So sad to have only been married 7 weeks - and then to not even have his grave to visit. Most of the Bohn family died in the war? How awful!
The 3 boys were all their children..Maude remarried in 1920..which is my next posting.

I am the first child born to John Gregory Bohn in Lemoore California December 31st 1969. My mother's name was Terrell elbon her maiden name is Arevalo. I had a brother who passed shortly after birth in 1970 his name was Robert Bond. Other than that I have no siblings from both my mother and my father but I do have four younger brothers from my father who all reside in Wisconsin. I met my father in 1990 when my best friend and I took a trip to Wisconsin to meet him for the first time he died shortly after.

I am researching Tasker, Jones, Bowen, Rees of Wales; Kroetch, Chartrand of Canada; and Boggs, Ferguson, Smith, of West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. Also Steeples of Kansas. And on my mother's New England roots - well, too numerous to name since she descends from Mayflower passengers as well as Dutch East India captains who arrived with their families before the Mayflower landed further north than was planned. :)
I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Director). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in Campbell (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our current Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
