John Bohn

John L. Bohn (August 2, 1872 – 1955) was an American politician who served as mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from 1942 to 1948.

John Bohn was president of Milwaukee's Common Council when Mayor Carl Zeidler resigned in 1942 to serve in the U.S. Navy and was lost at sea later in 1942 while serving in World War II; Bohn became acting mayor after Zeidler's resignation. In 1944 Bohn was elected to a full mayoral term. In 1948, he was succeeded by Frank Zeidler, Carl Zeidler's brother.

    “The person who designed a robot that could act and think as well as your four-year-old would deserve a Nobel Prize. But there is no public recognition for bringing up several truly human beings.”
