John Beck
John Beck, a chapel keeper, and Hannah Beck née Fox, who married at the Norfolk Street Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Sheffield, on 5th September 1861. At the time of his marriage John Beck stated that he was a twenty-six year old bachelor, the son of the later Augustine Beck, a farmer. Augustine Beck died at Hainford, Norfolk, on 6th March 1854 aged fifty-six years, and was therefore born around 1797-98. We calculated that John Beck had been born around 1834-35. This was before the introduction of civil registration in England and Wales. The main sources for ancestry research before the beginning of civil registration are the local parish registers of baptisms, marriages and burials. There is no complete index to English parish registers and it is essential to discover which parish or parishes to search for evidence of the earlier ancestry. Norfolk Street Chapel where John and Hannah got married was built in 1780, one of the largest in the Kingdom and opened by the founder of Methodism himself, who to the end of his long laborious life loved it and its people. The Methodism in Sheffield Park records on page 124 that John became a teacher for the chapel Sunday school in 1859. In January 1912 Mr John Beck retired from the position of caretaker after 43 years service in that capacity (Page 256). An extract from the book: “At the end of 1913 there passed from the scene of his labours, in more senses than one, John Beck, a veteran who had become almost one with the church. Spared to the age of nearly four-score years, fifty-three of which were spent in connection with the Park Church and forty-three of those in the position of caretaker. In addition to his care of the fabric he endeavoured to do other Christian work, serving in connection with the Cottage, Prayer Leaders’, and Tract Societies, and as a visitor. His wife, Hannah, was a diligent worker in the church from her youth, as we have noted in various connections, pre-deceased him in 1907. The last longing of this veteran was that he might live to see the Centenary Celebrations of the School, he being one of the few who were present at the Jubilee. It was not to be, however, for God took him”. By all accounts and from information passed down by Wilfred Beck, John was quite a jovial character and was forever playing tricks on the family much to the disapproval of his son John Samuel who was very straight laced by comparison.

Born to Osa Marie Gordon and John Shields Gordon, John Beck was born as John Beck Gordon, Jr. He was brother to James Beck Gordon. Understandably, John shortened his name to John Beck and has remained private after his brother, James, killed their mother. See Drummer Faces Trial for Killing. No information can be found about John but there is plenty of information about the rest of his family, due to their notoriety.

Camille Mary Beck
Camille Mary Beck's father was Robert Maupin Beck (1918 - 1992), a clerk in 1961 at Bank of America, known as "Iceberg Slim", and her mother was Betty Mae Shew (1936 - 2009), his common law wife in the 1960s. Wikipedia reports that Robert was a former pimp who later became an author. She had half siblings James, Bellisa, and another half-sister. You can read more about Camille's mother, Betty Mae, at Iceberg Slim’s Wife, Collaborator Dies. Her father was a writer and supposedly wrote "Doom Fox", over which Camille sued her stepmother, saying that the novel is a counterfeit. Camille claimed that her sister Melody and stepmother, Diane, conspired to pass off a book written by her step-mother's brother as "the real thing." Her father had written seven earlier books. The lawsuit and a subsequent film caused an uproar and curiosity about the blended Beck family. In 2016, this post was added to the lore of Camille: Posted December 28, 2016 The inscription on her headstone is: "You were a mother, daughter, my sister and friend. Now you're a beautiful angel in Heaven we'll meet again.....""

My grandfather was a WWII Army guy. One day recently I came across an old WWII military photo in a thrift shop, and I just knew I had to see it home. It's posted here on this site (why I joined). I got to hug my grandfather (Frances 'Frank' Michael Ozelski) and tell him I loved him...I don't know that other people had that chance and if the least I can do is bring a photo home to their family members, I'll have honored my grandfathers memory. I'm sure the photo of 'my boys' will not be my last. Thanks all who serve, I cherish you, your service, your sacrifice, and am forever grateful to your families.
