Becher, and for many years a resident of this city, died last Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock at her home in Omaha. Dissolution was the result of an illness with stomach trouble which had imparied her health for many years. Her recent serious illness lasted seven weeks, and for the past fortnight she has been entirely helpless, requiring constant attention. The end came not unexpected. At the home in Omaha funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon by Rev. T.J. Mackay, of the All Saints' church, and the body was then brought here for burial. Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock funeral services were held at the home of her son, in this city, Father Pattee, of the Episcopal church at Cedar Rapids, being in charge. The remains were laid at rest in the family lot in Columbus cemetery. The maiden name of Mrs. Becher was Mary E. Rickly. She was a daughter of John Rickly, one of the founders of Columbus. She was born October 12, 1840, at Columbus, Ohio. Her father came here with the first settlers of the community, and in 1857 moved his family here, from which time until fifteen years ago, when she moved to Omaha, Mrs. Becher resided in this city. Her marriage to Mr. Francis G. Becher occurred in Columbus in 1860. Mr. Becher was the first local operator of the Western Union telegraph company. Later he became a prominent leader in demorcratic political circles, holding several public offices, and at the time of his death in 1876 was serving as county clerk in Platte county. Mrs. Becher was the mother of seven children, three of whom are buried. Those surviving are John G. Becher, of this city, William S., and Misses Anna J. and Estella M. Becher, of Omaha.
