==Education==
==Marriage & Children==  
My schooling took place in the one-room schoolhouse where Frederick Wagoner now lives, above the George Walk farm atop Altamont hill. My father, a trustee of Knox School District 4, built the present edifice after the former schoolhouse burned down. Cost: $500.


Miss Schoonmaker was my first teacher. One of my duties was school janitor. Math has always been a favorite study, but they all were. Later on, one of the students brought an arithmetic problem to another teacher, but she couldn't solve it. She never liked me after I had worked the answer.  
At about 1870, he married Sarah L.______ <ref name="Berne History Family Files">bernehistory.org</ref> and they had the following known children:

''Mrs. Loren Barber presented a “This Is Your Life” story of the events in both celebrants’ lives. The Knox Reformed Sunday school used this gala event as an occasion to honor Mrs. Beebe for her 37 years of uninterrupted and faithful teaching in the church. A certificate of faithfulness was presented to her. Many of her former Sunday school pupils living in the area were present to honor her. Mrs. Beebe was reminded of the influence her teaching has had in so many lives, and how far away from her home church this influence is felt today, through her numerous pupils living in many parts of the world.''

''A poem for the occasion was written by Mrs. Betty LaGrange of Westerlo, a former Sunday school pupil. Master of ceremony was Robert Reed of Altamont. The “treasuries” used for the money gifts were unique in that they symbolized Mr. and Mrs. Beebe’s hobbies. A gladioli bouquet contained the gifts and buds and flowers. Mr. Beebe raises 4,000 gladioli for a hobby. A loaf of bread contained the rest of the gift, showing that Mrs. Beebe uses baking as a hobby. The beautifully decorated golden wedding cake was baked by Mrs. Wallace Quay, a former Sunday school pupil of Mrs. Beebe.''
