I am looking for info on my g-g-grandfather Joseph BECK who may have migrated to Reynolds Co shortly before the Civil War from Illinois.

He was injured in the War, and lost a leg, which was sent back and buried in Polk Cemetery (therefore he has two headstones there - one for 1860, and one for the rest of him in the 1930s). He wore a pegleg and operated the store even after the post office was moved. Among his children are my g- grandfather Thomas BECK, who married Rosa MULLINS on 10-20-1887 according to county records previously posted on the web. Other children were boys Jerry BECK and John BECK, Belle BECK-SATTERFIELD, Annie BECK-HILL, and May (?) BECK.
