Heye Becker was born in Germany Feb. 2, 1822, and came to America in 1858, settling in Alton, Illinois, where he married Miss Myers and to whom three children were born. His first wife died and after a few years he married Miss Margretta Gayette who with six children survive him. Mr. Becker was at one time a successful local preacher and was an intimate friend of the famous preacher, Peter Castwright (sic--Cartwright). In 1883 he moved from his farm in Illinois to Plymouth county and settled on his farm in Elgin township, where he has lived till about two years ago when on account of the increasing infirmities of old age he rented the farm and moved into town. Mr. Becker is survived by his widow and nine children, Henry and Bertha of Sioux City, Will, John and Mrs. Anna Buse of LeMars, Mrs. Minnie Hillebrand of Webster, S. D., Frank, Emma and Otto of Seney. Mr. Becker had lived out his allotted time of three score and ten and was ready and anxious to go. He was a man who was held in high esteem by his friends and loved for his kindly genial disposition and his death is sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends and neighbors. There was a short service at the home Monday conducted by Revs. Rhienfrank and Skaggs from thence to the German M. E. church in LeMars of which the deceased was a consistent member and the remains were interred in the city cemetery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suggested edit: 1st Marriage: Adite Meyer Contributor: KIN-TUCKEE (48106830)
