He was son of John and Minnie Beek of Sibley.
In 1950, the 20-year-old was deployed by the U.S. Army to defend the Chosin Reservoir, a lake in North Korea, where his unit was overrun by enemy forces in fighting during the Korean War.
Although he was named among the casualties, his remains could not be recovered until recently, leaving his parents, siblings and eventually nieces and nephews to wonder what had happened.
The Department of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency identified Eldertâs remains earlier this year, providing closure to a family that had held out hope until the end.
By NICK HYTREK | Sioux City Journal | Published: May 18, 2021 SIBLEY, Iowa (Tribune News Service) For years, Eldert Beek s parents and siblings held out hope that someday he d surprise them and return home from Korea. Declared dead by the U.S. Army after going missing on Dec. 1, 1950, when his unit was attacked by enemy forces near the Chosin Reservoir, his remains had not been recovered. Though the family had a memorial service for him and placed a grave marker for him at Evergreen Cemetery in George, Iowa, there was still hope he was alive. Before my dad died, he said if Eldy comes home, tell him I missed him and I loved him, said Cindy Brey, of Cushing, Minnesota, Beek s niece.
