Death of John J. Backes
After an illness of about two weeks, John J. Backes passed away at his home one-half mile south of Lindsay last Friday. Pneumonia, following an attack of Spanish influenza, caused his death. He was twenty-eight years of age and grew to manhood in the Lindsay neighborhood. He received his early education at the parochial schools of this place and after completing a business course at the Fremont Normal, he became associated with his brother, Henry, in the nursery business at Humphrey, Nebr. He returned to Lindsay about six years ago and located on his farm south of town where he resided until his death. On November 12, 1912, he married Miss Clara Herbes. Two children were born to them, Kathleen, aged five, and Bernadette, aged three. His honest and industrious habits won for him the high esteem in which he was held by the citizens of the community in which he lived. Funeral services were conducted Monday morning at 9 o'clock at the Holy Family church by Rev. Fr. Columban. The pall bearers were Pat Sweeney, William Gogan, Henry Albright, Dominic Roufs, Tony Diederich and William Henggeler.
