Notes for ABRAHAM S. BOMBERGER:

Abraham S. Bomberger acquired a farm and distillery in Schaefferstown, PA in 1860 from Elizabeth Shenk Kratzer, great-grand-daughter of John Shenk who distilled whiskey here in 1753.

In colonial days, whiskey was an important commodity often used for medicinal purposes. George Washington is said to have stopped at the distillery to pick up whiskey for his troops.

On the last day before the distillery closed down in 1919, customers came on that cold day to fill casks, bottles and tin cups and to drink their last rations of legal whiskey until Prohibition was repealed in 1933.

A company called Michter's acquired the property and made sour mash whiskey until they filed for bankruptcy in 1980. It was taken over by a bank after it foreclosed and is now owned by an unidentified group of Philadelphia area investors.

The Distillery was designated a National Historic Landmark by the Department of Interior, June 1980 and, at that time, was the oldest distillery site still operating in the United States.

Notes for PAUL ABRAHAM BOMBERGER:

Paul A. Bomberger studied classical piano when quite young and had his first recital before his legs were long enough to reach the pedals.

 

He was very quiet and quite shy. He lived on the farm where he was born, with his brother, Leon, and parents, in Schafferstown, PA. His father Horst H. Bomberger owned and ran the distillery (Abe Bomberger & Son Distillery) that made sour mash bourbon. When, Paul was about fifteen, his father had a stroke and was confined to a wheel chair. Paul was made to take care of his father more times than he cared to, and had little time for other things. At sixteen, he ran away from home, changed his name to Frank Smith and joined a circus. When he was old enough he joined the U. S. Army and eventually became the chauffeur for General Preston Brown in New York.

 

In 1925, he was impressed by the cook and housekeeper in the Brown household. Her name was Florentine Vernieuwe Kennedy. He brought Florentine and her son Donald home to Pennsylvania and introduced them to his family. Unfortunately he found out that his father had died after he had left home. He made peace with his mother and left the Army and married Florentine and tried to make a living in Lebanon, where I was born. After, unsuccessfully trying to make a life for he and his family, he rejoined the U.S. Army and was stationed at the Boston Army Base in Massachusetts for about 15 years.

 

On February 4, 1944, he and Florentine were divorced.

Paul married Charlotte Coburn, in Concord, N.H. They had one daughter, Barbara. They lived in Bow, a small town just outside of Concord until he died April 15, 1969.

Notes for PAUL ABRAHAM BOMBERGER, JR.:

Paul graduated from So. Boston High School, MA in 1946 and went to FL with his mother and younger brother. They settled in Pinellas Park. He worked for the Vinoy Hotel and Reddington Beach Motel til he joined the U.S. Army.

He was stationed at Fort Huachuca, Arizona in 1951.

When he came out of the Army, he went into the hotel business again. Did everything from busboy to catering and carving ice sculptures for dinner parties. He finally ended up as a manager for a hotel in New Orleans.

He married late in life, at 49, but the marriage did not work out too well. He drank heavy and became an alcholic which eventually led to his death at 51 years old.

Paul was a very personable, warm, friendly and artistic person.
