Helge A. Boe, for many years a hardware merchant of
Northfield, was born in Norway, at Vang, Walders, July
17,
1849, and in 1864 emigrated to America, going direct
to
Decorah, Iowa, where he entered the school and
attended one
year, after which he and his brother decided to come
west,
and walked the entire distance from Decorah to
Northfield,
where they secured employment for a time, after which
they
engaged in the hardware business, in 1879, in
partnership with
A. R. Manning, and continued for about fifteen years,
when
Mr. Boe bought his partners' interests and continued
to conduct
the business alone. Part of his present store, which
fronts on
Main street, was at the time of the Northfield robbery
occupied
by the First National Bank, and in this building Mr.
Haywood
was killed by the robbers. Mr. Boe has built up a
large and
prosperous business, and carries a complete stock of
hardware.
He also owns a farm in Bridgewater township, located
about
two and one-half miles from Northfield. He was married
to
Mary Lajord, a native of Norway, who was brought by
her
parents to America when an infant. Mr. and Mrs. Boe
have
had four children, one of whom died in infancy. Aslak
M.,
Bertha A. and Anna I. The family faith is that of the
Norwegian
United Lutheran Church, of which they are regular
attendants.

BOOK - HISTORY OF FREEBORN COUNTY, MN. PUBLISHED IN 1911.
0. A. Boe, a modern and progressive farmer, who owns 160
acres of good, fertile land in section 35, Riceland township, first
saw the light of day January 25, 1873, in the township where he
now resides. In 1871 his parents, Andrew I. and Anna Boe, settled
in Riceland, having left their home in Norway and crossed
the ocean to America. They bought eighty acres of land at first
and, as prosperity crowned their honest toil, they purchased more
land, eventually becoming the owners of 240 acres. Here for
thirty-seven years they tilled the soil, sparing no effort toward
improving their property. How well they succeeded in their
life's work is demonstrated by the fact that in 1908 they retired
from the arduous labor of the farm and, moved into the city of
Albert Lea, where they now reside. 0. A., the subject of this
biography, acquired a good education, beginning in the country
schools and ending in the Luther Academy of Albert Lea. He
then purchased 200 acres of his father, to which he devoted his
time and attention for a period of four years, after which he disposed
of it and bought the farm now occupied by himself and
family. Three years after he moved to this farm he rented it and
entered in partnership with Berkvam & Winjum in a grocery
business, remaining in this work for three years. He then returned
to his farm in 1910 and has since engaged in general farming.
He married Gertrude Bell in 1899 and to this union have
been born five children: Audrey, Irwin, Theo, Oliver and Leonard.
Mr. Boe has ever held the esteem and regard of those associated
with him in the different offices which he has held in his community.
lie has been a member of the school board, also of the
town board, and is one of the stockholders in the Sumner Valley
Creamery. He follows the teachings endorsed by the Lutheran
church and his political views coincide with those of the Republican
party.

| | BOE | EDWARD | NORTHFIELD NEWS | 08/MAY/1981 | Boe, Edward Northfield 08/Mary/1981
FORMER SCHOOL BUS OPERATOR. Edward Boe, 69,long operator of a school bus service here, died at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park on Thursday, May 7,1981. He had been injured five weeks earlier in a one-car accident near New Prague. From Queen of Peace Hospital at New Prague, he was transferred to Methodist Hospital. He told friends that he had reached down to pick something off the floor when the car went out of control. Pneumonia and other complications followed the injuries.
It was paradoxical that Boe should die in this way for driving was his favorite pastime as well as having been his vocation for many years.
Boe was born Dec.17,1911, in Northfield, the son of Osten and Gertrude (Sorbu) Boe. He attended the Northfield public schools.
At one time he and the late Fran Prehall operated the Northfield Taxi Company. At times he also worked at Northfield Mills Products and as a painter.
When city and rural school districts across the state began to consolidate and extensive rural bus travel became necessary, Boe organized a company to serve part of Northfield district.
