Biographical Sketch

JOHN P. BECKER, born in Lansing, Iowa, September 21, 1867, the subject of this sketch is an influential and enterprising citizen of Bee Branch Township, now located at [Wien], and is the son of John P. and Francis (Mahrer) Becker. The father a native of Germany and the mother a native of Switzerland, who met and married in Iowa, and were the parents of three children two boys and a girl, the latter of whom is a twin sister to our subject, and is married to a Mr. Klos, of Indiana.

Our subject was reared at Lansing where he followed mercantile pursuits for twelve years when he came to Chariton County and entered the mercantile business at New Cambria for some time, when he came to Salisbury and remained till 1886, when he removed to [Wien] where he was elected collector of Bee Branch Township for seven years and has also been actively engaged in the mercantile business at that place.

Our subject was married to Miss [Catherine] Recker, of Quincy, Ill., and her parents are natives of Germany. Their married life has been short up to this time but has been a pleasant one owing to the fact that Mr. Becker's wife is a lady of culture and refinement and capable of making him a wife to make a home happy in every respect. Politically our subject is a democrat, and is a commissioned Notary Public. He is a member of St. Mary's Catholic church.
