Julius Mohr, son of Fredericka (Stoecker) and Gottfried Mohr, was born October 6, 1911 on their farm in Blaine TWSHP, McPherson Co, 12 miles NE of Hosmer. This is where he was raised and attended Blaine TWSHP #2 Rural School. His schooling ended in the 7th grade, when he was needed at home to help his mother. He married Magdalena Guthmiller at Jehovah Lutheran Church NE of Hosmer on September 27, 1936. They lived on the farm until 1964, when they moved into Hosmer where Julius took a job with his brother at Jake Mohr and Sons Construction. At age 65, he retired and worked part-time briefly at the Hosmer Lumber Company. He and Magdalena also were janitors at St. John’s Lutheran Church for nine years. Since August 2004, Julius had lived at the Hosmer Senior Citizens Home. He belonged to Jehovah Lutheran Church until it dissolved in 1957. Since that time he had belonged to St. John’s Church in Hosmer. He also belonged to the Hosmer Senior Citizens Center. Fishing was Julius’s favorite pastime. He also enjoyed playing cards and, as a younger man, bowling.
