Herman H. Bosse, one of the most prominent citizens of Columbus, passed away at 4:40 o'clock this morning at the family home on east Fourth street. Mr. Bosse had been in poor health since last fall and complained of rheumatism. Later he became a victim of dropsy. His heart became affected and caused his death. He had been confined to his bed for eight weeks before his death.
Herman H. Bosse was born in Hanover, Germany, March 9, 1837, and at the time of his death he was sixty-four years, four months and eighteen days old. In 1853 he left his mother country with his parents who settled in Cincinnati, O. Six years later, he came to Columbus and until his death this city was his home.
On September 27, 1860, he was united in marriage to Miss Rachel Bageholtz and to this union were born four children, all of whom survive: Mrs. James E. Thompson, Mrs. John M. Schaefer, George F. Bosse and Ed Bosse.
Mr. Bosse learned the trade of wood turning in Cincinnati and followed up that work a greater part of his residence in this city. In 1875 he went into business in the old Brinkley furniture factory under the firm name of W. O. Hogue & Co. In 1878 he and William Brinkley bought out this firm and continued the business under the firm name of Brinkley & Bosse until the year of 1888.
Mr. Bosse was a staunch democrat and was always an active worker and ardent supporter of his party. He creditably served two terms as councilman from the Fourth ward and was water works superintendent and trustee one term. From 1889 to 1891 he served as county treasurer which office he held with credit to himself as well as the public. He ran for the same office in 1900 but was defeated by a very narrow margin.
He was a member of the local lodge of Odd Fellows and that fraternity will have charge of his funeral, which occurs Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence. Services will be conducted by Rev. Sigmund and interment will be made in Garland Brook.
