Members of the Maiden family likely became acquainted with a Michagander named Warren Beamish when he took a job working on the Maiden place northeast during the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was probably around the same time that they came to know the Warren girls -- Maude, Gladys, and Ellen.
Maude married a Pace, Ellen a Crowe, and Gladys married Warren Beamish. Some of the family may be just as surprised as we were, when we learned about the wartime heroics of the guy known simply as "Slim." That was a subject of this Tribute to Slim story that we wrote in 2007.