While some districts bought their own buses and hired their drivers, many others were going the route of contracting with independent operators. Boe believed that the independent operators would encounter various parallel problems and that it would be advantageous for them to organize to exchange information on their experiences. He was therefore a leader in the organizing of the Minnesota School Bus Operators at the beginning of the 50s and he was a director of the organization for several years. The organization has about 420 members. For some time, Boe owned a large building on East Fourth for bus storage. That building was taken out when the parking lot was established between Fourth and Fifth, Division and Washington. In 1969, he bought the building at 516 Division which is now the Drentlaw office building. His mechanical service and his office was across the street in a former oil station, the current site of the First National Banks drive-in-facility.
Ill health — his own and his wifes 一 caused him to decide to sell his bus service to Kenneth Grisim.
His wife, the former Marjorie MacKay, whom he had married on Sept. 6,1934, died on Jan.19,1975, after an extended illness. It had been a difficult decision for him to give up the bus service, his friends and family recall, for he especially
loved the young people that he served. He liked to watch the children grow up and to note what they were doing with
their lives. One friend recalled that Boe liked nothing better than to have a young person come up to him and
reminisce about riding the buses. Boe always enjoyed the hearty respect of the school administration and board.
He was known for keeping his equipment in excellent shape and for efficient operation. His friends also recalled that he was a most sympathetic man, always ready to help anyone in trouble or need. For a number of years he took care of
the cost of holiday dinners for single men without families members of the Characters Club they revealed. He did some flying when he was young. For quite a few years he was a member of Northfield Lodge No. 50, I00F. Recently he had participated in some of the Senior Citizen events. He was a member of the Moravian Church. He is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Irigeborg Christie of Northfield, Gertrude Olesen (Mrs. Jennings) and Mrs. Evelyn Hanson of Minneapolis; one brother, Alvin Boe of Minneapolis. He did not have children. His parents, two brothers (Ole and Chris) as well as his wife are,deceased. The funeral service was held Saturday, May 5, at the Benson-Anderson Funeral Home, the Rev. Joseph LaFortune officiating. Organist was Hedwig Klinfelter; vocal soloist, Harriet Menard. Interment was in Oaklawn Cemetary. Pallbearers were Steven MacKay and Joel Frana of Northfield; Richard Christie, Douglas, Darrell and Dennis Olesen of Minneapolis. PHOTO.

The Rev. Paul A. Boe, 75, St. Olaf College graduate, who became known for his unflinching support of the American Indian Movement, died of a heart attack Saturday, June 9,1990, while visiting friends in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Boe was born in La Crosse, Wis., and grew up in Blair and Superior, Wis., where he graduated from high
school. He graduated from St. Olaf College and studied social work at the University of Chicago before enrolling at Luther Seminary in St Paul in 1938. In 1969, while director of social services for the American Lutheran Church (ALC), Boe helped Dennis Banks and Clyde Bellecourt found the American Indian Movement
(AIM) by providing $5,000 in church funds. Four years later is faced a jail sentence of up to 14 months for refusing to testify on what he saw while at Wounded Knee, S.D., çluring the Indian occupation. Boe invoked clerical confidentiality under the First Amendment. Eventually, the court of appeals reversed his contempt citation on unrelated procedural grounds. A memorial service was to be held today (Thursday, June 14), at Westwood Lutheran Church in St Louis Park. Memorials are suggested to Elders for Justice, or the donors choice of charity.
