ELTERN Vater Heinrich Friedrich /Becker/ Mutter Anna Elsabe /Wulf/ EHESCHLIESSUNGEN (1) Ehepartner Mary Alta /McDonald/ Eheschließung 28 Februar 1915 Zion Lutheran Church; Albion, NE. 1 s1 QUELLEN (1) Janice Becker Cook ANMERKUNGEN (2) Wilhelm was the oldest son of Henry and Catherine Becker. Bill attended Boone County, NE. School District #77 during the winter months. He was one of the first students of the school because it was newly built during his first year. Following his formal education, he farmed with his father. He also owned and operated a custom steam threshing business. Being very mechanically minded, he was always curious about how something worked. He constantly tried to find a way to improve or repair a machine. Bill was a very good cook and baked the best bread that anyone could ever hope to eat! He was always in very good spirits but became very deaf, probably from the roar of steam engine whistles and high-powered tractors. A visitor had only to write a note asking about something about a mechanical nature or how something used to be done and then sit back and listen and enjoy Bill's reminiscing. His favorite gifts were cans of nuts- at the age of 99 years, Bill still had all of his teeth! He was especially excited when his son, Art, took him for a ride in Art's helicopter as a 90th birthday present. He remarked, "I got too old, too soon!" Bill would have had a ball with all of today's new inventions. He would surely say,"Ya, and vy didn't I tink of dat!?" He spoke German fluently. Bill and Alta first farmed eleven miles west of Albion, NE. on a farm his Father had purchased. After living there for two years, in 1919, they moved to another farm, owned by his Father, northeast of Albion, and this would be their home for the next forty-three years. It was a move of more than twenty miles by horse and wagon, so the family spent the first night of the journey in the hotel in Albion. Their daughter, Ruth, was only a few months old and while at the hotel she was exposed to whooping cough by someone who was also staying at the hotel. Constant care and careful nursing saved her life. Dewey Miller agreed to move their cattle. Alone on his saddle horse, he herded the cattle twenty miles for $20. They became active members of Immanuel Zion Lutheran Church of rural Albion.
