Fred Beach
Letter to Classmates for 1965 reunion book.
Fred Francis Beach, PHD. ,and wife Jean Kain Beach have no children.
A bit of autobiography: "After graduation from Mansfield Richmond High school I
attended college off and on for 14 years. During this time I graduated from
Mansfield Normal and Syracuse University and Columbia University. I also picked
up a little educational experience as teacher, principal and superintendent of
schools. The next few years-until 1941-found me in several different jobs-staff
member of the New York State Education Department; director of Education,
Institute for Crippled and Disabled, and Director of Adult Education, Lrich
experience in the U.S. Office, where my latest job is Director of Educational
Administration." A bit of philosophy: Thoreau said, "If one advances confidently
in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has
imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." A cherished
memory: "I recall the wonderful times Bob McDowell and I had together-he
was my best friend; dances after basketball games, the Mansfield Fair; playing
tricks on Bertha Roff, etc." Comments: "I would certainly enjoy a reunion
if I could get away at the time. With the new legislation on education I shall
be pretty much occupied in the months ahead. However, I would try to make a
reunion meeting if it were at all possible. April or May would be best."

McDOWELL, Robert - Prominent Young Man Passes Away in Arnot-Ogden
Hospital, Elmira, Following Brief Illness—Taking Last Year of Advanced Teachers’
Course at Syracuse University.
Mansfield was shocked and deeply saddened yesterday when the news reached
here of the death of Robert McDowell in the Arnot-Ogden Hospital, was ill a
short time suffering from an attack of typhoid fever. Mr. McDowell, or "Bob" as
he was known by everyone in Mansfield and vicinity, was one of the most
promising young men of the community, and as well liked as known. He was the son
of Charles McDowell, the local implement dealer, and was born in Mansfield about
22 years ago, and has always made this place his home. He was prominent in local
affairs, both civic and church, and in the local fraternity of Masons. He was a
graduate of the local high school, the Mansfield Normal, and had been a
very successful teacher in the schools of Jersey Shore.
He was about to return to Syracuse University to take his last year in the
advanced teachers’ course. During his summer vacation Robert had been helping
his father in the implement store here, and before returning to his studies
though he would take a short vacation. While at Hawley, near Scranton, he was
taken ill, but kept up until he reached Elmira, where he entered the hospital.
The disease was severe from the beginning and was pronounced serious at the time
he entered the institution for treatment, but hope was held that he might
recover. However, Tuesday morning his father was summoned to his bedside. Later
news of his death reached here. There was perhaps no better liked boy in
Mansfield than Robert McDowell. Always of a cheery nature, he had a smile and a
pleasant word for everyone with whom he came in contact. In the schools he
attended he was one of the foremost in studies, as well as school affairs, and
after graduation when he started his teaching career, he gave promise of
reaching a high position, leaving a fine place in Jersey Shore to continue
studies in college, where his ability was quickly recognized, and he was given
honors that fall to few young men. His family has the sincerest sympathy of the
entire community. He is survived by his father, Charles McDowell and Mrs.
McDowell and a half-sister, Laura May. Funeral will be from the house Friday at
2 p.m. in charge of Masons. (handwritten on article Sept. 14, 1923)
