Mr, Becker was born in Germany
seventy-three yeara ago, and came to
this country in early life, living for a
time in Pennsylvania and in 1880 earn¬
ing to Ohio, where he located first at Oak
Harbor and then later at Sandusky.
Mr. and Mrs.. Becker lost their home
in the tornado that swept this section
last June and Mi. Becker's death was
probably hastened by the anxiety and
strain of trying to reestablish a home.
For three months he had been in poor
health and was taken a few weeks ago
to the home of his daughter in Cleve¬
land for care and treatment. He is
survived by his wife and eight children
and seven grandchildren. Two of his
daughters are well known here, Mrs.
K.A.BarnhoUandMrs.M.J. Barnholt.
The two other daughters are Mrs. Anna
Baibach, of Cleveland, and Mrs. Carrie
Wagner, of Sandusky. Of the four
sons, Frank bves in Port Clinton, and
Albert, George and LeRoy live in San¬
dusky, Mr. Becker was well and
favorably known by a large circle of
friends who deeply mourn his death.
