Becher County Clerk, had dropped dead in his yard about 7 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Becher had just got out of bed and walked into the yard, and was out ten minutes, when his wife went to the door and saw him lying on his back and on going to him found him in a dying condition. Drs. Bonesteel and Hoehen were quickly sent for but life was entirely gone before they had time to get there. His very sad and sudden death was not only a most serious blow to his wife and children, but the entire community feel keenly the loss of one whose long residence in their midst had endeared him to them as a citizen, a neighbor, and as a noble, generous hearted man. His affable and accommodating manner to all, in his official relations as clerk of this county, and especially the pensioned soldiers to whom he saved each year $2,000 in the way of gratuitous services. Mr. Becher was one of the earliest settlers in Platte county, contributing liberally to enterprise for the development of the town and county, a prominent business man, and had held nearly every important official position in the county. He had had the heart disease for 18 years, and while his death was a great shock to the people of this community, in whose esteem he stood so high, still his death was not a surprise to many who knew the danger of him dropping off at any time. He leaves behind an affectionate wife and four lovely and interesting children to mourn his loss. The funeral will take place to-morrow at 1 o'clock, at his late residence, after which his remains will be removed to the cemetery and deposited with Masonic, Odd Fellowship and Knights of Pythias honors, of which orders he was a member.
