JOHN H. BECKER A Large Concourse of Sympathetic Neighbors and Friends Assembled. Yesterday afternoon the funeral services of the late Mrs. John H. BECKER were held at the home on west Pearl street and they were attended by a very large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends to pay their tribute to the memory of this noble lady who had been taken so suddenly from their midst and the large number in attendance spoke eloquently of the deep feeling of grief at the loss they had sustained in her death. The old neighbors from the community where the Becker family had lived for so many years were present to bid farewell to the one they had known and loved for so many years and who had endeared herself to them by the many acts of kindness and care. The services were conducted by Rev. C.E. PERLEE, pastor of the Christian church, who spoke eloquently of the life of the departed, of her many acts of kindness that had endeared her to all who had known her and of her beautiful and faithful Christian life, and to the family it brought a sense of comfort as the anticipated the time when once more they might meet with the wife and mother in the better land where there would be no more severing of ties of love or bitter partings. During the services at the house Mrs. E.H. WESTCOTT and Miss Hazel TUEY gave three very pleasing numbers, “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” “Asleep is Jesus,” and “In the Sweet By and By,” each with their message of comfort and hope to those who had been bereaft [sic] by death. The house as well as the lawn was filled with those who mourned with the family and the wealth of floral beauty placed on the casket spoke of the feeling of great esteem in which Mrs. Becker had been held in the entire community. Among those attending from out of the city were: Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. MILLER, Archie MILLER, Lyle MILLER, Lehy MILLER, Mr. and Mrs. John WOODS, Mr. and Mrs. Sam HARDNOCK, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse HARDNOCK, all of Alvo; Mr. and Mrs. Will BECKER, Mr. and Mrs. George BECK, of Mason City, Illinois; Mrs Alice WEINHEIMER, of Pekin, Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. Albert WALLINGER of Elmwood; Mr. and Mrs. George WALLINGER, South Bend; Mr. and Mrs. Ed. BAUMGART, Lamar, Nebraska AND Miss Emma TRESHAM of Seattle, Wash.; Frank GUSTIN and wife of Elmwood.
