Obituary

 

Herman Heinrich Bohling, son of Heinrich Bohling and Wilhelmine,

nee Witte, was born March 27, 1879 at Schwalingen, Hanover,
Germany.

He passed away Saturday, August 22, at the age of 80 years,

four months and 28 days. The deceased had suffered recurrences

of an ailment which had bothered him for several years.

He received the blessing of holy baptism on April 6, 1879 and

on March 24, 1893 was confirmed in the Lutheran faith at

Schwalingen.

During October of 1894, at the age of 15, he emigrated to America

with Dick Rohrs and William Bohling, Sr. For about five years he

worked at the Dick Rohrs and Conrad Harms, Sr., homes, and the

next three years farmed for himself on the Fred Rohrs farm near

Johnson. During the fall of 1902 he purchased the farm southwest

of Auburn where he spent the remainder of his life.

On November 8, 1902 Pastor Theodore Streng united Herman

H. Bohling in marriage to Ida M. Oestmann at the home of her

father near Saint Paul Lutheran church (Hickory Grove). Their

union was blessed with three children, two daughters and one son.

One child, a girl, was stillborn.

The golden wedding was celebrated in 1952 in the community

building. Another happy occasion was his 80th birthday, when

approximately 100 relatives and friends gathered at the Legion

hall to honor him.
