ELIAS W. H. BECK, M. D.
About ine middle of the eighteenth century, four or five brothers, bearing the family name of Beck, came from Germany and settled about Harper's Ferry, Va. George Beck, born at Harper's Ferry in the last quarter of the same century, was a son of one of these brothers, and the grandfather of the subject of this biographical sketch. Jacob Beck, father of Dr. Beck, was boru in the Kishakoquillas Valley, Mifflin Co., Penn., in the month of January, 1800. On the maternal side, his (Dr. Beck's) grandmother, Peggy (Robison) Smith, was a native of Philadelphia, Penn .- the Robison family having come direct from Scotland a few years before her birth. Peggy Robison (who died in 1874, at the advanced age of ninety-five years), when eighteeu years of age, carried in winter the United States mail on horseback, from Fort Miffiln, on the Junlata River, over the mountain to a fort at Belfonte, Center County. This region, at that day, being Infested with robbers, Indians, and wild animals. Mary (Smith) Beck, mother of Dr. Beck, was born In Lewiston, Mifflin Co., Penn., in 1804. She is yet living, in La Fayette, Ind., in her seventy-eighth year, a hale and active woman.
E. W. H. Beck is, therefore, of German-Scotch descent, and was born on the 18th of January, 1822, in Lewiston, Mifflin Co., Penn. In September, 1834 his father left Lewiston and emigrated overlaud to Pickaway, Ohio, where he remained three years aud six months in the occupation of a farmer. He subsequently lived six months in Covington, in Miami County, and on the 10th of October, 1838, moved to Indiana, and locating in White County, built a hotel the following ycar in the town of Monticello, and began its operation. The subject of this sketch, during his first eighteen months in Indiana, occupled the time in farm work, hunting and dealing in skins and furs. In 1840, in his nineteenth year, he assisted in steering the first flat-boat, loaded with flour and bacon, out of Monticello, on the Tippecanoe River, and down the Wabash, Ohio aud Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans. In the absence of Miller Kentland, the superintendent, during most of the trip, he (Beck) had complete con- trol of the boat, and at that city he negotiated alone the sale of the entire cargo. Returuing home in May, after a trip to Chicago on a four-horse wagon loaded with wheat, in August, 1840, he began the study of medicine in the office of Dr. Brearly, of Monticello. In the winter of 1842-43, he attended lectures at the Ohio Medical College, Cincinnati. The succeeding fali (1843), he started to Philadelphia to attend lectures, but his supply of money failed him, he stopped at Lewiston, J'enn., and passed the winter there, reading in the office of Dr. Cul- bertson. Returning to Monticello In 1845, in May of that year, he came to Delphi, Carroll County, and, associated with Dr. Samuel Grimes, began the practice of Iris profession. At the beginning of the Mexican war, he assisted Robert Melroy and William F. Persons in raising the company that reported second to the Governor of Indiana. Unabic to go at that time, because of the absence of Dr. Grimes, four weeks later, in August, he joined the con- pany at the mouth of the Rio Grande River, and was commissioned Assistant Sergeant of the First Regiment Indiana Volunteers. Acting in that capacity uutil January 10, follow- ing, after a rigid examination of six applicauts, he was one of two chosen to act as Assist- ant Surgeons in the general hospital at Matamoras, Mex., to which position he was iminc- diately transferred. From January until October, he had charge of two wards in the hospital. While here. the first case of yellow fever that appeared In the city, was in one of his wards. Fearing that dreaded malady, and the regiment with which he had gone out having returned home some months before, early in October he resigned, and came back to Deiphi. A few weeks later, having saved sufficient money, he went East, entered the Medical University of New York, and was graduated from that institution in March, 1848, receiving the degree of M. I). May 1, 1848, he again entered upon the practice of his profession at Delphi, In full partnership with Dr. Grimes. March 4, 1850, with others, he crossed the plains with an ox-team, and after practicing medicine in California four months, returned to Deiphi in the spring of 1851, and has remained here ever since, actively engaged in his profession.
On the 23d of October, 1848, he was married to Francis M. Milroy, youngest daughter of Gen. Samuei Milroy, who, in his day, was not only one of the most prominent citizens of Carroll County, but of the State of Indiana. Five children have been born to them-Alice
J., Larrey G., Genevieve J., Frances I. and Walter M. Mrs. Beck is a woman of marked characteristics. Almost completely denied educational advantages, In the company of edu. cated men and women, she maintains herself with dignity and ease. Of finc conversationa! power, she is generally the life of the party of which she is a member. A bitter enemy of whisky and tobacco, alone or in the crusade, on the rostrum, In the drunkard's home, and even in the saloon, she has, all her lifetime, consistently and courageously fought these evils. Inheriting a splendid physique, personal daring, and great powers of endurance, when in the cause of right she hesitates at no undertaking. Possessing determinatlon, she has the cour- age to speak her convictions. At the same time, a woman of almost perfect domestic habits. she has always exhibited the deepest love for home and home ties.
