A. J. BECKETT, assistant agent of the C.,B. & Q. Railroad, was born in Osceola Township, Clarke County, April 9, 1864. He is the eldest son of Robert and Mary E. (Delong) Beckett. His early life was passed upon a farm. When he was about seven years of age his parents removed to Osceola, where he entered a private school. Here he continued until seventeen years of age, and then entered the dry-goods store of Johnson & Ream, remaining there two years. Then Johnson sold out to Ream, and he went to Ord, Nebraska, with Ream, where he remained five months. Then he sold out to another party and Beckett returned to Osceola, after which he assumed his present position. Mr. Beckett belongs to the Knights of Pythias, and is also a member of the band.
