The remains of Mrs. Boehmer were interred at Evergreen cemetery here on Monday. She was, before her marriage, Miss Carrie Schley of Prairie View. Her husband is a brother-in-law and partner in business of Lee Brown, son of Mrs. Darwin Brown. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. August Boehmer of Wheaton and formaerly a resident of Barrington. He is left with two young children, both of whom and the father are ill with the disease which took the mother.
