George Anthony Borwey was born March 18, 1884, at Jewell, Iowa. He died August 12, 1921, at Wallace, Idaho, being at the time of his death 37 years, 4 months and 25 days old. He was a member of the United Lutheran church of this city, being confirmed when he was 14 years of age by Rev. H. O. Holm, who at that time was pastor of the United Lutheran church of this city.

Since 1907 he has been a resident of Wallace, Idaho, where he was united in marriage with Miss Blossom Hyde of Spokane, Wash., in 1907.

He leaves to mourn his untimely death, his wife, his mother, and brother, Benjamin, of this city, his father and two brothers having preceded him to the Great Beyond.

He died suddenly of heart failure. Mrs. Borwey was in Spokane at the time of his death, expecting to undergo a minor operation on her throat. Mr. Borwey was not feeling very well at the store and went home and was found dead in his bed that evening by one of his clerks.
