Maria Beaggley died 22 Aug 1901 aged 72 years. The Woodville Examiner reported:
We regret to record the death of Mrs William Beagley, which took place at the residence of her daughter, Mrs J. W. Steed, yesterday. About a week ago the deceased lady had a paralytic stroke from which she never recovered. Mrs Beagley was one of the early settlers in the Woodville district, having resided here for the best part of twenty years. She was of a very kindly disposition, and though she had reached the ripe old age of seventy-two years, her death will come as a great blow to a wide circle of friends. The funeral will leave Mr Steed's residence to-morrow afternoon.
