From "Beck Family History" by Leroy Beck DePuy (1.456) in 1984:

BEGIN

  Our Mother, Elizabeth (Bessie) Howell, 1886-1959, became, with Ray's
death, the oldest of the children.  She was educated in the local schools
and those of Paterson, N.J. where she went to live with the John Hall family.
Upon return to Hainesburg, Mother taught in three or four country or village
school at Delaware, Dunfiled (north of Columbia along the Delaware River) and
at Walnut Valley, a few miles east of Hainesburg.  She almost certainly taught
at a location about two miles from Delaware on a road toward Hainesburg.
To the writer's knowledge, none of these schoolhouses is still standing.
Her teaching career lasted at least four years previous to marriage Sept. 1912
to Harry A. DePue.  Four males of the six children born into this family were
the only male grandchildren in the J.J. and Emma Beck family.  Moreover,
two of a total of three female granchildren likewise were children of
Elizabeth and Harry, the third being a daughter of Olla Y. Beck and Earl Oyer.
