Herman was the second oldest son of Henry and Catherine Becker.
He attended Boone County, NE. School District #77 during the winter months. As a young man, he would work for neighbors from sunup until sundown for $1 a day.
When WW I started, he registered for the Draft on June 5,1917. He was the second one chosen in the draft lottery from Boone County. He reported to Camp Funston; Fort Riley, KS. on September 18, 1917. He served in the infantry and fought through the muddy, bloody battlefields of the three major fronts of Meuse-Argonne, Chateau Thierre, and Bella Woods.
In 1925, His Father, brothers, and Herman began to construct buildings on land which his Father had purchased eleven miles west of Albion, NE. in Dublin Precinct.
They would spend the week building and then return to their home northwest of Newman Grove on Saturday nights for clean clothes and food supplies. His Mother, Anna, had spent the week baking and canning meat so there would be food to eat for the following week. They constructed what is now the chicken house first, and lived in it while they built the hip-roofed barn, house, hog barn, corn crib/granary and garage. They used Model T trucks for hauling the lumber, cement, and sand. Henry spent most of the summer hauling the building supplies from Primrose. Bill and Herman were the carpenters and their father, Henry, was kept busy sawing, carrying, mixing, and hauling plus other errands to keep the carpenters busy.
