FORMER RESIDENT
CELEBRATES 96th BIRTHDAY
(The Stonewall Argus, Sask.)
Mr. William Becker, who .rias made
his home with his son, W. 'G. Becker,
on the farm in the Grassmere .district
for the past forty years, celebrated
his 96th birthday on June 9th. Bornnear Han�lburg, Germany, he crossed
the Atlantic in a sailing vessel when
he was five years old, along with
other members of his family. He
remembers the trip quite well, and
still talks about it. The wind was
high, and it carried the vessel sever-
al hundred miles off course. For a
time the icebergs caused a great deal
of anxiety to the crew, but the ves-
sel made the voyage, and the passen-
gers landed safely in New York.
The family located on a forty -acre
plot of bush land near Shakespeare,
Ont., and three years later moved to
Huron County, on the Iake shore,
near Goderich. His father and bro-
thers went to work on the heavy
timber and cleared 50 acres. Later,
another 100 acres were purchased,
this was the old Baker homestead on
the Town Line, Stanley Township,
where a nephew, Robert Baker now
resides.
All the hay was cut with a scythe,
and the grain with a cradle. Mr.
Becker became an expert at making
cradles, and knew how to use them.
When he was 14 years old he started
threshing with a horse power outfit.
He bought the first steam engine to
come to Huron County and ran the
outfit for 85 years, threshing grain
for three or four months each fall
and then clover and timothy for the
biggest part of the winter.
At the age of 18 he won the chop-
ping championship in the State of
Michigan for cutting and topping
more logs than had ever been done
before by a single man.
In 1907 he homesteaded at Aner-
oid, Sask. Mrs. Becker, formerly Sus-
anna McKinley, passed away about
11 years ago. There are two nnemibers
in the family: W. G. Becker, Stone-
wall, Sask., and Mrs. J. J. oyes, of
Goderich, Ont; three grandchildren
and three great grandchildren. He
received many hearty greeting on his
birthday.
