General Notes: Husband - Dr. Samuel L. Beck
He was eleven years old when his parents moved to Lewisburg, Union County, Pennsylvania, and there he grew up on his father's farm. He had little taste for farming, but a great aptitude for study. One of his tutors was Samuel Kirkham, the author of the famous old English grammar. Mathematics and surveying were taught by his uncle, Daniel Ludwig, who resided near White Deer Mills, in the same county. For a short time he taught school and kept his father's books. Having decided to take up the profession of medicine, in which his uncle, Dr. Michael Ludwig, of Berks County, had won considerable reputation, he studied for some time in the office of Dr. VanValzah, of Lewisburg. In 1825 he entered, as a student, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, where he remained until he graduated in 1828, having, as a class-mate, Dr. Samuel Gross, the famous surgeon. After his graduation he returned to Lewisburg, where he settled permanently and took up the practice of his profession.
