HENRY BOHL (deceased), was born in Germany, in January, 1813. In 1826, with his parents, Jacob and Catharine E. Bohl, he emigrated to America. They came to Pennsylvania, where they resided perhaps seven years. They then came to Ohio, and settled in Eagle Township, Brown County, near Fincastle, on the farm at present occupied by J. T. Parish. In February, 1844, our subject married Mary Hennize, by whom he had ten children, seven of whom are still living — William, George, Henry, Christopher, Mary, Maggie and Sophia. After their marriage, for perhaps twenty-two years, they lived near Fincastle. Mr. Bohl departed this life in December, 1866. His widow survives him, and resides on her farm of 195 acres in the northern part of this township.
