The log cabin pictured with this column stood for generations in the Wright’s Corner neighborhood, sheltering the Beck family from wind and rain.
It has seen the birthing of babies and been at center stage as the old folks died and their funerals were held from the front room.
This particular log house was built by Miles R. Beck in about 1875. Beck, who was born on March 22, 1846, in Fayette County, was the son of Joseph and Lydia Bankson Beck.
