He has been a farmer all his active life, and after commencing on his own account lived and farmed in Armstrong township, this county, for a period of sixteen year, owning sixty-five acres there. In 1908 he returned to his father's farm in Center township, where he is now successfully engaged in farming and stock raising. Like his father Mr. BOTHEL has always been a Republican in his political principles, but is independent when it comes to choosing candidates for any office. While living in Armstrong township he served his fellow citizens for six years in the office of school director, and was secretary of the board during that time. He is particularly interested in church work, being a leading member of the United Presbyterian Church, which he has served in an official capacity for many years, having been elder, trustee, Sunday school teacher and superintendent. Mr. BOTHEL was married in December, 1890, to Lottie CARNAHAN, of Armstrong township, this country, daughter of David and Levinia (BERKEBILE) CARNAHAN, and four children were born to them: Florence (who is now the wife of William ANTHONY, and has one daughter, Edith M.), Esther, Levinia and Bessie. Mrs. BOTHEL died Jan 13, 1906, and is buried in Greenwood cemetery, at Indiana. This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/pafiles/ File size: 2.0 Kb
