Narrative

[Obituary for George L. Beckley, posted to the FindaGrave.com website by Becky Jacobs.]

George L. Beckley, 63 of Longberry Road, died Tuesday Nov. 22 at his residence. He had been in failing health for five months. The Jackson Township Trustee was a veteran of the Korean Conflict. He worked in the Richwood area as a general contractor following his retirement from Armen in Marion.

The son of the late George H. and Bertha Black Beckley was born October 3, 1931 in Marion. June 25, 1981, he married the former Judith Pfeiffer, who survives.

Also surviving are two sons: Rick of near Richwood and Randel of Raymond; a daughter Ronda Snyder of Prospect; 9 grandchildren; four brothers, William of LaRue, Kenneth of Delaware, Earl of Palm Beach Gardens, Fl., and John of Richwood; and a sister, Lena Murray of Kenton. Two sisters preceded him in death.

Funeral services were held Saturday, Nov. 26 at the Essex United Methodist Church. Burial was at Price Cemetery with Rev. Bernard Kenney officiating. Stolcheck Funeral House was in charge of arrangements.

Narrative

George's obituary mentions three surviving children (sons Rick and Randel, daughter Ronda Snyder) and his widow, the former Judith Pfeiffer. The same obituary mentions they married in 1981, while the public records I can find for his three children indicate birthdates from the fifties and sixties, suggesting they are not the children of Judith. I've not yet found any record or mention of their mother's name, and so have not added them to the tree at this time.

ADDENDUM: After being contacted by his daughter Ronda, I searched a bit more thoroughly and found his earlier marriage record to to his first wife, allowing me to construct the family record for the two of them and their three children. That record also gave me his middle name, Leroy.
