Charles Yale Beach

Charles Yale Beach (March 4, 1847 – October 16, 1917) was an American real estate investor, inventor and businessman from New York.

[1] He then studied philosophy at Yale University, at the time of the presidency of Theodore Dwight Woolsey, and was recorded a student between 1860 and 1864 until his graduation.

[3][4][1] In 1865, he returned from the excursion of raising the flag at Fort Sumter aboard the brig Arago, with Maj. Gen. Robert Anderson, abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher, Lt. Gov.

The Fort Sumter Club would be formed during the flag-raising event, by the passengers of another steamship, which included General Edwin R. Yale, its cofounder and first president.

[22] It was for many years one of the seats of the New York Sun, the penny press newspaper owned by his grandfather, Moses Yale Beach.

[1] A year later, the enterprise would be involved in what would be known as the Morewood Lake Ice Company explosion, and Beach would be a witness during the investigation.

[29] He acquired about 100 acres of land on South Mountain, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, with partner Dewitt Bruce, to connect their existing properties.

[33] Charles Yale Beach died in Atlantic City on October 16, 1917, and was buried at Mountain Grove Cemetery in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
