Travel With a Beveridge has taken a break, due to a death in the family

June Hart Beveridge, 80, of Third Street, Webster, died Friday, May 21, 2010, in her home following a long struggle with emphysema.

She was born July 2, 1929, in Newell, Fayette County, Pa., a daughter of Howard Swope and Iva Dail Coughenour Hart.

On July 5, 1952, she married James Robert Beveridge, who died March 5, 2007.
