Rock Springs Rocket, Feb 5, 1926
DIED SUDDENLLY IN Utah CITY
John Becker, Mining Engineer, Answered Last Call
John Becker of this city died last Sunday afternoon in Salt Lake City where he had been confined for several days. Death was due directly to lobar pneumonia with an operation performed several days prior, as a contributing cause.
Mr. Becker, together with his wife and two daughters, have resided in Rock Springs for the past three years, where he was a mining engineer for the Union Pacific Coal company. For the past several months he had been in failing health. He was accompanied to Salt Lake City by his wife who had returned to Rock Springs when it was considered that his condition was improving. Mrs. Becker was again en route to Salt Lake City at the time of his death. He was born in Iowa 43 years ago.
Funeral services were held from the South Side Roman Catholic Church Tuesday morning, attended by a large number of friends. Members of the local chapter, Knights of Columbus, of which he was an active member, attended.
The body was shipped from the Rogan Mortuary on Tuesday evening to Denver, the former home of Mrs. Becker. The wife and two daughters were accompanied from here by Miss Jessie McDiarmid who represented the Union Pacific Coal company at the services held yesterday.
News of the death of Mr. Becker spread a pall of gloom over this community, where the Beckers, during their comparatively short residence here, have made a host of friends.
Mr. Becker held a responsible position with the U.P. Coal company, in whose ranks he was regarded as a capable and efficient mining engineer.
The sympathy of the community is extended to those who survive him.