On the 5th of October, 1861, Dr. Beck was commissioned a Surgeon in the Third Cavalry Regiment, Indiaua Volunteers, holding the positiou about ten months, when he was promoted to Surgeon of brigade. At the end of six months more he was in turn made Surgeon in Chief of First Division, Cavalry Corps, Army of Potomac, and placed on Gen. Buford's staff. The Corps Commander being Gen. Pleasanton, who was succeeded by Gen. Sheridan. In his three years' service, Dr. Beck took part in ten important battles : South Mountain and An - tletam, Md. ; Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville, Beverly Ford, Upperville, Second Bull Run, Wilderness, and Spottsylvania, Va .; and Gettysburg, Penn. ; in thirty-one engagements, and In thirty-six skirmishes. At Antietam, he had a horse shot under him. At the battle of Gettysburg, on the first day's fight, when the Union army was being driven out of town, having established a hospital in the Presbyterian Church on Baltimore street, he was operat- ing on wounded men, and though a half-hour before he could easily have escaped by fleeing, as a number of surgeons had done, he heroically resolved to remain with the suffering soldiers, and was made a prisoner by Lee's incomlug forces. Immediately, with two Assistant Surgeons ne begau operating on wounded rebeis-a stratagem, which, when the Provost Marshal arrived, saved them a visit to Andersonville or Libby. Laboring almost night and day on the wounded of both sides, until the morning of the 4th of July, his Imprisonment ended by Ger. Lec's evacuation of the town. Although a non-combatant, the part he played in the turning hatile of the war was of exceptional importance. His position within the enemy's lines enabled him, about midnight of the 3d of July, to suddenly discover the qulet with- drawal of rebei scutinels from their posts, the silent departure of bodies of soldiery for the rear, and the erection of barricades across the streets-evidences that Lce was beaten, was in the act of retreating, and was covering his retograde movement. Assured of these facts by a careful cxantination, he ran into a private house, picked up a white bolster-siip, and waving this before him, ran up Baltimore street toward the Union line to give notice of the enemy's action. As sharpshooters covered the street, and had orders to keep it clear, this was a dangerous task ; but he accomplished it in safety, gave his inforination to Gen. How- ard, at 3 A. M., and so enabled that officer to push forward his forces, open a brisk tire, and capture 5,000 men of Lee's rear guard. There is a memoriai to be found in the files of tho Cogressional Record at Washington, shortly after the battle, calling attention to Dr. Beck's gallantry on that occasion. In a strictly professional way, he also distinguished himself. Shortly after the general order issued by the Surgeon General not to amputate for joint wounds when resections could be made, and further ordering that resections should be mado when less than four inches of the shaft should be cut away, he made his first resectiou al shoulder-joint, and actually sawed off four and a half inches of the bone. The patient made a prompt recovery, and had a useful amn. The bone is now preserved in the Surgeon Gene- ral's cabinet ; photographs of it have been obtained by numerous medical colleges for use in class, and reference is made to the case in "The History of the Civil War."
In childhood and carly manhood. Dr. Beck was a firm believer in the orthodox, relig- lous views of the day and age. Becoming skeptical and materialistic in thought, and inde- pendent in belief, about 1854, he began the investigation of the phenomena known as spiritual, and reading everything published on the subject pro and con, he became a Art believer in the harmonical philosophy, and in spirit communion, under fixed laws and condi- tions-a belief, adhered to at presont, as theologicai, scientific and rational. Theological, because it constitutes the foundation of all religious belief, proving the immortality of the soul, the inspiration of all Scriptures, and , an eternal progress ; scientific, because the phenomena do not require faitii, but method, to analyze ; rational, because reasonable.
Dr. Beck has devoted his years exclusively to his profession. A hard student of medi- cine, of excellent judgment, and prompt and faithful at the sick bed, he obtained, and has always heid an exceptionally large and lucrative practice. His skill in surgery, acquired in two wars, lias served to bring him almost a monopoly of the surgical practice in the county. His private life, like his professional, is Irreproachable. His sense of right and honor is such that he would suffer a great wrong to hlinself rather than impose what might appear to be a small one on a fellowman. Toward his family, he Is the embodiment of generosity and affection. May joy, peace and plenty giid the pathway of his declining years.
