Lenawee County Probate Judges 1885
Judge Beecher was a good lawyer, and of a most genial and kindly nature. He made friends wherever he went. Sympathetic and generous, he brought to the discharge of the duties of the office qualities and qualifications rarely found combined in any one man. Nearly all the people in the county personally knew and loved him, and their esteem was evidenced by three times electing him judge of probate of the county. He held the office from January 1, 1861, until his death in 1871. He died in the prime of manhood. For nearly eleven years he was judge of probate, and by reason of the practice hereinbefore alluded to, which has become settled in this county, at least, he was during all that time the friend and counselor of all who had business in his court, doing the work, not only of the judge, but of counsel as well.
