The funeral was held on Wednesday, December 24th, in St. John's Lutheran church, where a large congregation gathered to pay their last tribute of esteem to the departed.
In the absence of the pastor, Rev. Pahl of Downers Grove, officiated, taking for his text, Isaiah 40-1-8.
Mr. Becker was a member of the Masonic fraternity and also of the Modern Woodmen of America, both societies turning out in large numbers at the funeral. Services at the grave were conducted by the members of the Masonic order.
In the world where there is no sorrow, he is at rest.
The family extend their heartfelt thanks to the several fraternal societies who assisted, to Rev. Randell who offered the prayer at the grave, for the many beautiful floral pieces given, also to the kind neighbors and friends whose sympathy was shown in our deep affliction.
