AT the funeral of Frances Mae Beck Gillings on 28 Sept 1992, I learned from her daughter Gail Crawford that Selma Hultgren Beck had had a first-born child that survived only 3 days. Jeannette E. Tripp Beck, also at the funeral, recalled hearing Selma refer to a first-born child that did not survive. Gail Crawford is at this time continuing to research her files to find more definitive data about the child. She says she has a picture - handed down in the possessions of her mother - of the deceased child. The Warling Family Geneology, pg. 156, lists Hulda Dorothy Beck. It is most probable that she is buried in St. James, Watonwan, Minnesota. Numbers on bottom of family file card:
Frances was living with her daughter Gail and her husband Fred Crawford at 959 Abe Way, Monterey Park, CA until about 18 or 19 September when she entered a hospital in Monterey Park. She died at about 5 p.m. on the 23rd at the hospital. Her wishes were that her body be cremated and her ashes spread at sea. The cremation was scheduled for 29 September 1992, after her funeral service was held on the 28th at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 2009 S. Garfield Ave., Monterey Park, CA. Nephew Stanley P. Beck was in attendance at the funeral and received the above information about Frances' death and cremation from her daughter Gail and son Earl. The disposition of her ashes at sea awaits the action of a company that specializes in such matters. Earl said that after the deed was accomplished, the family - or he - would get a postcard naming the date and place of the spreading of Frances' ashes. The Warling Family Geneology, pg. 157.
