  1. Laura, I have a question regarding “1903 Obituaries – December 5.” Second name is Beohm, this for Elizabeth and Joseph…however the childrem name spelling is Boehm. I am looking for my grandmother Lanora Boehm and possibly see her married to George.
    Can you help clarify? Was this a misspelling or a possible change in the name spelling?
    I have a marriage license for George Boehm and Lanora Hostetter.
    Thank you so much in advance.
    Tom Hillesheim
