CHRIS BERNEY PASSES AWAY –
Succumbs to a Long Illness Last Sunday Evening –
After an illness of many months Chris Berney passed away at his home in Wolbach last Sunday evening at about 7 o'clock. He had been very low for several months and confined to his bed since the first of the year. During most of the summer he had lived in a tent which helped to relieve the severe suffering which lasted through the last months of his life. Mr. Berney endured the great suffering with patience and fortitude, while his family and friends did everything possible for his comfort.
The funeral services were held at the Trinity Lutheran church Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and an immense crowd attended, more than the church could accommodate. Rev. White had charge of the services and interment was made in Hillside Cemetery.
OBITUARY – Christian Berney was born in Greeley county, Nebraska, about ten miles north of Wolbach, December 1, 1884, on the Joe Berney farm. He died at his home in Wolbach September 19, 1926, aged 41 years, 9 months and 18 days.
In infancy he was baptized in the German Evangelical church of Columbus, Nebr. He was married in 1907 to Miss Katie Klein at Greeley.
He leaves to mourn his death his wife and two children, Leon aged 17, and Edna aged 16, his father Joseph Berney, two brothers and four sisters namely, John and Pete Berney of Wolbach, Mrs. Rose Henggler of Columbus, Josephine Grossart, Emma Grossart and Lena Grossart of Wolbach, and also many other relatives.
His mother preceded him in death about 21 years ago, his brother Joseph 22 years ago and his brother George about 3 years ago.
Having lived his entire life in this community, he was well known and respected by all. The surviving wife and children together with all other relatives, have the sympathy of the whole community.
CARD OF THANKS – To all our kind friends and neighbors we are deeply grateful for their many acts of kindness and expressions of sympathy during the long illness and at the time of the death of our beloved husband, father, son and brother, and we wish in this way to sincerely thank each one. We would add a special word of appreciation too, of the many beautiful flowers sent.
