THE LATE FREMONT BECKER - 

After weeks and months of patient suffering, Fremont H. Becker passed peacefully to his reward on the 11th inst. He had not seen a well day for over six years. About the first of December he was compelled to give up work, and since that time he has had to sit and wait for the end. As the hope of regaining health faded out, there was kindled in his breast a hope of a future life, free from disease and pain, where so many of his loved ones had preceded him. During the last few weeks his was a great sufferer, though uncomplaining.

He was permitted to experience that blessed assurance that his sins were all forgiven, and calling to his mother and sisters that he was coming, he passed triumphantly away. He was nearly 29 years old, and leaves a wife and a little boy, a father, two brothers and a host of friends to mourn his death.    Canadice, June 23.
