Talk:Alfred Beckley

Unsourced
This (below) doesn't seem to be in any sources that I can find, but I could be missing something. I've removed the content for now pending sources. And anybody know where this comes from. Neville Beckley seems to have been a minister. Alfred doesn't seem to have been a physician, and no source that I see describes him as a philanthropist.(olive (talk) 15:26, 3 June 2013 (UTC))

"He was also a physician, Methodist preacher, and philanthropist."
 * It's around, I'll need to find the sources. Can't recall how good they are at the moment. Pumpkin Sky   talk  15:42, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Physician, Methodist preacher, philanthropist
I removed the sentence "He was also a physician, Methodist preacher, and philanthropist." I believe the only source for this information was the findagrave page for Gen. Beckley, which had the exact same sentence, and I do not know whether Wikipedia took the information from findagrave or vice versa. I persuaded findagrave to remove the sentence. Gen. Beckley's autobiography does not mention him being a physician or a preacher or a philanthropist. See my web page on Gen. Beckley, which includes his autobiography.
