Becker Family Cemetery

Becker Community

Becker House

History: The Becker land has been occupied by the Becker family for six generations. The first burial in the Cemetery was the wife of E. W. Becker, Mary Magaline Becker, also a German emigrant, who died in 1872.

Condition: Good - well cared for and in a lovely setting, shaded by ancient oaks and near a pond. It is completely fenced. Most of the old tombstones are in good condition.
