Betty Jean (Hahn) Bohling, one of two children of Elmer J. and Frieda (Goering) Hahn, was born October 7, 1928, on the family farm north of Johnson. Betty was baptized in November of 1928 and confirmed in 1942, both in Talmage by Rev. Seybold. Betty also attended school in Talmage and graduated with the class of 1946 from Talmage High School.
On March 30, 1948, Betty was united in marriage to Rudolph Bohling at Johnson. The couple would be blessed with four children: Gailen, Lonny, Robbie, and Larinda.
