    • MARY KATHRYN BEIDE McFETRIDGE DOAN, born in Fosterburg, Madison County, Illinois the daughter of Bavarian immigrants John BEIDE and Mary HELM. Mary and her five siblings were orphaned at an early age when both of their parents died in the small pox outbreak in Alton, Illinois. The Beide children were placed under the guardianship of Fritz Klinke, a neighboring farmer in Fosterburg who managed the farm and according to family lore, made off with the Beide land. Mary Beide married Scottish born JAMES McFETRIDGE on February 8, 1882 in St. Louis, Missouri. James and Mary had three daughters: Isabelle Mary, Alice Josephine and Anna Mae McFetridge. The marriage was not without its moments but proved ultimately an unhappy one and following their divorce, Mary married JOHN DOAN in Alton, Illinois on May 17, 1900. Mary and John lived with her daughter Mrs. Edward (Anna) Juneau in Wood River in their later years. Mary Kathryn Beide McFetridge Doan died in Wood River on October 20, 1930.

      Mary was also referred to as "Katie" and was the sister of Barbara Beide Shannon, John Jr., Joseph, William and Fred Beide.

      Mrs. Mary Doan, 69, wife of John Doan of Wood River, died unexpectedly Monday evening at 11 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Edward Juneau, 613 Penning Ave.

      Mrs. Doan was born and reared in the neighborhood of Fosterburg and was a member of the Beide family there. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Beide.

      She spent the greater part of her life in Alton, moving here shortly after her marriage to James McFetridge. To this union three daughters were born. She was later married to John Doan, who survives her.

      In addition to her husband and daughter, Mrs. Juneau, two other daughters, Mrs. Belle Adams and Mrs. E. W. Lasbury, and two brothers, Fred Beide of York, Neb. and Joseph Beide of Galesburg survive. She also leaves 18 grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

      Funeral arrangements are incomplete, awaiting word from the brother in Nebraska. Services will be held from the Streeper funeral home in Wood River to St. Bernard's Church.
