JACOB BECKER IS VICTIM OF DEATH
Pioneer Resident Dies at Home of Daughter; Funeral Wednesday
Jacob Becker, 71, died on Sunday evening at 10:45 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mike Wyszinski, 1417 Twenty-first street. The cause of his death was dropsy and pneumonia.
Mr. Becker was born in Germany, March 17, 1857, and when he was only six months of age, his family migrated to this country and settled in Sheboygan where they lived for a short time. They then moved to this city and lived here for some time before they settled on a farm on the Rangeline road where Mr. Becker lived until he was married in 1875 to Miss Amelia Schwab who preceded him in death fifteen years ago.
The couple came to this city where they lived on Washington Street. Mr. Becker was employed at the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing company as engineer until fifteen years ago when he retired. At the death of his wife, he established himself at the Waverly Hotel until three months ago when he came to live with his daughter, Mrs. Wyszinski.
He leaves to mourn his death four children who are Robert of Milwaukee, Oscar of Manitowoc, Walter and Mrs. Mike Wyszinski, both of this city. He also leaves twelve grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home of his daughter at 1417 Twenty-first street with the Rev. T. A. Hawkes officiating. Interment will take place at Pioneer's Rest cemetery.
