ALFRED D. BECK, a retired farmer of Lebanon, Boone county, Ind., was born in Union county, Ind. , October 31, 1823, a son of Abraham and Eliza (Winchester) Beck, the former of German descent and a native of North Carolina, the latter of English descent and a native of Tennessee.
Abraham Beck grew to manhood in North Carolina, having the advantage of the common schools, and was early taught industry and economy. In the fall of 1822 he removed to Union county, Ind., where he resided until 1838, when he removed to Boone county with his family and lived the remainder of his life. He was the father of ten children, four of whom are now living. Mrs. Eliza Beck represented one of the pioneer families of Tennessee, where she grew to womanhood and married, and later with her husband became one of the pioneer families of Indiana. She was the aunt of Gen. Winchester of Tennessee of the war of 1812. Mr. and Mrs. Beck experienced all the hardships of pioneer life of southern Indiana, having come to the state with limited means, where they were called upon to forge from the forest a home, in which they succeeded. They were good religious people, reared a large family as faithful workers in the church, and afforded them the educational advantages of that day.
Alfred D. Beck was reared a farmer and educated in the common schools of his native county, remaining upon the home farm with his parents until arriving at his majority, at which time he began life upon his own responsibility. He engaged in farming and stock-raising, and continued to reside in Jefferson township, Boone county, until 1887, when he removed to Lebanon, since which time he has lived a retired life, enjoying the fruits of his earlier labors. Mr. Beck was married April 6, 1848, to Miss Susan E. Sanders, the daughter of John and Sadie Sanders, which union was blessed by the birth of two children, namely: James H. deceased, and an infant, deceased. Mrs. Beck, the mother of these children, died in 1851, and Mr. Beck's second marriage occurred April 11, 1854, to Margaret J. Alexander, the daughter of John Alexander, and to this union seven children have been born, six of whom are now living, namely: Lelia, wife of Thomas Goodwin; Udorah, wife of Isaac Hooten; Susan, wife of George Taylor; Alexander W. ; Estella, wife of Charles Witte; and Grant, of Chicago. The one deceased was Lonzo.
Mr. and Mrs. Beck are members of the Christian church, and socially are highly respected wherever known. Politically Mr. Beck is a republican. The Beck family has always been recognized as among the most respected citizens of Boone county, and Mr. Beck's past industry and frugality entitle him to the enjoyment of his retired life. Mr. Beck owns 200 acres of finely improved land in Jefferson township.
