THE PERHAM BULLETIN

Perham, Otter Tail County, Minnesota

Thursday, October 15, 1903

        We are in receipt of a copy of the Trout Lake (BC) Topic, of September 21, and clip from it the following particulars of the death of Mrs. A. J. Becker, formerly Mrs. L. Schroeder, of this place, a short mention of which was made in this paper last week.

        The death of Mrs. Becker, which was totally unexpected has cast a gloom over the community. Speaking to Mr. Becker, he said: �In the morning when I left the camp for the mine my wife was in the very best of spirits, joking with us and it was never dreamed by either my wife or myself that she was so near her end. About 10 o'clock she came out and waved her hand to us, but nothing was thought of it as she had done that before, but it now seems that what we thought a playful greeting was in reality a mute call for assistance, because we found her lying unconscious on the very spot she had tried to summon us from. This was at 12 o�clock. She never regained consciousness and died at 6 o�clock that evening.

        The home of Mr. and Mrs. Becker was at Three Forks in the Solcan and the above sad tidings will come as a severe shock to Mr. and Mrs. Becker�s friends in that locality.
