Beekman family

Biographical notes:

Cornelius C. Beekman was the founder and owner of Beekman Bank in Jacksonville, Oregon. His son, Benjamin became a lawyer in Portland and was a faculty member of the University of Oregon law school from 1907-1915, when the law school was based in Portland. Carrie Beekman, daughter of Cornelius and sister of Benjamin, provided for the funding of the Beekman chair in history at the University of Oregon, in addition to her many other substantial donations.
