Born: April 15th, 1866 in New York City, N. Y.
Died: January 21, 1935 in Montecito, California.
Buried: Tarrytown, New York. Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
BEECKMAN, ROBERT LIVINGSTON, forty-eighth governor of Rhode Island (1915- 21) , was born in New York city, April 15, 1866, son of Gilvert Livingston and Margaret (Foster) Beeckman, and a descendant of Wilhelmus Beeckman (also spelled Beekman), the ancestor of the famous family of that name in New York. Following a public school education, he entered upon a business career, and at the age of twenty-one became a mem- ber of the firm of Lapsley Beeckman & Co .. with which he remained until 1906.
He served as a representative in the state legislature for three terms, 1909-12, and the state senate for two terms, 1912-14. It was in the state senate that Mr. Beeckman spon- sored the workmen's compensation bill, which brought him prominently before the Re- publican organization as a candidate for governor in 1914, to succeed Aram J. Pothier. In the general election Mr. Beeckman had five opponents, Patrick H. Quinn (Democrat) , Fred D. Thompson (Progressive), Edward W. Thienert (Socialist) , Ernest L. Merry (Prohibition), Peter McDermott (Socialist-labor) , and he received a clear majority at the polls.
His administration was notable for the policy of reform for the state prisons. hospitals, insane-asylums and other state institutions. He was re-elected in 1916. The United States was preparing to enter the World war when Gov. Beeckman was inaugurated (1917) and his second administration had to do with the war activities which were carried on in all the states, and to which he gave his hearty support. After aiding in the mobilization of the resources of the state for the war and aiding in the carrying out of the marine ac- tivities on the shores of the state Gov. Beeckman made a trip to France where he per- sonally visited the Rhode Island troops on the battle line.
Mrs. Beeckman was also active in war work, heading the Rhode Island unit of the Red Cross, and took part in the other of the women's activities of the war. The war was in its most crucial period when the time for election of a governor came in the fall of 1918 and he was elected for a third term.
He retired to his private business in the spring of 1921 and in the following years was the Republican nominee for the U. S. senate to oppose Sen. Peter Goelet Gerry, but was defeated. He was director of the Industrial Trust Co., The Newport Trust Co., and the International Silver Co. He was member of the Episcopal church, the Knickerbocker, Union, Metropolitan and Metropolitan Club of Washington, D. C. He was married in New York city, Oct. 8, 1902 to Eleanor Thomas of Zanesville, O., who died in 1920, and again, Sept. 1, 1923, to Edna Marston. There were no children by either marriage.
