BOHAC DIED MONDAY EVE Young Business Man of Weimar Succumbs After Long Illness Mr. Alfonse J. Bohac, a prominent business man of this city, proprietor of the cotton yard and the Happy Hour Theatre, died Monday night at the family residence, after a long and painful illness. He had been in ill health for a year or more, but due to his indomitable spirit he bore up bravely to the last, and many were deceived into the belief that poor Alfonse would yet come out victor in the battle with Death. But it was not to be. God had willed it otherwise--His finger touched him and he went to sleep, to be reunited with beloved father and brother and other loved ones who had gone on before. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at the Odd Fellows Cemetery and was attended by one of the longest funeral processions ever witnessed in this section, attesting the popularity and general esteem in which decedent was held by everyone. Rev. Paul Piepenbrok, Lutheran minister, officiated in the funeral service, and was assisted by the choirs of the various local churches. The floral emblems placed upon the grave were among the most lovely ever seen in a Weimar cemetery. The grave was literally buried fro sight by the huge bank of flowers placed thereon. Alfonse J. Bohac was born Jan. 23, 1892, in the neighboring community of Dubina, Fayette county, and with his parents moved to Weimar at the age of 3 years. Here he spent the remainder of his life. He was a son of the late J. R. Bohac, who died some time since. Mr. Bohac, the subject of this sketch, was united in marriage to Miss Alma Koether at Beeville, Texas, Feb. 26, 1914, and she, together with the aged mother, five sisters and one brother survive. Mr. Bohac was an enterprising public spirited, liberal hearted business man. He was kind hearted to a fault, bore his sufferings with little complaint, and bore up cheerfully in the last. His place of business was always open to the public for meetings of religious character or for the benefit of the town, and without price, and as an attestation of the popularity and general esteem in which he was held, it may be stated that every business house of the town and community was closed on the occasion of the funeral, and he was accorded one of the most largely attended funerals ever witnessed in this section. During his long illness, extending over many months, a devoted wife mother, sisters and friends gave him every attetion possible and nothing was left undone for his comfort and welfare. Kind hearted, companionable, true as steel to his friends, appreciative of every little courtesy exended him, he was popular with all of our people, and his death at such an early age of life is deeply and sincerely regretted. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended the bereaved ones. Weimar Mercury June 16, 1922, page 1
