Drowning of Eusebius Beeston 1814 of Walford (Inquests)
1814. Aug 8. On Saturday morning last, as Mr EUSEBIUS BEESTON, second son of the late Rev JOHN HOWTON BEESTON, MA, Vicar of Walford, near Ross, was returning from bathing in the Wye, at Ross, with four other gentlemen, he was seized with a fit, fell over the side of the boat, and was drowned. Every exertion was made by his friends, who were experienced swimmers; but as he never rose again, it was near half an hour before the body could be taken out. Dr Lewis, and Mr Rootes, surgeon, attended with the greatest alacrity, and employed every possible means to restore animation, but without effect. Mr Beeston was in the 22d year of his age, much esteemed by all who knew him, and has left a disconsolate mother, who has not only to lament the loss of this son by a watery grave, but that of her eldest son also, who perished in the Lord Nelson Indiaman, about three years ago, at the same period of life!
