                   Pauline Bohe's maiden name was Zaepfel, Anglicized to Zaffle
after immigrating with her father.
Reference:  Passport, dated 19 Dec 1853 in Baden Baden, Germany
for Martin Zaepfel (age 57) and daughter Paulina Zaepfel (age 17,
so born in 1836).  Martin was a widower. Passport lists Pauline's
birthplace as Haueneberstein (now a suburb of Baden Baden, 5 miles
north of the west end of Baden Baden).  She had blonde hair, blue
eyes, height 5'1".

From the envelope of the pass, the route of travel was from the
port of Le Havre, France to Great Britain and then to the port
of New Orleans.  (Copy of the pass was obtained from Harry Bryan,
from a letter his brother Carl wrote in 1971; we do not have a
copy of the envelope.)  Carl wrote that his mother said her
mother (Pauline) was educated in a convent.
Pauline and her father (Martin) and brother (Anton) and his wife
(Stevannes) arrived in New Orleans on Feb. 17, 1854.  (Ref:
microfilm passenger list, found by Jan Cozad).
1860 Census:  Birthplace was Baden, Germany.  Listed as age 23
(so born in 1836, which confirms the passport).

1900 Census:  Claims she was born in June, 1834 (not 1836), and
emigrated from Germany in 1854.  On 1900 Census, Pauline stated
she had had 9(?) children.  At the time, Pauline lived with her
daughter Pauline (Bohe) Bryan and her family in Pocatello, Idaho.

Letter from Bert Bohe (c.1951) says she died in 1904 and that she
is buried along with Ignatius in the Ottumwa Cemetery.  Article in
the "Ottumwa Courier" (Tuesday, Oct 11, 1904) reports that Pauline
died on Sunday in Pocatello, ID, and "the remains will be brought
to Ottumwa for interment."
