Eugene M. Becker, son of Mrs. Christian Becker, died on Christmas Day, 
and his funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon, December 28, 1932, 
from the farm home of the Beckers to St. Paul’s cemetery where Rev. E.J.

He was a member of Columbia Camp No. 2034, Modern Woodmen of 
America, and members of that society assisted in the burial ceremonies.  
The deceased was born near Columbia on July 26, 1901 and had reached 
the age of 31 years, 4 months and 29 days.  His father, Christian Becker, 
died about a month ago.  He is survived by his mother, Misses Alma and 
Ester Becker at home; a brother Walter of Oakland, Calif.; Mrs. Amanda 
Mosbacher, Mrs. Tillie Mueller, and Mrs. Frieda Stemmler, all of Columbia.  
The deceased had been suffering with diabetes for several years, and was

friends in their double bereavement.
