Beck, the wife of the senior editor of the Recorder-Tribune, died at her home in this city Thursday evening, August 16, 1906, at 6:40 o'clock. Although it was known that she was in a critical condition, her death came as a surprise and shock to the community. Mary Hamilton Scott was born in Putnam county, Indiana, July 12, 1840, and at the time of her death Thursday, August 16, 1906, was aged sixty-six years, one month and four days. Her father, W. T. Scott, died some ten years ago and her mother eleven years earlier. She grew to womanhood in Bainbridge in her native state and was married to M. M. Beck Sept. 10, 1866. She joined the Presbyterian church in 1860, and remained a member until with her husband and one child, she came to Holton in 1869, where she united with the Methodist church .... During the civil war, when her three older brothers joined the army, she assisted her father, who was engaged in the mercantile business as well as in farming, in the store, and when he was called south by the sickness or wounds of his sons she took charge of the business and conducted it with exceptional ability. In addition to such duties, she was for a considerable time, the president and manager of the Soldier's Aid society of Northern Putman county ... Mrs. Beck was the mother of six children. The first born, Edwin, died in Indiana at the age of fourteen months. The others, Edward Scott, Martha Milton, William Thornton, Clara Mary (Mrs. John D. Myers) and Lillian Sarah, all grew to manhood and womanhood and were at her bedside when she died. Two grandchildren, Catherine Mary and John Edward Myers, also survive her. Two of her brothers died in Holton, Dr. J. T. Scott and W. W. Scott. Three brothers, Capt. J. A. Scott, S. H. Scott and Frank S. Scott, and one sister, Mrs. M. A. Hand, of Los Angeles, Calif., also survive her .... -------------------------- the following additional obituary was provided by Find A Grave contribuor, Keith in Kansas: Fri Aug 31, 1906 Brown County World, P.8: DEATHS. Beck--The death of Mrs. M. M. Beck, the beloved wife of M. M. Beck, of the Holton Recorder, is sincerely mourned and the bereaved husband and children have the heartfelt sympathy of all who knew her great worth. Of Mrs. Beck, the Holton Signal says: "She had one characteristic which endeared her to everyone, not alone to her own family, and her life-long friends, but to the stranger within her gates. It was the kindly interest she showed in every person with whom she came in contact. Some people assume interest, but the sham can always be detected. Mrs. Beck's was of the sort that was unmistakably genuine. One felt, in talking to her, that she reflected love, in her voice, in her cordial hand clasp, and in the sweet, kind expression of her face. That she loved everybody and was beloved by all, cannot be doubted. She was one of those rare souls, whom to meet, if only casually, who made the sun shine more brightly, and the day appear more fair." -------------------------
