall bears, P.P. Chamberlain, B.F Cooper, H.P. Smith, Chase Littlejohn, J.F. Utter, Andrew Johnson Mr. Beyer was a native of Germany, aged 83 years, and a college graduate who both wrote and spoke French, German and English fluently. He was an old friend of the Fingers, coming to this country with them in 1856 and until his death had almost continuously resided at the family home near this city.