| | Boe | Carola Jane | Biography | 01/May/1995 | Northfield Park View Feature; The Carola Jane Boe Story--Im a PK (preachers kid) born in a country parsonage in Hamilton County, Iowa, on September 15, 1915. I was a twin - my twin died at ten days. I often wonder what it would like to have another Carola! We moved to Blue Earth, Minnesota, when I was three, and Canby, Minnesota, when I was six. These were great towns for growingup in. My dad had been brought up in Chicago and always yearned to go “back home”. So we spent three years in a Mission Congregation in Chicago during the depression years. I spent my three junior high years discovering people of different color and cultures. Dad made maps for us and we traveled all over Chicago - to the Art Institute, Lincoln Park - on the street cars, elevated and electric trains, discovering new people and new places. We visited the Hull House and met Jane Adams. All these experiences helped me in my later life with Paul, my husband, who was a social worker, pastor, and advocate for American Indians. My high school and nurses training was in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I did various kinds of nursing starting out as an assistant supervisor in the hospital, and being a college nurse at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. After my marriage to Paul Boe, a student at Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 1941, I did private duty nursing. Then, after my children were born, and I had lost two girls, I worked as a nurse at Central Institute for the Deaf in Saint Louis, Missouri, so that my hearing impaired son could attend school there. I was also an Instructor of Nursing fundamentals in Des Moines, Iowa, where Paul was Executive Director of Lutheran Social Services of Iowa. Our first ten years were spent in parish ministry at Superior, Wisconsin, and Ames, Iowa. Our two boys were born in Superior, Wisconsin, Andrew in 1943 and Peter in 1946. Andrew is currently a parish pastor in Menomonie, Wisconsin. His wife, Joan, is a special education teacher for 3-6 year olds. They have three daughters, Paula is a Spanish teacher in Tucson, Arizona, graduating from Saint Olaf College in 1992. Sara attended Saint Olaf for two years and is now the manager of a restaurant in Menomonie, Wisconsin, which is an affiliate of Hogan Brothers in Northfield. Mary is a freshman student at Saint Olaf. Peter lives in Wisconsin and has been a machinist, and a courier at American Lutheran Church headquarters in Minneapolis and Augsburg Publishing in Minneapolis, and a janitor and ski tow operator. He is currently looking for a job. My life as the wife of Paul was very varied and at times very exciting. In 1959 Paul became director of the division of Social Services of the American Lutheran Church. We moved to Saint Louis Park, Minnesota, and lived there for fifteen years. Paul traveled a great deal during those years as his work involved social concerns for hospitals, nursing homes, childrens homes, chaplaincy programs, and because he was interested in social justice programs, womens concerns and many new social issues. His work expanded and many new programs were started. He had the opportunity to be on boards and committees and many of these involved trips to Europe and I had the opportunity to go along. In the 1960s Paul became interested in American Indians (Native Americans). They came to him for money made available from the American Lutheran Church through the Division of Social Service, to give to minorities. The Indians who came to his office in 1968 were not organized, so Paul helped them organize and that became the American Indian Movement. In 1973 at the beginning of the uprising at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, the Indians of AIM called Paul to come and see what was going on, and what the government was doing to the Indian people. He spent 10 days at Wounded Knee while it was occupied and under siege. All this time I was at home seeing the “war” on TV. Paul was subpoenaed in 1974 and asked to testify in federal court against-Indians charged with crimes. He was asked what he had heard and seen at Wounded Knee. He would not testify against the Indians so he was found in contempt of court, went on trial, and was convicted in the morning, and sentenced in the afternoon, and was sentenced to spend 13 months in prison. The day he was to appear to go to prison, the 8th District Court of Appeals in Saint Louis overturned the sentence 2 to 1 and it was turned back for another trial. In 1974 Paul resigned as Director of Social Services of the ALC and we went to our country cottage on Lake Wapogasset near Amery, Wisconsin, and built on own home. A friend of ours designed the house for us and with the help of our sons and a cousin of Pauls, we did most of the building ourselves. I sat on the roof for three weeks pounding nails in wooden shingles. Paul and I lived in this home for 16 years. Paul was an advocate for Indian concerns during this time. In 1988-89, Paul became interim director of Holden Village, a church retreat center in central Washington State. We were in beautiful Washington for 9 months. Paul died of a heart attack while we were at a 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration for some friends. I lived in my home in Amery for four years and now have moved to Northfield and live here at 910 Cannon Valley Drive. Northfield News 01/May/1995.

