"RUDODPH BOEHMER.

Mr. Boehmer is successfully engaged in business at Mount Kisco, as a
wholesale dealer in bottled beer, soda water and bottled goods in general.
The business was established by his father, Rudolph Boehmer, St., in 1871,
and by handling the best goods and by fair and honorable dealings with their
many patrons, the firm succeeded in building up a large and profitable busi-
ness, giving employment to several men in the different branches of the trade.
The present proprietor has practically grown up in the business, early
becoming familiar with every department of the same, and his extensive
acquaintance throughout Westchester and Putnam counties is of much bene-
fit to him in a business way.

Rudolph Boehmer, Sr., was a native of Germany and belonged to a
highly respected family of that country. There he was reared and educated
and also served an apprenticeship at the barber's trade. At the age of nine-
teen years he crossed the Atlantic, landing in New York city, and for some
time he lived in Brooklyn, where he worked at his trade, but in 1865 he came
to Mount Kisco, Westchester county. Five years later he embarked in the
bottled-beer business, which he successfully carried on until his death. In
his political affiliations he was a Democrat.



WESTCHESTER COUNTY. 333

He married Miss Elizabeth Betz, who is still living, and to them were
born six children, one of whom is deceased. The others are Anna; Lizzie,
wife of Frank Sutton, of Mount Kisco; Christina, wife of James O'Neil, of
New York city; Fred, a prominent and popular hotel man of Brewster, New
York; and Rudolph, our subject.

The last named was reared and educated in Mount Kisco, and has sup-
plemented the knowledge acquired in the school-room by business experience
and by extensive travel in different parts of the United States. He is an
active and zealous worker in the ranks of the Democracy, is a genial, pleas-
ant gentleman, honorable in business and true to his friends." Full text of "Biographical history of Westchester County, New York.."
