BOHN:-At the Lake House, in this village, on Friday, December 21st, John C. Bohn, in the 48th year of his age.
Mr. Bohn has been a resident of Two Rivers for upwards of a quarter of a century, and was widely known as the landlord of the Lake House. He took a keen interest in the growth and prosperity of the town and believed in liberally supporting her churehes (sic) and public schools, for the benefit of the community at large. He was a kind and provident parent and loved his children dearly. All who knew John Bohn knew that he had one sad habit, that of strong drink, but it was one that had so firm a hold on him that neither the strongest resolutions on his part nor the earnest solicitation of friends could banish it; but, notwithstanding, up to the time of his death he never ceased to struggle against it. His funeral which took place yesterday was very largely attended, although the weather was very damp and disagreeable.-Chronicle.