Boen, Erick E. The opportunities afforded in America to gain a good home and enjoy the liberties of free speech and thought have been embraced by many sons of the Scandinavian peninsula and Norway is well represented among the number. One of these liberty-loving citizens who came to America to seek their fortunes and have remained to become worthy and honored citizens is Erick E. Boen. He is a well-to-do farmer of Aurdal township, Ottertail county, and has met with pronounced success since taking up his residence there. Mr. Boen was born in Norway October 13, 1853, and was a son of Erick T., and Ingeborg (Bjorga) Boen, both of whom were natives of Norway. He attended the common schools of his native land and in 1868 borrowed the money required to pay his passage to America. After landing in this country he worked hard to repay the borrowed money and gain for himself a comfortable home. He went to Mower county, Minnesota, where he worked until 1871 and then took up his residence in Ottertail county, October 17, 1871, where he worked for a year. In 1872 he bought eighty acres of land in Aurdal township and in 1873 bought an additional tract, his farm now containing one hundred and twenty-seven acres of excellent land. He passed through the usual experiences of a pioneer of the northwest and used ox-teams for ten years after locating in Minnesota. He now has a well improved farm and all machinery for conducting the same. He has seventy-five acres under cultivation and the balance of the farm is pasture and meadow. In 1900 he erected a modern residence at a cost one thousand six hundred dollars. This structure is two stories in height and contains twelve rooms and is a model of convenience and design and is well finished and furnished. It stands in a grove of fine trees as does also the barn, and the home is a pleasant one in every particular. He has an abundance of shelter for stock and product of the place and keeps three horses and twenty head of cattle. He has given the farm his personal supervision and every detail is carefully looked after and the farm presents a most pleasing appearance. Mr. Boen was married October 21, 1878, to Christina Holverson. Mrs. Boen was born in Wisconsin July 30, 1860. To this union six children have been born, namely: Edith G., Clara I., Ida M., Edwin C., Gustaf and Mabel E.

Peter Boeringer was born in 1815, in the city of Mulhouse, in the Rhine department of the province of Alsace, then in France, but annexed to Germany since the war of 1870. His father, George Boeringer, was a merchant of the city of Mulhouse, France; his mother was Ursula Vogel, daughter of Reverend J. Vogel, pastor of the Reformed church of the city of Mulhouse, France. His education was acquired at the college of Mulhouse, and Basel, Switzerland. At the age of fourteen went as an apprentice to the celebrated establishment of Kern and Company, for the construction of optical and surveying instruments, in Switzerland, after which he worked at his trade in the most prominent factories of Germany and Paris. In 1839, he started on his own account, an establishment for the construction of optical and surveying instruments, at Paris, in partnership with his two brothers. In 1848 he came to America, landing at New Orleans; he was soon engaged in the pursuit of his trade in one of the prominent establishments. He was also draughtsman, and had the agency for the Novelty Iron Works of Xew York. His home was in New Orleans nineteen years and his five children were born there. After the civil war he moved to St. Louis, and established himself in his former pursuit. He soon perceived the great future of the city of St. Paul and in 1875 did not hesitate to remove herewith his family, his stock and his workshop. Assisted by his two brothers and three
sons, his establishment is quite flourishing, being patronized by all the railroad companies, whose engineers are aware that they need no longer to call on eastern cities for the construction or repair of their various instruments. Being at New Orleans during the war he was appointed foreman of the manufacturing of arms; he constructed the firs: Enfleld rifle without having any model of it. When the United States government was reinstated, Mr. Boeringer attended the reconstruction of the destroyed light-houses at the mouth of the Mississippi, under Superintendent Bonzano. Mr. Boeringei and sons manage the St. Paul Drawing Academy, free hand and mechanical drawing. The school is entrusted to the son George, who last year went through the drawing course of the Cooper Institute of York. He will finish his studies this year at the Academy of Design.

BOOK - COMPENDIUM OF HISTORY & BIOGRAPHY OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA, PUBLISHED 1902.
