BEACHAM, BROWN, SCHMIDT

I seek any available information re my following ancestors.

ELIZABETH E. BEACHAM and MENTOR ALSWORTH BROWN were married in Beatrice on 18 May 1873 at the home of their good friend, State Senator NATHAN KIRK GRIGGS. Minister S.P. Watson officiated the service that was witness by Griggs, OLIVER M. ENTROS, ANNIE GRIGGS, and H.P. WEBB. Mentor and Elizabeth subsequently had three children while living in Beatrice: MABEL LOUISA, OLIVE, and THEODORE JAMES.

Elizabeth was the daughter of JAMES S. and HANNAH (nee Brown) BEACHAM, who had a Nuckolls Co. farm at Beachamville, named for the family.

Mentor arrived in Beatrice via a stage from Council Bluffs, IA, on 19 Jul 1871 and immediately went to work as a typesetter at the weekly Beatrice Express newspaper. He was promoted to production foreman in 1873 and, the following year (1 Jan 1874), he became a junior partner in the paper. In 1877, he bought the newspaper from Colonel Colby, started publishing daily, and renamed the newspaper the Beatrice Daily Express.

In 1880, however, he and Elizabeth divorced. Three years later, he remarried, this time to SOPHIA T. SCHMIDT, daughter of local grocer C.J. SCHMIDT.

He served in the Legislature of Nebraska. He was married to Ethel Cornell, daughter of WILTON G. and ALICE J. (BEERUP) CORNELL. The RICHARD F. STOUT family lived in Lincoln, Lancaster Co, NE.

Was JOHN PINKERTON STOUT a son or grandson of ANDREW STOUT, born 10 Oct 1777 and wife HANNAH PINKERTON?

I am most anxious to locate any possible descendants in any of these STOUT lines, but especially that of OSCAR VAN PELT STOUT.
