BERNARD H. VON BODEN and GEORGE B. VON BODEN

From: "CHARLIE HOPKINS" TWINCOACH@AOL.COM

Looking for information on the following SPCo. men:

MR. BERNARD H. VON BODEN, Foreman MOTIVE POWER DEPT.

MR. GEORGE B. VON BODEN, Fuel expert SPCo.

both men lived in SAN JOSE and worked in San Francisco before 1900.

When I was working steam I remember working on fuel oil burners on locomotives made of brass with the name VON BODEN cast on top

Anyone know the history?
