July 1, 1921 — March 14, 2013
Theodore Carl Bohling was born July 1, 1921 on the family farm near Auburn, Nebraska. The youngest of ten children of Henry A. and Anna M. (Gebers) Bohling, Ted was baptized July 24, 1921 by Rev. Streng and confirmed June 9, 1935 by Rev. Wiebke, both ceremonies occurring at St. Paul Lutheran (Hickory Grove) Church near Auburn. He received his formal education at Hickory Grove School near his home.
On November 4, 1951 Theodore was united in marriage to Doloris Haack at Martin Luther Lutheran Church south of Johnson, Nebraska by Rev. Freuhling. They made their home on the farm where Ted was born, and were blessed with two children, Joyce and Arlen.

When his children were young, Ted was active in 4-H projects with them. He also served on the Hickory Grove School Board. In his idle time he enjoyed reading, whether it be the newspaper or books he acquired.
