7 Mar 1910: Death on Sunday afternoon, at ten minutes to three o'clock, claimed Adam L. Bohn, of 530 Lehman Street, one of the best known citizens of the northern section of the city. Although he had arrived at the age of 72 years and had been ill for several days, his death was entirely unexpected and came as a severe shock to the members of his family and friends. On Thursday Mr. Bohn had been suffering with a severe cold and had remained in the house all day. Towards evening he did not seem to be better and by next morning he was so ill that he did not feel equal to the effort needed to arise. The cold later developed into pneumonia and an inflammation of the internal organs, which caused his death. Death was peaceful and Mr. Bohn died surrounded by his wife and his only daughter, Mrs. Morris Schaeffer. Adam Livingood Bohn was born September 14, 1837, in Oley Township, Berks County, and spent the days of his young manhood there. Later he moved to Wernersville, where for the period of twenty years he was employed as flagman in the Philadelphia and Reading railroad company's telegraph tower. Twenty-one years ago, he moved to Lebanon and was assigned the post of watchman at the Seventh street railroad crossing. Two years ago, Mr. Bohn was placed on the P&R pension list for having been continuously in the company's service for forty years. He was a member of St. Mark's Reformed Church and of the Bible class and was also a member of the Philadelphia and Reading Veteran Employees Association. Perhaps Mr. Bohn became best known to Lebanonians in his capacity as the Seventh Street crossing watchman. This is a position of responsibility, as the tracks there are numerous and must be closely watched. Although he had been unfortunate enough to lose his right arm in an accident, he nevertheless performed creditable service. Nearly ten years ago he saved the life of Rev. P.C. Croll, former pastor of Seventh Street Lutheran Church, and was instrumental in preventing many serious accidents. A regrettable accident, for which he was in no wise responsible, was the death at the crossing of one of his best friends, Edward Arnold, who was struck down by a passing train. This untoward occurrence so affected him that he never fully recovered from the grief which he manifested at the time. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Matilda Steely, of Lower Heidelberg Township, Berks county, and the last surviving daughter of seven children, Mrs. Laura, wife of Morris Schaeffer, who resided with her parents; two brothers, James Bohn, of Pleasantville, Berks County and John Bohn, of Reading. Mrs. Sarah Marks, of Reading, is a half-sister, and Emanuel and Zacharias Bush, all of Reading, are half-brothers. Although a man of few words Mr. Bohn was a sincere friend and was admired and loved by a wide circle of friends. His uncomplaining attitude during his illness was admired and loved by a wide circle of friends. His uncomplaining attitude during his illness was a source of deep sorrow on the part of his relatives and further endeared him to their hearts. [Lebanon Daily News]
