John Bos II Part 4, 1880s John Bos II mini-pedigree from Ancestry.com 1880 24 March 1880, age 25 Birth of son Christian His son Christian Johannes Bos was born on 24 March 1880 in Arnhem, Gelderland, Netherlands. This was his second of eight children born. He would immigrate with his parents, marry Francine Kaufers or Kamps or Kemps. He must have moved his family with his parents because he died in Island County Washington in 1946. He has never fought in any war according to the 1930 census, although there is a WWII draft card with his signature on it (bonus points). Perhaps I am wrong in assuming he met and married Frances in Montana. Nope, I was wrong. I found a marriage certificate showing they were married 1905 in King, Washington. By the 1940 census, he was a gas station attendant at his son Charles' station.
