Keokuk is again called upon to
mourn the death OF one of her old
and much esteemed citizens. Charles
Louis Becker died at about S o'clock
this morning from an illness, brought
on by serious stroke of paralysis he
suffered several months ago, from
which he partially recovered but was
never relieved so as to resume his
former yigilant and valuable activi-
ties
Mr., Becker was born Feb II, 1896

Prussia He was educated in the pub.
lie schools of Germany. At the age of
seventeen he came to Schenectady, N.

NAMED until 1856, when he came west
and settled in Keokuk.
Here, he was clerk in the old and
prominent hardware store of Cady.

whom the firm soon gave charge OF

this store Mr.. Becker soon bought for
himself.

During the war he was engaged In
the hardware business in Alexandria
and while sympathizing with the
south, like many another citizen OF
the border slave states, his attitude
was that OF neutral However, his
place OF business and his own apart
ment were pinndered by some OF the
most bitter and vindictiye of the fed
era soldiers, his razor being a part
Of their booty. After that he wore a
full beard always, one of his jokes be-
ing that he could not shave because
during the war his razor was stolen.
In 1880 his residence and his hard
