Double Bereavement In The Borre Homes –
Bereavement came to both the Chris Borre and Wm. Borre homes this week. A telegram Wednesday morning to the Wm. Borre home brought the news that Mrs. Hurley Moffet, (sic) formerly Vivian Borre had passed away at her home at Vista, Calif., about 6:30 that morning. Friends and relatives were greatly shocked at the news because Mrs. Moffet, although she had been ailing had been feeling better and the last word from her indicated she was much improved. She had scores of friends in this community where she was born and raised.
The body will be brought here for burial but as we go to press the date of the funeral was not known...[details of other death in family]...

Funeral for Mrs. Hurley Moffett Held Sunday Afternoon --
Relatives and friends pay last respects to departed loved one at Trinity Lutheran Church --
The funeral of Mrs. Hurley Moffett, who died at her home at Vista, Calif., a week ago yesterday was held Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at the Wm Borre home and at 2:30 at the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran church with the pastor, Rev. E. N. Haugse having charge. The choir of four sang two requested hymns and Mrs. David Bengtson sang "In the Beautiful Garden of Prayer." Interment was made in Hillside cemetery under the direction of McIntyre's funeral home.
News of her death last week came as a distinct shock to her relatives and many friends in the Wolbach community. Heart trouble was given as the cause of her death. Services were held at Vista prior to the departure there.
The body arrived in Grand Island Saturday evening accompanied by Hurley Moffett and Donald Borre who was there visiting. It was taken to the parental home that night where many friends called to pay their respects. Snow-blocked roads had been cleared by kindly and willing neighbors.
This obituary was read at the services Sunday: Vivian Wilma Borre Moffett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Borre, was the oldest of a family of nine children and the first to be called from this family.
She was born at Wolbach, Neb., Oct. 8, 1910 and passed away at Vista, Calif., Jan. 22, 1941 at the age of 30 years, 3 months and 14 days.
Vivian attended her first eight years of school at District 23 in Howard County and was graduated from Wolbach high school in May 1928. She also attended Kearney State Normal school. She was a successful teacher in the local primary grades for three years following six years of teaching in a rural school.
She was united in marriage to Hurley Moffett Oct. 13, 1938 at Ocean Beach, Calif. She was baptised April 16, 1924 and was confirmed April 20, the same year in Trinity Evangelical Lutheran church of Wolbach, Neb. She was a faithful member of the congregation and for a time taught in the church school. Vivian was also a member of the Rebekah lodge of Wolbach.
Surviving beside the husband and parents are six sisters and two brothers. They are Mrs. Leland Berney of Wolbach; Mrs. Kermit Moffett of Tacoma, Colo.; Mrs. Roland Nelson of Tolland, Colo.; Mrs. Clarence Fiese of Grand Island; Donald, Wayne, Jeanne and Joan all of Wolbach; also her grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stratton of Denver Colo., and Mrs. and Mrs. Chris Borre of Wolbach. A number of other relatives and a host of friends join hearts with those who mourn.
Hers was a beautiful Christian character, ever ready to serve others in any way she could. She was loved by all who knew her and she will be greatly missed.
Pallbearers were Howard Tellman, Earl Larson, Joe Grossart, Joe Druliner, Howard Lemburg and Emmett Wagner. Flower girls were Mrs. Howard Lemburg, Mrs. Earl Larson, Mrs. Joe Grossart, Miss Charlotte Kasal, Miss Edith Van Kleve, Mrs. Alvin Barr, Mrs. James Holm and Mrs. Emmett Wagner.
