[published 1894]
Mr. Gowdy's partner, V. C. Beckett, was born in Michigan in 1853, educated in the common schools and learned the printer's trade in Elkhart, Indiana. He was married to Dora Dryden in 1886 and died in Springdale, Missouri, in April, 1893. Beckett had been in ill health for some time, consumption, and in his despondency leaped from a window to the pavement below, dying instantly. He held several good newspaper situations, the Burlington Hawk Eve, with "Bob" Burdetre, Peoria Transcript, Denver News and Colorado Springs Republic. He was a clever writer in both prose and poetry, (a sample will appear later). He came to Norton county in the summer of 1879, leaving in the spring of 1881.
