Johann Martin Becker was born on March 24, 1829 at 3:00pm to Elisabeth Lein, the unmarried daughter of Johannes and Anna Maria Lein (pronounced "Line") of the Parish of Bleidenrod. The midwife, Catharine Kleinin (feminine form of surname Klein) identified Heinrich Becker as the father. Heinrich Becker from Nieder-Gemünden, admitted he was the father and declared the claim to be correct. Heinrich is the son of Johann Georg Becker, also from Nieder-Gemünden. The baptism took place on March 29, 1829 and was witnessed by Johann Martin Lein, brother of Elizabeth, and also of Bleidenrod. The baptism record was signed by Heinrich Becker, as father and Johann Martin Lein. Midwife Catharina Kleinin signed the baptism record by marking three crosses.

OBITUARY FOR LATE ELIZABETH WURM-------90 YEARS OF AGE

It is our painful duty this week to chronicle the death of the wife of Mr. Henry Wurm Sr., one of the oldest inhabitants of this village. The deceased was one of the earliest settlers in this area having settled here about 35 years ago. Of late years she has been afflicted with a cancer which caused her death last Saturday at the ripe old age of ninety years. The funeral took place last Tuesday morning and proceeded to the Lutheran Cemetery where the body was interred.

Mr. Daniel Wurm and son of Matthias attended.
