Jacob Becker, a prominent farmer who made his home on his ranch nine miles west of Rtizville, died in the Sacred Heart hospital, Spokane, early Friday morning. He had gone up there for treatment a few weeks before, having been ill since last September with dropsy or kidney trouble. None of his family was with him when the end came so the news of his death was a great shock to them. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the Zion church, condcted by Rev. F. Eggerland. The remains were laid to rest in the Ritzville cemetery.
Jacob Becker was born January 22, 1873 Brunnethal, North Russia. In 1886 he came with his parent to America. They spent on year in Kansas and then came to Adams county. In May of 1892, Mr. Becker married Barbara Deer, who survives him. Eight children and six grandchildren are also left to mourn his departure from the life. The children are: Mrs. Mariz Helzer of Portland, Oregon, Mrs. Dora Maier, Ida, Lydia, Ruby, Sam, Reuben, and Norman of Ritzville. His aged father Henry Becker is still living and there are four brothers and one sisters; John and Alexander of Toppenish, WA.; George of Ellensburg and Henry Jr. of Lauer and Mrs. Melcher who resides about 18 miles west of Ritzville.
