John Becker was born in 1813, and in a comfortable home grew to manhood. Reared to a life of strong activity, upon reaching manhood he was well prepared to shoulder the responsibilities of life, and deciding to follow agriculture, he settled upon the old homestead a Millcreek township. This he improved, cultivated extensively, and made into one of the most attractive pieces or property in the vicinity. Wise management brought in good money returns for his labor, and he prospered from the start. He spent the strength of the greater part of his manhood on this farm, and near here in 1884 he died. About 1833 he married Caroline Stump, daughter of Leonard Stump, one of the old families of Millcreek township, and of this union there were nine children.
