Jury Impaneled For Three Years Brings In Verdict
WASHINGTON
A coroner's jury impaneled three years ago returned its verdict yesterday?that Alfred L. Potter's death Jan. 29, 1949 was accidental. The verdict exonerated Arnold M. Dye and Leon C. Rockett, employes of the Mayflower Hotel, who were located only last month. Both testified Potter begged money from them in a tavern, was dissatisfied with the quarter they gave him, and followed them outside. They said Dye pushed Potter and when he failed to get up they assumed he was too drunk to stand. Potter died two weeks later at Mt. Alto Veterans Hospital from a skull fracture, pneumonia and exhaustion.
[Note: Arnold's half brother, Marvin "Bob" Beavers worked as doorman at the Mayflower Hotel from 1949 to 1992. Bob was known as the "Mayor of Connecticut Avenue." More than likely Bob got him a job at the hotel.]

OBITUARY
Northeast Miss. Daily Journal; 14 Feb. 2008
TUPELO - Dexter Daniel Beavers, 85, died Friday, Feb. 8, 2008, in Chattanooga, Tenn., where he lived with his daughter and son-in-law.
He was born May 29, 1922, in Raven, Va., to Dexter Boyd Beavers and Stella Maynard Beavers. He volunteered for duty with the U.S. Army Signal Corps and served three years in New Guinea and the Philippines during World War II.
Upon returning, he married and began a preaching career spanning over 55 years in locations from Tennessee to Florida and Virginia to Mississippi, including radio and television evangelism. He preached full-time for churches in Fulton and Houston, Miss., before retiring in 1992 and moving to Tupelo, where he was very active for more than 10 years in the teaching and outreach work of the Gloster Street Church of Christ.
During that time he was also a member of the Tupelo Luncheon Civitan Club and a charter member and on the Board of Directors for The Shepherd Center. He came out of retirement in 1999 to serve the Lawson Chapel Church of Christ in Prairie, before finally retiring five years later due to ill health.
Throughout his life he was dedicated to helping others, no matter what their situation, in the name of the Lord. His daily motto was simple: "Do it now!" He will always be remembered for his active card ministry, sending birthday and anniversary wishes to many of the people he taught, baptized or married during his active years. At his request, his body has been given for scientific research through Anatomy Gifts Registry. A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, at Gloster Street Church of Christ in Tupelo.
Survivors include two children, Dexter Samuel (Laura) of Charlotte, Tenn., and Emile Ann (Richard) Salisbury of Chattanooga, Tenn.; one brother, M.R. "Bob" (Opal) Beavers of Marion, N.C.; five grandchildren, five great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Sarah. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be sent to Boyd-Buchanan School, 4626 Bonnieway Drive, Chattanooga, TN 37411, Attention: R. Perry (Memorial for Emile's dad); or East Tennessee School of Preaching and Missions, 6608 Beaver Ridge Road, Knoxville, TN 37931 (In memory of Dexter D.

OBITUARY
Marvin "Bob" Beavers born July 4, 1926 in Raven Virginia, passed away May 24, 2014 peacefully surrounded by his loving family at home, with the help of Hospice of McDowell County. He was the son of Dexter Boyd Beavers, Stella Maynard Beavers and Hannah Reedy Beavers. He was preceded in death by his sister Nell Beavers Barry, two brothers Dexter and Gayle Beavers and one half brother, Arnold Dye.
Prior to retirement in Marion, Bob worked as the doorman of the Mayflower Hotel on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC from 1949 to 1992. He was honored with the distinguished award of National Doorman of the Year in 1985 and was lovingly referred to as the ?Mayor of Connecticut Avenue?. He traveled the world as his picture graced the Stouffer Hotel advertising brochure. He was also the recipient of the Thurston Dupar Inspirational Award for exemplary service in 1975 and several lesser awards over the years. He was honored to serve such people as Queen Elizabeth, Khrushchev, Winston Churchill and 11 presidents with his favorite being Harry Truman who walked by every day and stopped to chat.
He loved people and serving them. He never met a stranger and everyone who knew him loved him. He will be missed by his family, friends, MCA people he volunteered with, his orange buddies to whom he sold over 100 cases each year, the Senior Center Meals on Wheels volunteers, the Senior Games Competitors and all those dear friends he met and competed against while bowling.
Those he left to cherish his wonderful life and remember him as a precious, loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather are his wife of 54 years, Opal Westall Beavers, daughter Debbie Gagliano and husband Jeff, daughter Barbie Beavers and son David Beavers with his wife Barbara. His grandchildren are Celeste Agett and husband Chandler, Jordan and Anthony Waterloo, Tony Gagliano and wife Katie, Madison and Rilee Beavers. His greats are Calieigh and Canon Agett. He will also be missed by many other family members.
Services will be held at Maranatha Baptist Church, Saturday May 31, 3 pm. We will be receiving from 2 to 3.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Hospice of McDowell County, 575 Airport Road, Marion, NC 28752.
