TWO CARROLL PIONEERS, BROTHERS, PASS AWAY WITHIN TWO DAYS' TIME
Two brothers, Wm. E. BECK of Burlington, and Jacob BECK, of near Young America, both pioneer settlers of Carroll county, have died since our last issue, Wm. E. being stricken while attending last church last Sunday with a pain in his heart. He was carried to his home where he died a half hour later. Jacob died after an extended illness of gangrene of the foot, caused by poor circulation and rheumatism.
Their life history is much the same. They were sons of Andrew and Julia [McCLARY] BECK, who came from Augusta county, Va. to Indiana in 1833, settling in Montgomery county. Here Wm. was born on May 4th, 1834. The family came to Tippecanoe county and later to Burlington township where they settled on a farm just east of Koro, where Jacob was born June 17, 1837. They grew to manhood with their seven brothers and three sisters upon the farm, which is still owned by two of the brothers. They were among the best citizens of Carroll county, honest, upright and true to their friends.
Wm. E. BECK was united in marriage with Malinda YOUNG, a pioneer daughter, December 31, 1863, and they went forth to make a home for themselves. Mr. Beck had retired from the farm some years ago and moved into the pretty little town of Burlington to spend the evening of his life in quiet contentment. He is survived by the widow and one daughter, Mrs. Ward COAPSTICK of near Burlington. Mr. BECK had united with the Presbyterian church at Geetingsville twenty-one years ago, but after moving to Burlington, he changed his membership to the Burlington Christian church. The funeral was held at the Burlington Christian church Tuesday at 10:30 by Rev. O. L. Prentice, of Romney. Interment in Burlington cemetery.
Jacob Beck Born June 17, 1837. Married to Hannah PATTY, September 6th, 1860. Went to live north of Young America, Cass county, has raised a family of well-to-do sons and daughters as follows: Charles B. BECK who is at the present time postmaster of Richmond, Ind.; A. N. BECK, a rising lawyer of Chicago; Thomas H. BECK, C. K. BECK and Leido BECK of Young America vicinity, and Mrs. O. R. McMILLEN, of Logansport. The old couple celebrated their golden wedding four years ago. He had been a member of the Presbyterian church for many years. The funeral was held at the Center U. B. church, Thursday at 10:30, by Rev. D. W. Zartman.
The dead men are also survived by four brothers, James M. of Burlington, Walter L., Charles C., and Albert of Sedalia and three sisters, Mrs. Sarah MAGGART of Elliot, N. D.; Mary E. BELL of Sedalia, and Mrs. Wm. MOSS of Culver.
Another brother, Norman, died last June, aged 74 years. Death has taken a heavy toll from the Beck family in the past six months and the community has suffered a great loss which will be felt for years to come.
