Nathan Hugh Boehmer

Obituary

Nathan Hugh Boehmer, 98, passed away Wednesday Morning, October 22, 2014, at a local hospital. He was born February 12, 1916 to the Reverend E. J. Boehmer and Millie Pearl Odom Boehmer. As a young boy Hugh took music lessons and learned to sing and play the trumpet. He has always enjoyed listening to and singing gospel music. Even in his eighties and nineties he participated in the Senior Citizens' programs, namely, the "Roaring Fifties". He will surely be missed by all.

In January of 1943 Hugh enlisted in the military service and was soon in the United States Air Force during World War II. He trained and served as an aviation mechanic and was stationed in India for most of the war. After the war he was employed by Hardwick Stove as a foreman. During this time he took up golf and was quite an avid golfer. Besides his father and mother, he was preceded in death by his wife, Emma Jean Ledbetter Boehmer of 57 years; brothers: Flavius Boehmer and Grady Boehmer; sister: Macon Marie Boehmer. Hugh is survived by his sisters: Melba Caylor, Gelene Tribble (Stanley), Lois Sherlin, Montez Ellison and Thelma Hall; brother: Eldron Boehmer, Sr. (Jeannie); and a host of nieces, and nephews and loved ones.

The service will be held in the Dixon Chapel of North Cleveland Church of God Friday, October 24, 2014, at 12:00 noon with Richard Anderson, Robert Varner, and Cy Harris officiating. Interment will follow at Sunset Memorial Gardens with a white dove release ceremony concluding the service. The family will receive friends from 10:00am-12:00pm at the church prior to the service on Friday.
