Reported age at time of death was 55 years, so evidently born about 1831. Apparently the Mary PAGE who married 12 MAR 1867 in Muscogee County, Georgia, to Jesse R. BECK. The marriage record doesn't include a title (Miss or Mrs.). Since her age was in the range of 32 to 36 years old, this may not have been her first marriage, in which case PAGE would not be her maiden name.


Mary Jane Galer's list of persons buried in the Old Cemetery section of Linwood shows: Mary BECK died aged 55 years (cause of death not reported); interred 14 DEC 1886 - Sexton Abraham ODOM.
