Surname Saturday: Beeman, Hamrick
21 November 2009 by Libbi.
My grandmother, Flora Geneva Beeman POWELL, was the daughter of John Wesley BEEMAN and Minnie Alma HAMRICK. They obviously had a lyrical bend of mind, judging from the names of their daughters. The sons’ names were more prosaic:
- Flora Geneva Beeman
- Dulcie Elmer Beeman
- Hobson Dewey Beeman
- Ruth Beeman
- Leta Beeman
- Ivy Zest Beeman (Known in the family as Zest)
- John Cooper Beeman
- Winifred Beeman
- Lee Wilbur Beeman (“Bill”)
Zest, Leta, Dulcie, Flora, Winnie and Ruth. Such poetic, graceful names they always seemed to me. Maybe it was just the Edwardian mindset: they were all born between 1894 and 1915 in
Cool names are just part of the fun of genealogy!
