RANDOLPH TOWNSHIP
    HENRY BECKER, miller; P. O., Union.  Mr. Becker is a native of Ohio; born 
in Montgomery County, May 13, 1816; is a son of John and Rebecca Becker.  The 
father emigrated to this State with his parents in June, 1815, being a native 
of Lancaster Co., Pa.  The grandfather of our subject was a miller by 
occupation, and erected one of the early saw mills on West Branch.  John 
Becker was also a miller, and continued the business of his father, which has 
been handed down to him whose sketch we pen.  The mother's maiden name was 
Hart; she died in November, 1856.  The father served in the township as 
Trustee for a number of years, and died in December, 1857.  Our subject is 
one of five children, four of whom are now living, viz.: Annie, Rebecca, 
David and Henry.  The latter was united in marriage with Sarah Shilt, in 
1840, and to them were born six children, and of them Thomas, John, Isaac and 
Catherine are now living.
