Jacob Bohman was born at dwelling number 17 in the village of Hyršov (formerly Hirschau, Germany), Domažlice District, Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic to parents Jakob Bohmann and Theresa Grossl on 3 October 1853.
Jakob married Anna Ertl in Hyršov on 20 May 1878.
The Bohmann family are enumerated on the 1880 census in Hyršov living in dwelling 13. This is the same house where Anna Bohmann was born in 1878. Jacob’s birth year was listed as 1851 on this census. It was not uncommon for men to list inaccurate ages or birth dates on census records to evade military service. In later years, the census takers began asking for birth certificates as proof of age.
Jacob did indeed evade his military service by fleeing to the US in 1883 leaving his pregnant wife and 3 small children behind. He arrived in New York on 3 April 1883 aboard the SS Elbe. Jacob migrated to the town of Auburndale in Wood County, Wisconsin.
Jacob died in 1892 from tuberculosis of the bone caused by axing himself in the knee. He and Anna had a family of 7 at the time of his death.
