10. JONATHAN3 BECK (GOTTLIEB2, CHRISTIAN1)108,109,110 was born October 11, 1857,
and died November 17, 1890 in near Stuttgart, Arkansas Co., Arkansas111,112. He
married MARY LANTZ113,114,115 April 01, 1880115. She was born September 17, 1858
in Williams Co., Ohio115, and died April 20, 1935 in Elkhart Co., Indiana116,117.
Notes for JONATHAN BECK:
BECK.-On the 17 th of November, 1890, in Arkansas Co., Ark., of swamp fever, Pre.
Jonathan Beck, aged 33 years, 1 month and 6 days. He complained for about 2
months, but took no medicine. He was about three miles from home, when he
became so ill that he could barely reach home, and forty-one hours atferward the
Lord called him away. He was a faithful worker in the ministry for nearly four years.
He leaves his deeply bereaved wife and four children, besides a large circle of friends
and acquaintances here in Arkansas, to mourn his death, yet they mourn not as those
who have no hope. His parents and other brothers and sisters live in Fulton Co.,
Ohio. They were telegraphed for, but being delayed for twenty-three hours in Reno,
he was already buried when they arrived. On the 8 th of December they started
homeward in company of the bereaved widow and her children. We trust they
reached their home safely. This is a heavy blow upon this neighborhood. Last Spring
