Military veteran honored in 1899 Memorial Day article; Tyrone Daily Herald, 30 May 1899.
BECK—At the residence of his brother, Henry L. Beck, in Warriorsmark township, Sept. 28th, 1875, Jeremiah B. Beck, aged 40 yrs. 6 mo., and 21 days.
Deceased was a soldier of the late rebellion, a member of the 49th regiment Pa. Vol. Although slightly wounded on the head by a piece of shell, he served his full term of three years. Several times he suffered an attack of depression of the brain, caused by this wound, which finally proved fatal. He professed faith in Christ and united with the Presbyterian church a few weeks previous to his death. He had many warm friends, as was attested by the large concourse which followed his remains to the family burying ground, where he now awaits the reunion of the hosts who have fought the battle for freedom. His end was peaceful, and now he dwells forever amid the immortalities of God. S. R.
