• Notes

  She was born in Detroit Michigan and came to Calif in 1860 over Donner Pass. - SOURCE:Warren Buschmann (warrenbuschmann@worldnet.att.net) - Susan was a real character who smoked a clay pipe. In later years she was nearly blind. She would stand out on the porch of the "Old Place" in Paradise with food for the dog. "Damnit dog, if you don't come and get this I'll give it to the chickens". The poor dog was standing at her feet waiting for his food. One day she was crossing Berry Creek with Henry A. and Beulah Buschmann and missed her footing on the rocks and fell into the creek. She sat there for a few seconds and then checked to see if she had gotten water in her pipe. She hadn't, so she puffed on it a few times to get it going good, and then got up out of the creek and continued on her way to wherever she was headed, totally unconcerned about being wet. She raised chickens for food and eggs. She normally sold the eggs in Paradise but when a grocer there offered her less than she thought they were worth, she walked the 6 miles to Magalia to get the price she wanted. She died at the house on Buschmann Road in Paradise and is buried along side her baby William, husband, and other family members. There is some confusion as to the parents of Susan. The death certificate indicates that her father was Alexander Beede of PA. Family notes says he was John E. Beede of NY. Other notes from Florence Styles (?) say her mother was J. E. Beede B. May 22, 1821 ( a native of NY); D. Dec 5, 1894, the same dates we have for Alexander Beede. Working to clear this confusion. - Susan indicated that her father was born in Maine and her mother was born in New York, on both the 1910 and 1920 censuses. Her birth place was indicated as Michigan.
