General Notes: Husband - George Beck


He grew to maturity in his native land and there received a common school education. In 1874 he emigrated to America and settled at Modoc, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in the oil business with his brother John, who had settled in America in 1872. He remained at Modoc until 1876, then came to Karns City and operated in that field. In 1878 they purchased the Producers Refinery Company, and carried on the business until the death of John Beck, in January, 1894. George Beck then took over the entire business, which he conducted until his death. He was a stanch Democrat, and served in the city council. He was a member of Derrick Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Karns City Lodge. Mr. Beck took an active interest in public movements and was an enterprising and progressive citizen. By close attention to business affairs he accumulated a handsome competence, the result of his own industry and business ability.
