BOEHM - Leopold F., aged 79 years, father of Poldi, Mortiz and late Henry R. Boehm. Services at Graceland chapel Sunday, April 5, 2 p.m. (Source: Chicago Daily Tribune, April 5, 1914)

As of the 1910 Census Leopold was living with two of his adult children in Highland Park, IL. Mr. Boehm's son, Henry Richard Boehm, had died in New York from a self-inflicted gunshot wound just two months before his own death. He immigrated to the United States in 1852 and was naturalized in Cook County, IL in 1872.

I have confirmed that he was cremated at Graceland Cemetery in Chicago.

The whereabouts of Mr. Boehm's remains are unknown at this time. Mysteriously, Leopold, his wife and son Henry Richard are listed together in the 1946 Los Angeles Death Index between June 29-30 with the death date noted as "unknown" for all three. No DC numbers are listed and "R" for removal from the index is noted for each. His last surviving son, Moritz, died in Los Angeles in 1943.

My guess is that Mortiz had them in storage when they were discovered. Where are they now? The quest continues.
