Wright County Pioneer Dead

Adolphus Bohy, one of the pioneer settlers of Wright county, died at the home of his son-in-law, four miles east of Woolstock, Tuesday evening. Death was due to old age and followed a year or more of Invalidism. Mr. Bohy was past 89 years of age and a widower, his wife having passed away fourteen or fifteen years ago. Since that time he had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Bernard and family, on a farm east of Woolstock. Mr. Bohy was a Frenchman, being born in France, but came to Wright county between forty and fifty years ago. He accumulated considerable property and at the time of his death owned several large farms of value. He is survived by two sons and three daughters. The funeral will be held at the French church, east of Woolstock, Friday afternoon at two o'clock with interment in the French cemetery nearby.
