General Notes: Husband - William G. Beck


In his younger days he attended the township school, and assisted his father on the farm, later taking a commercial course at Mount Union, Ohio. Returning home, he was employed in various ways until 1895, when he located at Echo, Wayne township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, conducting the store at that place for seven years. Selling his stock, he engaged with the railroad company for a few years. When rural free delivery was established, he became the carrier out of Echo, receiving his appointment Sept. 15, 1905. For seven years he served as postmaster at Echo, so he was thoroughly conversant with postal matters. A stanch Republican, he served his district as school director. The Methodist Church held his membership, and he was deacon in the same, as well as one of its liberal supporters. The family residence at Echo which he owned was built by him in 1904.
