C. C. Becker, McIntosh County, North Dakota Christian Becker was born in Beresina, South Russia, in 1859. He married Carolina Schlenker in Russia in 1881.

In 1931 the Beckers observed their golden wedding anniversary. They have eight children, Otilla Weber, Emma Heinrich, Lydia Johnstone, Annetta Johnstone, Hulda Maier, Viola Schmidt, Otto and Enoch Becker of Los Angeles, California. Mr. and Mrs. Becker are still living in Ashley at this time.
