Becher passed away at his home last Thursday afternoon at four o'clock. Two months ago he went to his home from the office complaining that he was not feeling well, and from that time on he was unable to leave the house, and was out of his bed but a few times. With him when he died was his wife and children and his brother W.S. Becher of Omaha. The death of Mr. Becher removes a man prominent in democratic political circles, and one who has held both county and city offices, being treasurer of the county two terms and mayor of the city for the year 1903. Besides this he was deputy county treasurer under H.S. Elliott and also held other positions at the court house. For the last three years Mr. Becher has been the junior member of the firm of Elliott, Speice & Co., and since the organization of the Equitable Building and loan association has been secretary of that institution, and to his efforts are due the present condition of the association. Mr. Becher was a man who made friends and kept them, and was universally liked by all. He was a member of the Orpheus, which he assisted in organizing, an honorary member of the Bissell Hose company of the city fire department. He was also a member of the Knights of Pythias, Woodmen of the World, Sons of Herman Modern Woodmen, A.O.U.W., Modern Brotherhood of American and Royal Highlanders. John G. Becher was born in this city February 5, 1863, being the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. F.G. Becher, both deceased. Mr. Becher's father was the first Union Pacific agent in Columbus and later served as county clerk. On November 6, 1888, he was married to Miss Susan Wake, who with eight children, survives him. The children are Frank, Charles, Marguerite, Estella, Henry, Lester, and Catherine Becher, and Mrs. Lottie Rife. A brother, W.S. Becher, and two sisters, Mrs. Anna Richards and Estella Becher, are the other surviving relatives. The funeral was held from the family home at 2 o'clock Sunday and was conducted by Rev. Roush of the Methodist church, the music being by the choir of Grace church. The City Band, of which Mr. Becher, was a former member, headed the procession to the cemetery, where the services were conducted by Rev. Roush. The large concourse of people who attended the services, both at the home and the cemetery, was a fitting testimonial of the esteem with which he was held by all.
