Since the fall of 1889 they have had their home in Blair and vicinity. Grandmother Beck has been of poor health for many years, and suffered much especially for the last months of her earthly life, till long expected death made an end of her trials the 3rd day of February at 12:45 a.m. She was brought up in the Lutheran faith and remained in it through her long life.
She will be remembered by her husband as a true and faithful companion and by her children as a kind and loving mother.
