 | | Martin Boehm, son of a Swiss immigrant, was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, November 30, 1725. |
 | | Bishop Boehm died March 12, 1812, at the advanced age of eighty-six years. |
 | | Doctor Drury speaks of Martin Boehm as "a short, stout man, with a vigorous constitution, an intellectual countenance, and a fine flowing beard, which gave him in his later years a patriarchal appearance." Boehm was always plain and simple in costume, and seems never to have discarded the severely plain attire of the Mennonites. |
