Borre, prominent and respected young business man of Wolbach, died early Friday morning February 10 at the General hospital at Grand Island. He became ill with an attack of appendicitis and was taken to the hospital on February 1, where he was operated upon. Complications set in and a second operation was performed on Tuesday, Feb 7 an abscess having formed. The following day he underwent a third operation, but death came in spite of skillful surgery and excellent care. The body was brought to Wolbach early Friday morning. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon Feb 12 at the Wolbach Methodist church at 2 PM. By 1:30 the church was filled and a very large number were unable to find room within the building. It was one of the largest funerals ever to be held in Wolbach...

The pall bearers were Ernest Thayer, Jr. Ernest Hansen, H. M. Hansen, Eddie Wight, A. J. Larsen and Leonard Winfrey. Members of the Masonic order attended in a body, the deceased being a prominent member in the local Masonic lodge. The Masonic services were conducted at the cemetery, led by Judge Ralph Haggart of St. Paul. The passing of Johnnie Borre is a great shock and great loss to this community. Having always appeared so active, so energetic and robust, it is difficult to realize that he has been taken. John Borre was one of Wolbach's most progressive businessmen. Starting about 9 years ago in a little grocery store on the corner, he applied himself with such industry and intelligence to his work that his business grew rapidly and he built up one of the finest grocery stores in the county. Taken in the prime of life, the entire community is stirred with sorrow and regret, and also a deep sympathy for the bereft wife, parents, brothers, sisters, and other relatives of John Borre. OBITUARY -- John Edward Borre was the 8th child of a family of 9, and the first to be called from this splendid family. He was born in Cope, Colorado, February 7th, 1900 and at the time of his death was 33 years and 3 days old. At the age of 7, he moved with his parents to Wolbach, Nebraska. In the year of 1922 he operated a motion picture show. Disposing of this in 1923 he entered the grocery business which he managed with unusual success until the time of his death. On June 14th 1925, he was united in marriage to Ann May Nelson. He was a devoted husband always thinking of the comfort and pleasure of his loving wife. He was baptized in the Lutheran faith March 24, 1921; was a member of the Wolbach A.F.&A. M. Lodge No. 292; and a member of the local Fire Department. He was kind and friendly and it was always his pleasure to lend a helping hand to those in need. He possessed a keen wit and enjoyed laughing and talking with his many friends.
