General Notes: Husband - Jacob J. Beck


He was educated in the schools of his time, and commenced life as a common laborer. At twenty-five years of age he entered his father's mill, where he worked until his marriage (1841), when he engaged in farming in Wayne township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. In 1875 he retired from active business, and moved to Dayton.
He was a stanch republican, was always a warm friend of education, and served for several years as a school director. He formerly was a member of the Reformed church, but some years ago united with the Methodist Episcopal church of Dayton, of which he was a trustee.
