Columbus Journal, February 12, 1908
After suffering for several weeks from a complication of troubles, J.H. Johannes, editor of the Nebraska Biene, passed away early Wednesday morning at his home in the eastern part of the city. Although his ailment was of a very serious nature, still his friends had every reason to hope for his recovery, and his death was a shock to all. Mr. Johannes was born in Oldenburg, Germany, August 2, 1867, and came to America and Platte county in 1884. For several years he worked on the farm and then moved to Columbus, being employed at the creamery and later purchasing the oil business. In 1895 he became identified with the newspaper business, and in 1898 became proprietor of the Biene. In 1891 he was married to Miss Louisa Franke, who with six children survive him. His father and one sister are also living in Germany. Mr. Johannes was one of the public spirited, progressive men of this city, one who was always working for the best interests of the community. At the time of his death he was a member of the city council and also chairman of the democratic county central committee. He was a member of the Sons of Herman, Woodmen of the World, Masons, and Modern Woodmen. He was also grand secretary for the state of Nebraska of the Sons of Herman, which position he was filling in a highly creditable manner. His loss will not only be felt by the newspaper fraternity of this city, of which he was a member, but by all who knew him. The funeral will be held from the home Friday at 2 p.m., being conducted by Rev. Neumarker of the German Reformed church.
