Mrs. A.T.B. Beauchamp, widow of longtime Blossom physician, died Sunday, Jan. 5, at
10:25 a.m. in St. Joseph's Hospital here at the age of 101 years. The former Nancy
Womack, daughter of W.A. and Sarah E. (Thompson) Womack, Mrs. Beauchamp was born at
Hohenlinden, Miss., Sep. 24, 1867. The family came to Lamar County when she was 11
years old, settling at Petty, later moving to Blossom. She attended a school for young
ladies at Clarksville, before her marriage, March 22, 1891, at Blossom, and had made
her home there since. She was a member of Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Paris, where
she continued to attend services frequently until about a year ago. She also belonged
to the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Funeral services at Holy Cross Church here
will be conducted Tuesday at 10 a.m. by the rector, the Rev. James W. O'Connell, Fry

*THE PARIS NEWS, Monday, July 19, 1999, page 4A: 'Bringing back memories of Mrs.
Beauchamp ^By Skipper Steely - Guest Columnist - ^A call came the other day. It was
not much more unusual than the many that arrive over my line each week. Despite the
fact that I have not published any books on the Red River pioneers in about 13 years,
people still know of my interest and the huge collection of papers both here and in
the archives at that university in Commerce that keeps calling itself A&M. ^But when
Virginia McMillion of Austin brought up her great aunt and reminded me that I had
interviewed the 100 -year-old lady in 1967, the search mechanism in my mind went into
action. A few days later Virginia's letter arrived on my desk. In it was a copy of notes
she took while interviewing her aunt that summer. Prompted by that, I dug back into the
Lamar County Echo filles of 1967, and on September 7 there was my story and photos of
Mrs. A. T. Beauchamp, nee Nancy Womack. She was sitting on a couch with her former
pupil, Mrs. W. H. Armstrong. Both looked to be the same age, but there was a decade's
difference in the two. ^Dad sent me out to photo-graph Mrs. Beauchamp on a hot August
day just before I went back to East Texas State University for my senior year. 'Aunt
Nannie' was about to turn 100 on September 24 and was big news in Blossom. Her home
was across the tracks just as you enter the town from the west. It was hidden from
view, and as the dri-veway came through the trees, there was a quaint cistern in front
of a fairly old home. At the age of 21, it looked old to me. ^Maybe she convinced me
that high ceilings required no air con-ditioning in Texas summers. 'It never gets above
84 in this house,' she related, saying that most nights required a blanket. She did
bemoan the fact that since the advent of gas heating it had been hard to keep the
place warm in the winter unless supplemented with the fireplaces. ^Although it is not
in the story, I'll never forget that she insisted that living to this old age was of
no small credit to her habit of drinking one glass of sherry each afternoon. I believe
she said the drink always came at 4 p.m. I was impressed but never took up the habit.
Sherry is pretty dry, and my taste for it has never been developed, though wine is
palatable. ^The Womacks left Hohenlinden, Mississippi, when Nannie was 11 and settled
near Petty. She attended a school for ladies in Clarksville. Nannie's teaching career
was short. She began in a cabin northeast of Paris near Red Hill Cemetery and ended
when she married Dr. Augustus Thomas Beauchamp in 1891. Born near Shady Grove, he
graduated from Tulane Medical School and returned to practice in Lamar County in
1887. He died in 1950 at the young age of 86. ^Annie Mae Coward Armstrong said she
rode horse-back to the Pee Dee school in west [sic, should be northeast] Lamar County
75 years before my interview. Here she attended Mrs. Beauchamp's class. Miss Nannie
taught 35 students of all grades at that time. That experience with Mrs. Beauchamp
continued for me a lifelong enjoyment of being around those in their 80s and 90s.
Most who are healthy have a zest to last much longer. Those who are in good health
still exert an effort to be peppy. Only a few are angry. Some can't see but still
keep up. Hardy Moore does that, and so did my cousin Kathryn Gothard before she died
at 91. She always listened to CNN and the local news, asking me con-stantly what I
thought of that politician in Paris named Mike Malone. Or, as his former teacher,
she would marvel at how successful little Willie Ausmus had become. ^Mrs. Beauchamp
finally succumbed in January of 1969. Mrs. Armstrong died four years later at 92.
