Mr. Charles Reynolds was married last Wednesday evening to Miss Lottie
Alexander, daughter of Mr. Henry Alexander. Mr. Reynolds by being a sober and
industrious man had saved $65.00. He kept it in his trunk at his father's
residence. Five dollars of this money was gold, the balance paper. He had been
out skating. When he came home he threw his skates in the trunk, closed it down
and left. His mother smelling smoke went up stairs to look for the cause. She
found the trunk on fire and about all that was left was the $5 gold piece. He
had some parlor matches in the trunk and in throwing down the skates they struck
the matches and set them off. He can't account for it any other way. He can't
tell the banks they were on or any thing about it, all that was left were the
ashes.

8768 Obituary for Alexander D. Beck from the 07.March.1912 issue
of "The Unique Weekly" of Risingsun, Ohio.
"Alexander D. Beck was born June 19, 1831, and departed
this life March 2, 1912, aged 80 years, 8 months and 11
days. He was married four times. He leaved one son, J.H.
Beck of Wills Point, Texas, a number of grandchildren and a
widow, Mary J. Beck.

He was a member of Company B, 31st Indiana Infantry, and
was a member of W.C. County Post, 476 G.A.R. of West
Millgrove, Ohio.

He joined church at about the age of 20 years, and while
not having a church near at hand he did not have any
opportunity to attend church much, but during his last
illness he spoke often of his church and desired if
possible to have a minister of the Church of Christ or the
Disciple Church.

The funeral was held Tuesday morning at West Millgrove,
conducted by Rev. Smith of Prairie Depot. Interment made in
West Millgrove Cemetery."

[From "Beck & Tittle Footprints" by Nell Truitt prepared
01.October.1998]:
Alexander D. Beck's birth is recorded in the Beck family
Bible which is the possession of Dr. Robert J. Beck in
1998. "Elick" as he was lovingly called in his youth, was
the first son born to his parents and he shared the name of
his maternal grandfather, Alexander, a Scotch-Irish
Baptist. Therefore, we assume the middle initial "D" was
for Devin.

A.D. Beck, listed in the 1880 Texas Census, named North
Carolina as his father's birthplace, and indicated his
mother's birthplace was unknown. Alexander was eighteen
month old when his mother, Susan, died giving birth to his
younger brother, John J. Beck. Alexander never really knew
his mother. His father married Rebecca Barker two years
after his mother died. She raised the young boys and their
sisters and gave birth to five more children by Andrew.

Evidently, Alexander grew up in the vicinity of Beck's
Mill, a small settlement in Howard Township, southern
Washington County, south of Salem Indiana, where his
grandfather, George Beck, Sr. had brought his family from
North Carolina in 1807. Alexander's father was 13 years old
in 1808 when the family made their home in the vicinity of
Organ Spring along Mill Creek and built a fifteen foot
square log-structure, grist mill.

Growing up on Beck's Hill, Andrew M. may have seen many
exciting times, as Indians came to the settlement and
professed great freindship for their "white brother." They
were given food and meal, and in the night, they would take
the horses. Young Alexander D. Beck learned to read and
write at the small school, built in 1811 at Beck's Hill,
and helped his father at the mill and on their farm in many
ways.

Alexander Beck is listed wtih his family in the 1850 Census
Index, page 101 of Washington County, Indiana at age 19 and
is listed in the 1860 census in Martin County, Indiana. As
a young man 21, in 1854, he went to Kaufman County, Texas,
with his father and step-mother when they left Indiana and
located there. However, he was in Lawrence County, Indiana
the following year where he married Mrs. Catherin Horsey
Greenwood. She gave birth to his four children.

Alexander D. Beck served in the Civil War. On the 26th day
of September, 1864, he was drafted and enrolled at
Columbus, Indiana as a Private in Co. B - 31st Regiment of
the Indiana infantry. He served for a few months at Lick
Creek, Tennessee. He began suffering from Chronic Diarrhea
and Rheumatish there, spent time in the hospitals in
Nashville, Tennessee and Jeffersonville, Indiana and was
released. All the remainder of his life he had some
problems with this diarrhea, as evidenced in his Pension
Paper filed in 1891-1898.

After his wife, Catherine, died, Alexander married Sarah
Francis Survance, who raised his three remaining children.
The family placed their belongings into an ox-drawn wagon
and made the long trip to what is now Wills Point, Van
Zandt County, Texas. After Sarah's death, A.D. Beck married
Mrs. Lucy F. (Cole) Palmer, age 34. She died ten months
after they were married. Alexander then wed Mrs. Mary Jane
(Mackey) Russell in Wills Point, Texas. Within a year, they
left and moved to the Mackey Estate (her parent's property)
in West Millgrove, Ohio.

Alexander's burial place is in River View Cemetery, Wood
County, Ohio. A large and stately gravestone marks this
serene place. On Memorial Day each year, a silver star with
the inscription GAR 1861-1865 is placed beside hsi stone,
indicating his service in the Civil War - Grand Army of the
Republic.
