Information
InfoField
(added by the uploader) Major Joseph Beck, is of Irish birth, having been born in the Green Isle. When three years old, the family sailed for Canada, and settled in Picton, Ontario. In 1863, the subject of this sketch, moved to Saltford, then known as Maitlandville, and engaged in the tannery business, an occupation he still follows. During the Fenian troubles, Mr. Beck joined the volunteers, and spent four months in active service. He belongs to the 23rd Battalion, having been appointed lieutenant in 1868, captain and quarter-master in 1884, and was gazetted to field officer's work ten years latter. Taking great interest in his township, Colborne, he was elected to represent it as councillor in 1881, and five years afterwards as its reeve. In 1891 he was warden of Huron County, and at the end of his term of office, retired from municipal politics. In 1887 Major Beck was elected president of the West Huron Conservative Association, and has been re-elected each year since. At a recent Conservative convention, he was unanimously nominated to contest the west riding, at the next election to the provincial parliament. The Major, who is a leading member of the A.F. and A.M., Oddfellows, L.O. Society, A.O.U.W., CO. OF. and Royal Arcanum, married in 1894, Margaret E , second daughter of John Keineghan, Esq., J. P., of Ben Miller. From:A Souvenir from Goderich, Ontario, 1897 : the healthiest and prettiest town in Canada.
