    Notes:



    MEMORIES... by Patricia Beck Hormell
     Hunting, fishing, growing strawberries and rescuing animals and home made candy, that's what I remember most. He was an avid hunter, even taking trips to Colorado to hunt for big game. He made a jacket and pair of pants out of tanned deer hide and wore them quite a bit. There was always plenty of wild meat at mealtimes; including elk, deer, rabbit, squirrel, pheasant and duck. Oh, and fish! We went fishing in all the nearby rivers and creeks.
    There always seemed to be some animal that needed rescued and cared for. I can remember fox, racoon, opossum, rabbits and birds and many others making there home in the cages Grandpa had set up for them while he cared for their needs.
    Strawberries were plentiful, he had a very big patch where I helped do the picking, or mostly eating!
    Grandpa liked to make candy and he filled the house with all kinds of candy at Christmas. Fondants, seafoam, and chocolate covered creme drops are some that I remember setting on the wire racks cooling or drying. Very tempting!
    Sometimes the things you remember are funny things that someone taught you to do. Grandpa taught me to put sugar on sliced tomatoes, and also to crumble saltines in milk. I still put sugar on my fresh sliced tomatoes, they taste so good!
    Grandpa had false teeth but never wore them. I think he put them in a drawer after about a week of trying them and never took them out again. It didn't stop him from eating anything though, his gums must have been really tough.
    He was a carpenter and we often visited the sites where he was building a house. That was fun, climbing all over everything and driving my mother crazy. He built many homes in Miami, Shelby and Montgomery Counties. He didn't have anything but hand tools or his hand written notes and figures.
    Grandpa didn't believe in smoking, drinking or swearing but he did have one vice, which was gambling. He would go to town on Saturday night and gamble.
    It wasn't until after grandpa passed that I found out he was very interested in genealogy. Wish I had known when he was alive.

    NOTES... by Thearen Beck
     Walter left home at age 8 after he threw a hatchet at his stepfather (George Buckey) because he was beating his mother (Cynthia Ann Kelley) and Buckey ask him to leave. He went to live with Henry Decker in Geneva, Indiana for clothes and board. At age 10 he lived with a Mr. Zimmerman and learned German. Zimmerman died; Walter moved to Buena Vista, Indiana and lived with a preacher, Christable Aegly for 3 years and then with Ed Mann, who Walter said was real mean so he ran away and moved back to Henry Deckers' for 3-1/2 years. At this time he moved back to Ohio and lived in Shelby and Miami Counties doing any kind of work and farming. In 1903 Walter met and married Ethel and 2-years later moved to Mary Vances' house where he raised tobacco on 10 acres. They packed up and headed for Lawton, Oklahoma to homestead. Stopped in St. Louis on the way and almost got robbed. Stayed in a rooming house (2-days) across the street from the Depot, on the 25th floor. Watched a 20-mule team load gravel on flat boat. It was a rough section of town. They were impressed by the market section; bananas 10 cents/dozen. Offered steady job by contractor. Went by train to Lawton and offered a job in Tulsa, Oklahoma but refused. Rented a one room house by the depot and worked as a carpenter. Hunted bobcat with brindle dog. There was a smallpox epidemic so Walter sent Ethel back to Geneva, Indiana in June 1906 as she was pregnant. He shipped their dishes Bill of Stray and Walter followed in July. Worked as a stone mason in Geneva. Moved to Troy, Ohio; Nashville, Ohio; Port Jefferson, Ohio and sold fruit trees in Pennsylvania. Bought a house in Kessler, Ohio and it burned to the ground with everything in it. They lived in Casstown, Ohio; Christenburg, Ohio; and Anna, Ohio where Thearen was born; then moved to Port Jefferson when Thearen was 6 months old; to Kessler, Ohio; and then bought a farm near Sidney, Shelby County, Ohio; and back to Port Jefferson. Continued working as a carpenter/general contractor until he was in his 70's.

    Dear Sir:
    I have received your letter after the post office has traced me down from place to place, which has 8 different addresses from the letter I received through the Immigrant Agent in my City from Mr. John Beck, Parkway, Essex, England and received the book from him, of which I was very proud.
    Sometime after World War I, I wrote a letter to him and never got any reply and considered that he was one of the unlucky ones of the spoils of War. I am very proud to know that you are in the business you are in, saving souls. I think that is the highest honor of any other profession and to know that you have had the ones that has been bestowed on you as a minister and the interest you had in keeping the history of the noble family of the Irish family of Beck. I am enclosing the name and address of the Sidney Librarian.
    I live just 5 miles out of Sidney and 9 miles from Ann, Ohio where I got the first correspondence from Mr. John Beck, Essex, England. We are building a beautiful new library in Sidney, which will be ready for occupancy about September. If possible, I would like very much if it could be arrange if you could send the history to me, so I could present it to the library when it is dedicated.
    Now I will tell you of part of my life. I was born March 4th 1878 near Covington, Ohio to Robert and Cynthia Ann Kelly Beck, who have passed beyond. Father died in 1879 and Mother died at the age of 96. There were 8 children, 5 boys and 3 girls of which all are deceased, except one brother 82 years and myself, 80 years. From the time I was 8 years old, I worked for my board and clothes from one place to another 'til I was quite a man. Some places were like Heaven to me and some were so bad that it brings tears to my eyes when I think how cruel they were to me. When I was 25, I met a beautiful little girl and fell in love and was married 55 years ago. There were 4 girls and 1 boy born to us.
    I have been a carpenter for 50 years. I have my own home and have retired. I have but a few enemies and a host of friends. I don't chew, drink or smoke and am an ardent hunter of both big and small game and love to fish and all clean sports. May God help you in all your work and every day be a better one.
    We have deer, bear, elk, moose and some caribou and reindeer, which come down from the far North Alaska each winter. For small game, we have hare, wild turkey in some places, geese, ducks, squirrel, rabbits, grouse and some sage hens and have some beautiful water to fish in. We raise all kind of livestock and grain. We have at Vandalia, Ohio, the World's Trap Shoot, which each year the World Champion is awarded Champion of the World.
    Our Irish family in U.S.A. celebrates St. Patricks Day. They had the largest parade this year they ever had. We have beautiful large Presbyterian Church in Sidney.
    Thanking you for your most grateful letter on the further gleanings from the past, of which I cherish with the greatest esteem and have cherished all my life, and hoping to hear from you and your family and all about your Country, I remain,
    Yours in faith forever,
