HAROLD BECK
Funeral
services for Harold Beck, age
86, of Lenox were held Sunday, October 15, 2000 at 2:00 p.m. at the United
Presbyterian Church in Lenox with Pastor Tim Maxa officiating. Interment was
held in the West Fairview Cemetery. Memorials can be given in his name.
Services were conducted by the Ritchie Funeral Home of Lenox.
Harold
Byron Beck was born December 25,
1914 in the rural Lenox area, the son of J. [ohn] George Beck and Ida E.
Wiand Beck. Harold attended rural schools and on February 7,1937 he
was united in marriage to E. [velyn] Delores Douglas on her parent's farm in Cromwell.
Harold was a life long area resident,
moving from his birthplace southwest of Lenox to the George Wurster farm east
of town in 1921. After school, Harold started farming with his father, gradually taking on more
responsibility as his father's health declined. After his marriage to Deloris, the couple moved to a farm southwest of Lenox
for a few years, and then moving a short distance to the current home place.
Harold enjoyed the outdoors and had a
great love for farming. He was a caretaker of the land, and along with the help
of his father and grandfather, dug by hand, one of the first tile lines in the
area. In the tradition of the family, he was also a strong proponent of crop
rotation. In Harold's fields, weeds were not welcome. For many years, Harold farmed the ground with Belgian
horses, and always had a good dog to keep him company. He could tell you the
name of every horse, dog or animal, as well as any car or piece of machinery he
ever owned. He was born into the congregation of the United Presbyterian
Church, having been a member for over fifty years. He had been active in
various neighborhood card clubs. Although often quiet, Harold enjoyed being around people, and had a special
spot for his family, especially his grandchildren.
Harold is survived by his daughter, Elaine [Evelyn]
Grantham and husband Dwight of Atlantic; a sister, Velda Putnam of Creston; a half-sister, Wilma Matthews of Delavan, Wisconsin; two grandchildren, Becky Mortenson and husband, Daniel of Madison, South Dakota; and Brian Grantham of Kansas City, Missouri; and two great-great
grandchildren, Grant Mortenson and Autumn Mortenson.
Preceding

Phyllis
May Thompson was born May 10,
1919, near Hopkins, Nodaway County, Missouri and died February 8, 2010 at Mercy
Hospital, Corning, Iowa. She was the second daughter of Walter
Ray Thompson and Kate M.
Patton and the last surviving
member of her family.
When Phyllis was only a few years old, the family moved to
Taylor County, Iowa, to live with her grandmother Patton on the old family
homestead. She was a
resident of Taylor County for nearly 90 years.
After graduating from
Bedford High School in 1936, she taught in the rural schools of Taylor county
for several years before marrying Doyle Richard Henry January 12, 1941 at Maryville, Nodaway County,
Missouri.
Immediately after their
marriage, they moved to the family farm in Jackson Township, about 9 miles
southeast of Bedford, where her husband, Doyle, grew up. They spent their entire married life on this farm, farming,
and raising a family of five children.
They are: Julia Marie
(Johnson), Phillip David, Sharon Kay (Wiseman), Clifford Allen and Kenneth Eugene, four of whom survive. There are also two grandchildren, Robert Doyle
Henry and Stephanie Kvanvig and four great grandchildren, Victoria Henry,
Alexa Henry, Seth Kvanvig, and Sawyer
Kvanvig.
Phyllis was predeceased by her husband,
who died July 29, 1995, one son, Kenneth Eugene, who died June 19, 1995, her sisters, Ferne
Lucille in 1917, Ellen Jean
Mullen in 1997, and one great
granddaughter, Kerri Ann.
Phyllis was a talented painter and an enthusiastic and
able gardener who could make anything grow for her. Like many farmwomen she found expression for her
love of beauty in her love of flowers, particularly roses, which were her
favorite flower. Red was her
favorite color, so she was especially fond of red roses. She enjoyed traveling, often visiting
her daughter in California and her son in South Dakota while her health
permitted. She also enjoyed
the various clubs and social activities of her church. As she once expressed it, she had
no small talk or chitchat but she liked being around people and listening to
them.
Phyllis was a wonderful baker and cook. The family will never
forget the wonderful scent of the fresh loaves of bread and the rolls that
practically melted in one’s mouth, nor the wonderful cakes and pies she baked.
She shouldered more than
her share of the work, both indoors and out, that were the normal burden of farm
wives of the time as well as caring for a large family that always seemed to
have some childhood ailment or other.
After
the death of her husband, Phyllis sold the family farm and moved to Bedford where she could be closer to her
daughter, Sharon, and
son-in-law, Larry Wiseman,
whose daily company and loving attention she enjoyed and treasured.
