Death of Mr. Ernest Behm It was the wish of The Master over life and death to call from this time to eternal life our dear old settler, Mr. Ernest Behm, from West Bloomfield. The deceased died quite suddenly and unexpectedly early Friday morning, after he had arisen, and had helped with the morning chores. He was born on February 13, 1841, in Clampnor, Pomerania, Germany. As a young man, he came to Bloomfield. Later he married Ernestine Handrich. The young couple, through their hard work, turned a piece of ancient forest into a blooming homestead. There were four children from this marriage, 2 sons and 2 daughters. One of the sons preceded his father in death 15 years ago. The deceased leaves behind, besides these three children, his deeply grieving widow. The son, Albert Behm, lives on the old homestead. One daughter is Mrs. Carl Tesch in Bloomfield, the other is Mrs. Ernest Mittelstadt in Snohomisch, Washington. His brothers and sisters all died long before him. The services took place last Sunday at 1:30 PM in the funeral parlor. Later, when the funeral cortege had arrived at the West Bloomfield Church, Pastor Neumann gave a very lovely and heart-rending homily. A great many grieving people had come to the church, for the deceased had been for many years on the district council and had made many friends. He was interred at the West Bloomfield Community Cemetery. Present at the gravesight of Mr. Behm from here were Mr. Friedrich Schoenick, Carl Herzfeldt and wife, Daniel Thiel and wife, Herman Beckman and wife, Carl Ziehl and wife, Mr. Denninger and John Herzfeldt. May his ashes rest in peace The German Chronik expresses its condolence. [Buried Concordia Cemetery]
