    I have always wondered why Russell (or the Watch Tower, which was controlled by Russell at the time) would want to for a Cemeteries corporation. What would that have to do with the Dawn of the Millennial Reign of Christ?

    J.A. Bohnet was also one of seven persons voted in to replace the ex-board of directors ousted by Judge Rutherford, during the regime change after C.T. Russell's death.

    From: THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1913, page 2.

    Article: "RUSSELL IN COURT AS LAWYER SUMS UP"

    "...Mr. Oeland then read letters from "Brother" Bohnet, showing that he thought the wheat might survive "the time of trouble," and thus sustain the elect after the expected catastrophe of 1914 has blown over."

    Ex-Judge Isaac R. Oeland was the counsel for The Eagle defending them against the charge of libel made by Charles T. Russell.
