Behne, 58, veteran of World War I, will be held Thursday at 2 p.m. from the Weston Behner funeral home. Dr. E. A. Piper will officiate, and burial will be in Evergreen cemetery. Mr. Behne passed away at 2 p.m. yesterday at the Jefferson county hospital where he had been a patient for two days. He had been in failing health the past several months. The war veteran was born January 13, 1889, in Burlington, Iowa, the son of the late Henry and Sophia Behne. He was united in marriage to Rachel Pickett on November 16, 1925, at Galesburg, Illinois. Mr. Behne had been a resident of the community for over 21 years and was a member of the Lutheran church and the American Legion. He is survived by his wife and three brothers: Albert, Fremont, Ohio; George, Clyde, Ohio; and Walter, Burlington, Iowa (sic. Walter W Behne). --------- This information was provided by SAC message on March 20, 2015: "The marriage certificate states date of marriage to Clara Saftig- Jan. 20, 1910. They were married by Rev. Thomas F. Galligan at St. Paul's Church, Burlington, Iowa. The witnesses on marriage license were her brother and sister, Theodore J. Saftig and Anna C. Saftig." --------- John was the third husband of Rachel Despain. She had previously been married to two Pickett brothers, Amon and Charles S. (a/k/a Caleb Sherman). --------- Note: An obituary or death notice was evidently published in the Clyde Enterprise newspaper, Clyde, Ohio, on April 3, 1947, page 1 column 2. Presumably that was due the residence there of George Behne, a brother of John Henry Behne. A online copy of that obituary can be obtained for a $3.00 fee from "The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center" Ohio Obituary Index.
