Bio
From the Platte County, NE. Web site: http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~neplatte/vitals/vitals1936.html The Columbus Daily Telegram, September 8, 1936 John Henry Imig, 63, of Lincoln, former Columbus baker who resided here for many years before moving to Lincoln seven years ago, died there suddenly at 9:30 a.m. Sunday in St. Elizabeth's hospital. He was employed as baker at the Walker bakery, and had gone to work early that morning as usual. About 7:30 a.m. he suffered a stroke of apoplexy, which rendered him unconscious. He was removed to the hospital immediately, and death came two hours later. A native of Germany, he came to this country with relatives when he was 12 years of age. They came to Columbus and he found a home with the late Anton Vogel, who also gave him employment in his bakery. It was there that he learned his life-long trade. As a young man he went to Fullerton to work, later bought the bakery and cafe in which he was employed, and then, after a few years, sold it and returned to Columbus. Here again he worked as a baker in various Columbus bakeries, and then bought the bakery at 2503 Eleventh street, which he operated for several years. In 1927 he sold out and moved to a farm on Lover's Lane southeast of Columbus. About two years later he moved to Lincoln, where he followed the baker's trade until his death. His first wife was Miss Alma Schmidt, who died in 1914. To this union were born three sons and two daughters--Carl, of Lincoln, Henry, of San Antonio, Tex., Edward, of Omaha, Miss Elsie, of Los Angeles, and Sister Baptist, of Rockford, Ill. In 1920 he married Miss Agnes Jaworski, and four daughters and a son were born to them--Miss Marjorie, of Rockford, Ill., Elaine, Maxine, Dorothy, and Paul, all at home. Besides his wife and sons and daughters, he is survived by four grandchildren and a sister, Mrs. Flora Hornberger , of Morrison, Okla. The body was brought here last evening over the Burlington from Lincoln, and is at the McKown Funeral home where it will lie in state until the hour of the funeral. Services will be held at 9 a.m. tomorrow at St. Bonaventure's church, with Rev. Fr. Athanase, pastor, officiating, and burial will be made in the Catholic cemetery.
