=Notable Families=
==Becker family==
WiS 1940-1: Fallen Asleep: Akron, OH: "Dan L. Becker, after a lingering illness, went into the presence of the Lord on Nov. 17. A brother who feared God above many. Who sought to honor God and serve His people. Faithful when in health. Patient in his long illness. His end was peace. The Editor, while holding tent meetings in Akron this summer had the privilege of visiting dear Dan often while there, and shall never forget one day when he sat up in his bed and sweetly sang, “Can You Wonder That I Love Him So.” The fragrance and savor of Christ that he manifested will ever be blessed in the memory of those who knew him. For many years he lived in Oakland, Cal. The services were very large, over 70
relatives being present. W. P. Douglas and Albert Joyce spoke goodly and faithful words to those who attended."
WiS 1956-2: Fallen Asleep: "Our beloved and esteemed brother Ross Campbell, “went home” January 11th,, Details in next issue."
WiS 1956-3: F.A.: "Saints of this city and whole district lost a valuable counselor and friend in the homecall Jan. 11th, of dear Ross Campbell. Our brother was born in Ireland in 1884, saved at sixteen years of age, gathered with the saints at Carrick until coming to [[Pennsylvania#Philadelphia|Philadelphia]], Penna., when a young man and met with the Assembly there at 20th and Dickinson. He came to Akron Oct. 10th, 1913, and has been a valuable brother all through these years. His godly advice and shepherding marked him out as a worthy elder and the younger men left behind have a good example to follow thus and we bespeak for them God's blessing as they continue in the things which they have learned... 2 Tim. 3:14. Pray for his widow. Their home was open to many and hospitality was freely extended, to which many of us can testify. We count it a privilege to have known our beloved brother for more than 35 years, profiting by his counsel and friendship in the things of God. Three sons and one daughter should have our prayers."
