Misc. Notes
From David F Wilcox Quincey and Adams County History and Representative Men
(Henry Bockhold).
Bernard Bockhold, a native of Germany, came to the United States at the age of twenty-two. In Germany he had become an expert in the manufacture of the wooden shoes which were the regular article of footwear in the low countries of Germany. After coming to Adams County he manufactured many pairs of these shoes for his neighbors. His chief employment, however, was cutting wood in the distilleries at Quincy.
About 1875 Bernard Bockhold bought the present homestead owned by his son Henry. This comprised nine-one acres and is two and a half miles distant from the former residence of Bernard Bockhold. He went in debt about $5,000 when he bought it. It was the old Odo Bishop farm, at that time belonging to David Bishop. In 1884 Bernard Bockhold returned to his former homestead. His wife had died about ten years after their marriage, leaving four children. For his second wife, he married Christina Vogeding. She died at the old homestead, and her husband then spent his last years among his children, passing away in 1895, at the age of seventy-five. He was a democrat and an active member of St. Anthony's Catholic Church.
