On the 18th of October 1866, Mr. Beck was united in marriage to Annetta Watson, who was a successful and popular teacher before her marriage. She was born in Delaware County, Ohio, August 24, 1846, a daughter of Cyrus C. Watson, also a native of Delaware County and a son of William Watson, who claimed Connecticut as the commonwealth of his nativity, and the family was originally from England. In Morrow County, Ohio, Cyrus Watson married Sally Poorman, who was born in Pennsylvania and was a member of a Pennsylvania German family. In 1854 they established their home on a farm in Center township, near Inwood, and afterwards at Bourbon, where the wife and mother died in 1897, and Mr. Watson died at the home of Mrs. Beck when eighty-five years of age. During the Civil war he served as a soldier in Company B, One Hundred and Fifty-filth Regiment. In their family were three daughters: Sarah Frances Stockman, of Texas; Mrs. Elnora Jackson, of Talequah, Indian Territory, and Mrs. Annetta Beck. The only son, Martin Watson, died in Wisconsin. Mr. Watson, the father, was a stanch Republican in his political affiliations, and both he and his wife were members of the United Brethren church. Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Beck, namely: Melvin, who resides on the old home- stead farm and is one of the best known business men of the community; Mary Kesler, who resides in Texas; Sarah E., the, wife of H. H. Herald, a harness maker and postmaster of Patricksburg, Indiana; Chloe A. Wood, of Tippecanoe township; and Celena, who married Ora E. Reed and resides in Center township. The political affiliations of Mr. Beck were with the Republican Party, and he held membership relations with the United Brethren church. He was loved and honored for his many noble traits of character, and in his death, which occurred on the 25th of September, 1901, Marshall county lost one of its prominent business men, one who had been long identified with its agricultural interests. Mrs. Beck is also a member of the United Brethren church.

Jeff Am wondering if you can find out any information on the maternal grandfather Martin Watson. We know he married a Marth A. Martin. 6-18-1866in Marshall Cty,Ind. Lived in trhe Maple Grove township. Legion post in Barron is named after him. Served in the Civil War. But now the info we need to find out is if he was adopted by Cyrus Watson. Family rumor says he was a Mcclure but just where from ? have run into blank wall there too.Cyrus came from Delaware,Ohio. All of Martin War information does not say a thing about being adopted. They also came from Marshall Cty,Ind. Have researched in Ohio and they said that far back they didn't have adoption records. Martin Was born in 1840-41one service record says indiana , the other phio. Could find no birth cert there.Any ideas wher to find out if he was adopted.? Geri

Hi, Geri...

I was up at the courthouse today and found a few things for you. I don't know what to tell you about your question where Martin was adopted. It may be a true 'dead end'...something you'll never be able to fully resolve. I doubt an obit would even help given the day in which he lived.

I don't know if you had this stuff, but here's two things I found:

* Martin Watson (death record)
Age: 42 yrs old
Occupation: Farmer
Place of Birth: Ohio
Wife: Martha Ann Watson
DOD: July 7, 1883
Cause: Typhoid fever; pneumonia
Died in Maple Grove Township
Buried in Wayside Cemetery (Barron)
* At the time of his death it has his residence as Chetek.

* Mardia Ann Watson (death record)
Residence: Town of Maple Grove
Age: 76 yrs, 1 mo, 11 days
Birthplace: Ohio
Father: Isaac Martin (born in Ohio)
Mother: not known (born in Ohio)
DOD: April 25, 1922
Buried at Wayside Cemetery (Barron)
Informant: Wm. Barton (Barron Route 3)