Boettcher, Christian. Christian Boettcher, an old and respected farmer of the town of Bradford, Isnti county, was born in Prussia, April 2, 1844, and was the third son of a family of seven children born to his father, a laborer in the village. He was reared and educated in his German home and at the age of fourteen years started for himself, mostly employed at farm work for the ensuing six years. For three years he was a soldier in the Prussian army and served in the war with Austria, being in three different battles in that short but decisive struggle. In the spring of 1868 he came to the United States, being a little over five weeks on the way in a sailing ship. He brought with him his father and mother, two brothers and two sisters, all of whom are now dead. One sister, who came over in 1864, is living in Hennepin county. Mr Boettcher came to Hennepin county from New York and secured employment at farm work during the season and, in the winter, was in the woods. In 1869 he worked on the St. Paul & Duluth Railway, a line of work he followed for two years, keeping with the construction of the road until it entered Duluth, at that time that place having only three buildings. He was employed one summer in a brick yard in Minneapolis and, in 1870, settled on his farm in Isanti county on section 34, which he had secured on his first arrival in the state. Mr. Boettcher was married in 1872 to Miss Anna Ziebell, born in Germany, and a daughter of Charles Ziebell, who lived and died in that country. To this union were born: William, Frederick, Mary, Charles, Ida, Elizabeth and Henry and Martha, who are twins. All were born on the farm. Mr. Boettcher began farming with a yoke of oxen and a cow and had Anoka for his nearest market. There was only one wagon in the neighborhood. He had a log house, 16 x 18 feet, in which he lived eighteen years, and in which all his children were born. In 1888 he built a new home and used the old log house for a barn. In his earlier farming he raised considerable stock, and often his cattle would go astray and the family would spent two or three days in hunting them. There were hard and difficult years through which the Boettcher family had to pass. One year hail destroyed the entire crop; then wind storms did damage to the buildings. In 1879 he was able to find bread with the greatest difficulty for the family. But he passed through all the trouble and trial, and now owns a fine farm of two hundred acres with about eighty acres under cultivation. This is aside from the eighty he passed to his oldest son. The house is 18 x 26 feet with an addition 14 x 20 feet. The barn is 50 x 28 feet; there is a large granary, a commodious and well appointed chicken coop, farm machinery as the place needs, abundant water for the stock, and a fine run of pasture and hay land. All this has come by hard work and good management. He borrowed money to pay his fare to Minneapolis, and he worked the first season to pay his debts. With his family he belongs to the Lutheran church and was instrumental in the erection of the pleasant and attractive house of worship which that church possesses.
| | BOETTCHER | WILLIAM F. | BIOGRAPHY | |
BOOK - COMPENDIUM OF HISTORY & BIOGRAPHY OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA, PUBLISHED 1902.
Boettcher, William F. William F. Boettcher, the proprietor and manager of the leading hotel in the village of Isanti, Isanti county, and who has had an adventurous and varied career, was born in Bradford township on a farm in 1875, being the oldest of a family of eight children born to his father, Christian Boettcher. A sketch of this gentleman appears on another page and affords interesting reading. William F. Boettcher was born in a frontier log cabin and attended the second term of the district school of his neighborhood. This was located on his fathers farm and was noted as the only frame school house in that part of the county at that time. The school was of a poor grade, the teachers were inefficient and the pupils wild and boisterous. Much hard farm work, however, afforded an outlet for surplus enthusiasm, and Mr. Boettcher began for himself when only seventeen years old. For some three months he was in North Dakota at Buttzville and for three seasons was engaged in threshing in that state. He was all over the western part of Minnesota, his summers and falls being mostly employed there in harvesting and threshing, his winters being spent in the lumber woods, mainly at home. The winters of 1894, 1895 and 1896 were spent by him in Minneapolis as a man of all work, ready for anything he might find to do. Mr. Boettcher was