Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from the Congregational-Christian church at Phillipsburg for Mrs. Viola Beck, 63, widow of the late J. Warren Beck, who preceded his wife in death January 4, 1941. Burial was made in the cemetery at Arlington.
...Mrs. Beck had been in declining health from a heart condition and complications for about seven years, being confined to her bed at intervals. She had recently been bed-fast and on Friday morning as her housekeeper, after attending to her needs, advised Mrs. Beck she would be out of the room to perform some other tasks for a short time, returned to find that her patient had gotten out of bed and fallen in her room, examination revealing a fractured hip as the result. The shock from this experience together with her frail body was more than she could overcome and death occurred at 9:30 Saturday morning. Her son, Erlin Beck of Homer, N. Y., had paid his mother a visit only a month ago. He arrived in Phillipsburg Monday to attend the last rites.
...Mrs. Beck was the older daughter of the late David W. And Esther Coate Elleman and of the nine children born to her parents, only one a brother, Francis Esty Elleman of Bradford, survives. Her marriage with J. Warren Beck was an event of January 30, 1877. One child Erlin, was born to them and survives his parents as does three grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and one great great-grandchild.
...The Becks had been residents of the Phillipsburg community for about 30 years maintaining their home at the late location for a period of 27 years. They resided in Union township before taking up their residence in and about Phillipsburg and have many relatives and friends in this community who were saddened to learn of her demise and called to extend sympathy to the family and attended the last rites.

OBITUARY
...Rev. Francis Hugh Beck was born in Vandalia, Montgomery County, Ohio, April 21, 1827, and died at his home in Kessler, Ohio, March 2, 1904, at the age of 76 years, 10 months and 11 days.
...As he grew toward the years of manhood he made his home for several winters with Enoch Sinks of whom he learned the shoe-making trade. He seemed like a brother to the children in that home, among whom were Davis and Noah Sinks, now of Troy. It was from this home that our brother was married to Amelia Cress, November 8, 1846, by Benjamin Furnas, Esq. She was the daughter of Abram and Mary Cress and their married life extended over a period of fifty-two years.
...In 1849 they moved to Shelby County, Ohio, where they lived for ten years. In 1859 they came back to their native township to live and at once became active members of the Lower Stillwater Christian Church. What memories cluster about the names of the sturdy men of that period who were co-workers with Brother Beck. Among them we may mention Emanuel Coble, John Guillen, John Wilds, Daniel Waymire, Enoch Sinks, John C. Waymire, Davis Mast, Andrew Sinks, William Coble and many others, all of whom have passed away.
...Brother Beck possessed a gift of exhortation from his early years and later he entered the gospel ministry. He was ordained at the session of the Miami Ohio Christian Conference held at New Carlisle several years age. Rev. C. J. Jones, D. D., preached the ordination sermon.
...Among those associated with Brother Beck in more recent years may be mentioned:P Rev. W. Al. Gross, William Pearson, C. C. Phillips, William Jay, Daniel Brewer, I. C. Waymire and H. Y. Rush.
...It can also be said of our departed brother that he was a public spirited man and was at times chosen to fill positions of public trust. He served two terms as trustee of Union township and was twice elected County Infirmary Director. He was filling this responsible position at the time of his death. The other members of the Infirmary Board, together with the Superintendent of that institution, attended the funeral service as a mark of respect to his memory.
...The greatest sorrow of our brother's life came to his home March 26, 1899, when his life-long companion passed away after an illness of twelve weeks duration.
...To them had been given seven children, four of whom are living: namely, George W. Beck, of Kessler, J. Warren Beck, of Wengerlawn, Mary J. Beck, who has always stayed with her father, T. A. Beck, of Brookville. There are also eight grand children living and six great grand children.
...On August 31, 1902, brother Beck was again joined in marriage with Elizabeth Eidemiller who survives him. His departure has brought great sorrow to her.
...The affliction of our departed brother had been growing worse gradually for a few years. About four weeks ago he suffered an acute attack of his malady and slowly sank away and when the end came he went peacefully to rest.
...The funeral services and burial took place at the West Union Church. The house was filled and many beautiful flowers rested upon the casket as expressions of respect and love for the departed and sympathy for the sorrowing family....The pastor was assisted in the services by Revs. I. C. Waymire and O. S. Thomas....His form was tenderly placed beside that of his companion of other years and we were all comforted with the assurance that our loss is his infinite gain.
