Bro., is a native of Germany, born November 24, 1865.  He is the son of
Lazarus and Therese (Mendelbaum) Bodenheimer, both natives of Germany.  Philip
Bodenbeimer was reared in his native country, and at the age of five entered
school, attending constantly until he had attained the age of sixteen years,
when he left school and engaged as a clerk in a factory, in which he served
for two years.  Later he became traveling agent for this factory, and was
employed in this capacity for a similar length of time.  In 1884 he removed to
New Orleans, where he was located for a period of five months.  In 1885 he
removed to Glencoe, St. Mary parish, and has since conducted successfully at
that place a large mercantile business.  Mr. Bodenheimer is a shrewd manager,
and his business is continually growing.  The firm carries a stock of about
eight to ten thousand dollars, and does an annual business of forty thousand
dollars.  The firm is conducted in partnership with Mrs. B. Bodenheimer, under
the firm name of Bodenheimer & Bro.
