  Lockport NY Union Sun Journal - 1/13/1947 Ill for more than 5 years. Walter K. Beccue, 64, retired police sergeant and Spanish-American War Veteran, died Sunday evening at his home, 32 Carlton Place. Mr. Beccue was born in Lockport March 24, 1882, son of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Beccue. His father op- erated a hotel in Park Avenue. The son attended the former Hawley and Washburn Street schools. When war broke out with Spain he answered the call to the colors and served with the 42nd Regiment, U.S. Volunteers, in the Philippines. Before failing health forced his retirement in 1932, Mr. Beccue served 23 years in the Lockport Police Department. Appointed a patrolman on April 1, 1909, he rose from the ranks to detective sergeant and served in that capacity for sev- eral years. Unable to perform the latter duties because of his health, he served as desk sergeant for a short time before he retired. Mr. Beccue was a member of the Hickory Club and Lockport Lodge, 73, F&AM. Surviving are his wife, Amelia Buhs Beccue; a daughter, Mrs. Floyd Beyer of Wilson and three sons, Karl W., William A. and Don- ald R. Beccue of Lockport. There are seven grandchildren.
