  Obituary- Beaubien, Elmyra FORMER SHAWNEE COUNTY WOMAN DIED IN OKLAHOMA (Wanette item in Shawnee, Okla. Morning News) Mrs. Elmyra Beaubien, pioneer woman of the Wanette district who passed away recently (March 11) was born in Logansport, Indiana, December 19, 1855, and died at the age of 74 years on her 54th wedding anniversary to Charlie H. Beaubien, her husband, who is yet living. Mrs. Beaubien, who before her marriage was Elmyra Murphy became the wife of Charlie Beaubien on March 11, 1875, at Silver Lake, Kan., where they made their home for several years prior to coming to Oklahoma in 1896 and settling on a farm near Wanette, where they have lived ever since and have been numbered among the pioneers of the county. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Beaubien, Nellie, Walter and Clara, the latter however, died in infancy and three grandchildren of later years, one of whom died in 1928. Mr. and Mrs. Beaubien were lovingly called “Uncle Charlie” and “Aunt Mide” among their relatives and friends and the latter’s death calls to mind the fact that one by one the pioneers of Pottawatomie county are rapidly slipping away. At her bedside during her last illness were the members of Mrs. Beaubien’s immediate family and a host of relatives and friends. She is survived by her husband, Charlie Beaubien, a son, Walter, of Oklahoma City; a daughter, Mrs. Nellie Neiswender of Los Angeles, Calif.: two brothers, Geo. Murphy of Buffalo. N. Y. and Wm. Murphy of Topeka, Kan; three sisters, Mrs. R. C. Wilson of Childwoll, N. Y.; Mrs. Ross Swain, of Rosedale, Ohio and Miss Margaret Murphy of Topeka, Kan.
