^r' an(l Mrs. Oswald Oefinger and
•M. Mr. .Sam McCord, of San An-
and his partner, failed in business;
and although owing many thousand
dollars he was still young, able to
work and would not take the bene-
fit of the bankrupt laws, choosing
to pay all his obligations. It was
about this time, some twenty years
ago that he came to the Devine sec-
tion and engaged in farming; and
at the time of his death owned more
than 1,000 acres in cultivation, and
considerable property in town, be-
ing proprietor of the Bohl Bottling
Works, doing a large and increasing
business each year. It takes reverses
some times to bring out the best
there is in a man and only recently
he discussed some of these things
with ' the editor and seemed very-
proud of the fact that, while mis-
fortune at one time over took him,
he did not falter or give up, but
came again and gave his children an
example of an honest man; and a suc-
cessful citizen. He reared his child-
ren in the fear of God, and was a
pillar in the Catholic Church here,
one of its charter members, and his
pastor always knew where to go to
find council and help.
The funeral was one of the largest
ever held in the county, hundreds of
people coming from Castroville, Hon-
do and other communities, where he
had lived; and practically everybody
at Devine, regardless of church af-
filiation, turned out and packed
