Anne Elizabeth Hills was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and was the daughter of Stephen and Elizabeth Hills, of Ashford, Kent county, England. . . . It was here [Royal Leamington Spa, England] the girlhood of Anne Elizabeth was spent. She wandered about the picturesque ruins of Kenilworth and spent many happy hours under the magnificent trees and roaming at will through the historic halls of Warwick Castle, among the relics of a by-gone day. . . . On March 16, 1846, at Columbia, Missouri, William Beck and Anne Elizabeth Hills were married. They went first to Hannibal, Missouri; later moved to St. Louis; they then settled at Liberty, Missouri, where Mr. Beck was superintendent at the United States arsenal; and they lived three years in Indianapolis, Indiana.
"In 1849 when the wave of excitement following the discovery of gold in California swept over the land, Mr. Beck promptly struck out for the golden west. Before very much of the long journey had been accomplished his money was stolen and he was obliged to return. Three years later, with his wife and little boy, he again turned his face toward the sunset land; this time Oregon."
