Description: Theodore Bost was born in 1834 in Carouges on the outskirts of Geneva and immigrated to New York in 1851, moving later to Minnesota. He married Sophie Bonjour in St. Paul in June 1858 after a two and one- half year courtship by correspondence. A sturdy pioneer family, the Bosts remained in Minnesota until 1887, when they moved to California. Other members of the family lived in Washington.
