To most of the letters which he received on this occasion Canon Beadon sent immediate replies, written in his own hand. Death In the autumn of 1878 he had a severe attack of bronchitis, and from that time was confined to his room. He continued, however, to take a lively interest in the management of his farm, and in hearing of the success of younger sportsmen. During the early part of 1879 he gradually lost strength, and died very quietly on 10 June of that year, aged 101.
