Charles Alonzo Beebe was born January 24, 1838, in Walton (Delaware County), New York to Samuel Whiting Beebe and Cornelia M. Ells Beebe. The Beebes and their twelve children moved from New York to Wisconsin between 1847-1849.
Charles A. Beebe was living in New Richmond (St. Croix County), Wisconsin when he enlisted on October 3, 1861, in Prescott’s Lyon Light Guard—what became Company A of the 12th Wisconsin Infantry. He died from wounds received in battle on October 1, 1863, in Natchez, Mississippi.
From The Prescott Journal of November 7, 1863:
A letter from the 12th Wis. says : A few days ago C. A. Beebe, and last night Corp. J. M. George [sic: McGeorge], of Co. A, 12th Wisconsin, died. They were both good soldiers, and their loss to the company is irreparable.
