Otto was the third child of Henry and Catherine Becker.
He attended Boone County, NE. District #77 during the winter months. All of his life he had an acute sense of humor. He loved to tease his nieces and nephews and they loved him for it! As a child he had broken a family rule and his Mother told him to go to the orchard and bring back a switch so she could give him the whipping he deserved. As a result he brought back an entire dead apple tree which the wind had just blown over.
He served his country during WW I as an infantryman, stationed in Fort Dodge, IA. from 1917-18.
After he married Ellen, they moved to a farm eleven miles west of Albion,NE., in Dublin Precinct, which his Father had purchased. They lived there for fifty-six years; next to the farm of his brother, Herman. The two brothers exchanged farm help for over fifty years. They used the binder together, threshed, shocked small grain, stacked hay, and even went fishing with one another. Any job which needed two hands, they were there to help each other.
Otto developed Alzheimer disease in his later years and passed away at the Mid-Nebraska Lutheran Home in Newman Grove, NE. Ellen continues to live there.
