from the Lebanon Pioneer for May 19, 1892:
Sarah Beck, or aunt Sallie Beck, as she was familiarly known, died at the residence of her daughter, Mary Burk, near Shenandoah, Iowa, May 8th, 1892, aged 79 years, 4 months and 1 day. She was the daughter of Christian and Eva Loop, and was born in Augusta county, Virginia. She was married to John Bowman in the year 1828. Was the mother of eight children and reared six of them, which are grown and married - four sons and two daughters. In the year 1865 her companion was taken by death, the children all having been married and settled. She afterwards married Anthony Beck, a highly respected citizen of Montgomery county, where they continued to live united until Mr. Beck's death in 1881, after which she passed most of her time with her children, the last two years of which she lived was with her son and daughter, of Iowa. Her remains were taken, accompanied by her son, Andrew Bowman, back to the old Providence church, of which she was one of its first members, where funeral services were conducted by Elder Johnson, of Lebanon.
After the remains were viewed by many old friends and relatives, they were laid to rest by the side of her former companion in the old Providence Cemetery, there to await the resurrection morn, when the graves are to give up their dead to be judged by Him that doeth all things well.
This ends the earthly life of one that endured many years of hardships and trials subject to this life of which she many times longed to depart that she might be at rest. Passing quietly away with a smile on her face, leaving the testimony that she has gone to enjoy that sweet rest.
Mr. Bowman, of Red Oak, Iowa, with the remainder of the friends, wishes to extend their sincere thanks to the people of New Ross and vicinity for their kindness shown at the burial of the deceased.
