Henry Boder was born in Switzerland, September 6, 1805, and came to
this country in 1834, and settled in Mount Eaton, Ohio, and remained
there for six years, working at his trade as carpenter and bridge
builder.  He went to New Orleans for several months, then to St. Louis,
Missouri, where he remained for four years, and then came to this city
