Mrs. Becker, nee Minnie Tetzloff, was born in Germany, in a small village near the Polish frontier, on Jan. 23, 1870, and received her education there. She came to this country shortly before her 20th birthday.

On Feb. 7, 1892, she married Fred Becker in Milwaukee, where Mr. Becker worked as a bricklayer for three years. They moved then to a farm near Rib Lake, and lived there nine months before moving to Clark County, where they had resided since. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on Feb. 7, 1942.

Surviving besides her husband are two sons, Paul, Vesper; Otto, Town of Beaver; two daughters, Mrs. Albert (Elsie) Schuh, Colby; and Mrs. Roy (Mayme) Thompson, Minneapolis, and eight grandchildren.
