           [305-306]

           GOTTFRIED BECK, JR., farmer, section 16, Sebewaing Township,
        was born in Scio, Washtenaw Co., Mich., April 22, 1839, and is the
        son of GOTTFRIED and MARY (SCHILLING) BECK  (See sketch of
        GOTTFRIED BECK.)  He was but nine years of age when he came with
        his parents to the township of Sebewaing where educational facili-
        ties were very limited on account of the unsettled condition of the
        country. He remained with his parents until he was 24 years of age,
        when, associated with two brothers, he engaged in the management of
        a farm in Sebewaing Township, which he operated six years.
           In 1869 he located on 80 acres of land given him by his father,
        and he has now 60 acres of cleared and improved land. In politics
        he is a Democrat and he has been Treasurer one term.
           He was married Nov. 30, 1871, in Sebewaing Township, to HELENA
        P. SCHILLING, daughter of FREDERICK and CATHERINE SCHILLING. She
        was born Sept. 28, 1850, in Scio, Washtenaw Co., Mich., and is the
        mother of two children: EDMOND H. and CLARISSA M.
