Thank you Thank You!! I am not directly related to this family,
but I have a lot of interest. William Edward Beck son of
Jacob and Catherine (Shuler) Beck (Sechest) came to
Boone County Indiana. It appears that he was in the
Spanish American War. He is Buied in Indianapolis.
Stone say Soldier. It appears that he either ran off or
devorced Eliza Jane. He left 3 children. He came to
Boone & Marion County Indiana prior to 1898 when he married
Margaret Imbler daughter of Addison and Sarah (Bishop)
The had 2 children and devorced. He them married
Margaret's sister Eva Imbler. William must have
been a TB carrier. As Most of the Margaret and Eva
siblings died of TB. He died Dec 24, 1906.
There were several families that were in Boone,
Marion and Montgomery and Fountain County, IN
that came from Davidson County NC. It seem
quite Odd that Eliza Jane married David Imbler who
was related to the 2 wives that William E. Beck married.
It appears that William Beck did not value his children
as both of his children by Margaret ended up in orphanages.
The information you supplied helped to make a positive
connection to William Beck . I am also interested in
Jacob H R Beck (he died in Civil War). Catherine
(Shuler) remarried George Sechrest. What happened to
George? Catherine was again listed as a widow.
I have a cousin that is directly related to these people.
He didn't know he had a family on this side. Would like
to located any of his cousins, etc. He is the son of
Betty (Bessie Beck) one of Williams children that
was left in an orphanage.
If you have time. Please find the sources of the information so
I can document all of this.
Thanks Again.
Connie
