Lucy Jane Fields was born on the 14th of December 1849. At the age of eighteen, on the 5th of February 1868, she married Frederick William Beck who arrived from Germany in 1853. Frederick was twenty years old. Both of them were orphans.

Frederick and Lucy had a total of seventeen children - but we only know the names of a few of them. Most of their children were "either born dead or died when just babies."

Children:
1. Emma Elizabeth Beck, (1869 to 1945) married Owen Spencer Adams
2. Frederick William Beck (1873 to 1954) married Lois May Baulos
3. John Henry Beck (1877 to 1879)
4. Cary Jane Beck (1880 to 1884)
5. Eddie Beck (1883 to 1883) - still born
6. Edith Beck (1886 to 1886) - still born

Late in life Lucy, her son, and daughter-in-law attended a revival meeting held by William Ashley "Billy" Sunday. They had their picture taken at this event. They also attended the funeral for President Lincoln. Several Beck brothers worked for Lincoln.

Frederick William Beck died in 1911 at the age of 63. He and Lucy had been married for forty-three years. Lucy passed away on the 28th of December 1927 at the age of 78.
