General Notes: Husband - Adam Beck

---

He secured his education in the district schools near his home. He assisted his father, until, feeling that his country needed his services, he enlisted in September, 1861, in Company D, 78th P. V. I., under Col. William Sirwell. His regiment was assigned to the Army of the Cumberland, and was with Sherman in the Atlanta campaign. After three years of arduous service, they turned over their arms at Nashville, Tennessee, and, returning to Kittanning, Pennsylvania, were mustered out and honorably discharged. On returning to his home, he resumed farming, and on his marriage located at a place adjacent to his parents' homestead, having previously purchased 139 acres of but slightly-improved land. By industry and perseverance he placed sixty acres under the plow, and erected a commodious two-story frame residence, a large barn and good outbuildings, located three miles east of Cherrytree. In connection with general farming he engaged in stock-raising, feeding most of his product to his stock, and the timber on his land he converted into lumber, which he rafted down the river to market.
He was a member of Westover Post, No. 590, G. A. R., and in politics was an ardent Republican, doing all in his power to promote the interests of his party. He filled almost all of the township offices.
