Ionia Sentinel Standard, 24 & 26 Dec 1935

John Beck, 71, 643 North Jefferson street, former Stafford and Hayes-Ionia
factory cabinet maker, was dead today after but slightly more than a day’s
illness.  Mr. Beck died suddenly at his home Tuesday noon after he had
contracted pneumonia which developed from a severe cold which he caught less
than two days ago.  He died so suddenly that one of his daughters who lives in
Chicago reached the bedside of her father an hour after his death.

Mr. Beck had been a resident of Ionia for about 24 years and had been employed
at the Stafford factory for 15 years and at the Hayes-Ionia Body plant for two
years.  Until a few days ago he had been unemployed since the closing of the
Hayes plant.  He succeeded in securing a position as pipefitter at the
Stafford-Johnson recently.

Born in Germany in 1859 Mr. Beck came first to Cleveland, O., and later moved to
Chicago where he met and married Miss Barbara Hass, of Chicago, in 1911.  They
then moved to Ionia and have since lived here.  While a resident of Germany, Mr.
Beck was a soldier in the German army for three years.

Mr. Beck was affiliated with the St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran church of Ionia,
in which he had been an active worker.  

Surviving are the widow and three children, Mrs. Peter Schleich, of Chicago, and
Anna and Elizabeth, also of Chicago, one grandson, and three brothers, Philip,
of New York city, Fred, living in Germany, and Chris, of Ionia.

Funeral arrangements had not been made.

------------

Prayer services for John Beck, who died Tuesday, December 24, at his home, 643
North Jefferson street, will be held Friday afternoon at 1:30 at the home, and
funeral services at the St. John’s Lutheran church at 2 o’clock, and interment
at Highland Park cemetery.
