HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY                         1069 

George Borell, an enterprising farmer of Woodland township, was born 
in a log cabin on his father's homestead, April 27, 1872, son of Louis 
and Catherine (Kneable) Borell, pioneers of this township. He attended 
the public schools and was reared to farm pursuits. After attaining adult 
years, he rented the old homestead for some fifteen years. Then he secured 
160 acres of the J. W. Cruzen farm in section 5, and here he still lives. 
He has been successful in his operations and is regarded as a prosperous 
man in every respect. He carries on general farming and raised a good grade 
of stock. He is now serving as vice president of the Waverly Co-Operative 
Creamery. Mr. Borell was married in May, 1900, to Margaret Fitzpatrick,