married in the spring of 1899 to Miss Louise Kruger, a native of Little Falls, Minnesota, and a daughter of German parents long settled in this state. Mrs. Boettcher was a dressmaker before her marriage and worked in St. Paul the most of the time. She was reared and educated in Sherburne county on a farm and is now the mother of two children: Leona, who was born February 16, 1900, and Walter, who was born March 27, 1901. Previous to his marriage Mr. Boettcher bought a piece of land from his father, ninety-seven acres in all, and for some time was engaged in clearing it and bring it under cultivation. He has a house, sheds and fourteen acres under cultivation. Immediately following his marriage Mr. Boettcher secured a position as clerk with Gouldberg & Anderson at Cambridge, with whom he remained two years. In the spring of 1901 he bought the Central Hotel at Isanti which he opened for business May 7 of that year. The building is new, having been completed in the fall of the previous year, and has already gained a good name with the traveling public as the leading hotel of the place. Mr. Boettcher takes an independent stand in politics, but favors the Republican party. He was among the first white children born in Bradford township and in his youth was a great hunter, having a game range now almost impossible to find within the limits of the United States. Along with the very serious hardships of frontier life for a robust and healthy lad, there was much to compensate and make life worthy living, skating, hunting, fishing, sleighing, parties, and much to make the passing days bright and joyous. | | BOETTCHER | HENRY REV. | BIOGRAPHY | | BOOK - HISTORY OF THE MINNESOTA VALLEY, PUBLISHED IN 1882.

Boettcher, Rev. Henry. Rev. Henry Boettcher was born January 1, 1834, in Brunswick, Germany. At the age of eleven years he came to America with his parents. Spent ten years in Missouri and settled in LeSueur in 1855 where for five years he gave attention to general merchandising. In 1861 he entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Boettcher has been located in Rochester, Red Wing, Salem, Washington circuit, Minneapolis and St. Paul, and is now presiding elder of the Mankato district at LeSueur. His mother, aged seventy-seven years, and his father, aged eighty, are living with him, and have long since celebrated their golden wedding.

DEATH OF CHAS. BOETTCHER
The people of Janesville were shocked when yesterday morning the death of Chas. Boettcher was announced. He passed away at the Immanuel Hospital, Mankato, following an operation for cancer.
The announcement of this sudden death is all the more painful from the fact that but few people, comparatively, were aware of Mr. Boettcher’s illness. In fact it is stated that his own immediate family were unaware of his trouble. His general health had seemed to be fair so far, as appearance might indicate. Up to within about three weeks ago he mingled with his friends and appeared daily on our streets. No one was aware of the serious nature of his ailment.
It develops that for many months Mr. Boettcher has been afflicted with a malignant growth that was diagnosed as cancer. It was hoped that when he submitted to the ordeal of an operation that it would prove effective in restoring his health. But it was too deep seated and with a lingering few weeks he gradually weakened until the end came/
Mr. Boettcher was a man well known and highly respected. Until within a year or two he resided in the township of Freedom when he moved to this place. He was the son of Mr. Herman Boettcher who survives him. He is also survived by his wife and two children who have the sincere sympathy of the community in their affliction, a sympathy in which the ARGUS joins to its fullest meaning.
Mr. Boettcher was born on May 6, 1880 and was 35 years, 8 months and 25 days old. At the age of 23 he was married to Miss Clara Miller who died in 1906. In the year 1907 he was married a second time to Miss Amelia Krumheueur. Two children, Garrherd and Elsie were born to this union. As noted above he is survived by his wife and children, his father and step mother, four sisters, Mrs. Adeline Kopischke, of Freedom, Mrs. Ida Brandenberg, of Freedom, Mrs. Emil Draeger, of Hanley, Mont., and Miss Emma, of this place; also by two half sisters, the Misses Alma and Agnes and a half brother, Herman, also of this place.
The funeral will be conducted on Friday from the family resident at one o’clock and at the Trinity German Luther Church at one-thirty, Rev. M. Winter, officiating. The sermon will be in English. The remains will be interred in the Janesville cemetery.
