DIED - At his home in Benton township, seven and one-half miles southeast of Chariton, Monday, October 23, at 11 p.m., Jacob Becker, aged sixty-nine years. Heart failure is assigned as the cause of death.

Mr. Becker was an old and repected citizen of Lucas county, having resided here for twenty-two years. He leaves a wife and six children, two daughters and four sons, all grown.
Two of the sons reside in Dakota and have been telegraphed but at his writing it is not known whether they will come to the funeral or not. The time of the funeral is fixed for today, when the remains will be laid away in Salem cemetery.
