Earle
Wesley Beckham
1910 – 1987
Husband of
Adele Nilson Beckham and father of Pastor Ron Beckham.
His varied career included: Asst. Golf Pro of the Augusta,
Maine Country Club. He went on the golf pro circuit,
finally going broke in the “other Augusta” (Georgia),
and from there worked his way back to Maine. He
was a radio announcer and singer on the radio station
in Augusta, Maine, where Adele Nilson was the pianist
– Earle and Adele met at that station and subsequently
married in 1935. Earle Beckham became an engineer
at the shipyard in Portland, Maine, but his career as
an engineer was stopped by the Great Depression and
he worked as a barber during the remainder of those
difficult years. He moved his family to Long Beach,
California, as World War II started and worked at Douglas
Aircraft, where he was an Aerospace Engineer and at
one time was in charge of 500 men. Earle designed
the tail assembly of the C-124 and participated in the
design of the Apollo space capsule. He played
the violin during his early years and, after retirement,
learned to play the organ, becoming proficient to the
point where he gave lessons and was President of the
Hammond Organ Club.
