Surviving him are five children, Rufus, of Haines City, Florida; Joseph of White Cloud, Mich; Clyde, at whose home he died; Mertle (Mrs Clayton M Enders) of Wakarusa; and Elva of North Liberty; and one sister, Mrs Elizabeth Miller of Elkhart.

iii.  ANNA MARGARETHA "MAGGIE" BOSSE was born on 18 Aug 1854 in Baltimore City, Maryland, USA. She died on 04 Jan 1923 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA.

She married George Cline on 16 Aug 1881 in Elkhart IN. She was born in Maryland and both of her parents were from Germany.

According to the 1900 Census, Geor.ge J Cline was an inventor that was born in the state of New York.

The 1900 Census indicates he had two daughters.

Mary A. Cline was born in 1873 in Indiana, her father was born in New York, and her mother was born in Ireland.

Anna Frances Cline was born in 1880 in Indiana, her father was born in New York, and her mother was born in Ireland.

The 1900 Census also indicates that Margaret Bosse gave birth to 4 children and none were alive at the time of the 1900 Census. This leads to the conclusion that Margaret Bosse was the step-mother of Mary A & Anna Frances Cline.

The 1910 Census in Chicago, Illinois shows Margaret Cline is a widow living with a widowed step-daughter named Anna Tennis who was born in Indiana in 1880. Anna's husband is Henry J. "Harry" Tennis.

The 1920 Census in Chicago, Illinois indicates that Margaret Bosse is a widow living with Victor Trudeau and his wife Anna Frances Cline Tennis Trudeau.

The 1920 Census indicates that Anna's mother was born in Ireland, also.

It appears that Margaret Bosse Cline is not the biological mother of either Mary A Cline or Anna Frances Cline Tennis Trudeau and produced no live children of here own.

It is believed that she is buried in an unmarked grave beside her parents in the Goshen family burial plot.

vii.  BERNARD JOHN BENJAMIN "Ben" BOSSE was born on 21 Jul 1863 in Goshen (Elkhart County), Elkhart County, Indiana, USA.  He died ?  He married ANNA KRUPP.

There is no headstone for Ben in the Bosse burial plot in Goshen.  He was last known to be living in Chicago Illinois and no one knows when he died or where he is buried.  

When Ben was 21 years old he was convicted of being involved in a homicide involving his gun being fired by another during a demonstration.  He was sentenced to 21 years but his sentence was commuted in 1890 when he was 27 years old.  The below clippings report the incident and subsequent court proceedings.
