Borck, Bert (31 JAN 1891 - 30 Sep 1910)

Bert Borck, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Borck of the town of Worden, Clark County, Wis., died at his home on Friday afternoon Sept. 30, 1910, after an illness of but two days duration, the cause being pronounced uraemic poisoning. Bert was born on the old homestead in the town of Worden on Jan. 31, 1891, and therefore had nearly reached his twentieth year. Is is sad at any time to stand beside the bedside of the dying and watch life's ebbing tied drifting the loved one slowly, perhaps, but surety into the great ocean of eternity. He was a model young man, loved and respected by all that knew him, and the sorely bereaved parents, brothers and sisters have the sympathy of the whole community in their great sorrow. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place from the residence on Monday afternoon, Rev. W. H. Lahr of Curtiss, officiating, interment taking place in the Thorp Village Cemetery.
