John J. Beck, farmer and stock raiser of Lawrence County, Mo., is a native of Washington County, Ind. He was born September 15, 1855, and is a son of Huston and Jerusha (Seals) Beck, of German and English descent, respectively. Both parents are now dead, the mother having died in 1861, and the father in 1888. They had three children, of whom the subject of this sketch is the second. John J. Beck was reared on his father’s farm, and since arriving at years of maturity has given his whole attention to agricultural pursuits. He owns a fine farm of 230 acres under a fine state of cultivation, on which he has a nice residence, good barn and other outbuildings. Everything about his place indicates thrift and enterprise. He settled in Jasper County, Mo., in 1854, and remained until 1859, at which time he went to Texas. Remaining in the latter State four years, he crossed the plains to California, where he remained several years. In 1881 he was married in Jasper County, Mo., to Celia A. Horner, a daughter of Jacob and Lucy (Rusianborger) Horner. Mrs. Beck was born in Mercer County, Mo., in 1854. Politically Mr. Beck is a Republican, and is a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge, No. 248, Sarcoxie, Mo. He is one of the wealthy and highly respected citizens of the county, and may truly be called one of its self-made men, as he began life poor, and has risen to his present comfortable circumstances by his own efforts. Mr. and Mrs. Beck are the parents of two daughters, Lucy E. and Jerusha P. - From Genealogy Hound
