Harry J. Bohler was one of the Norwegian Sailors who cured in Saranac Lake during World War II. He went to sea in 1939 as oiler and sailed in allied service until he became ill and came to Saranac Lake. Unfortunately, no "Report of a Case of Tuberculosis" card was found for him in the Adirondack Collection of the Saranac Lake Free Library. He died here and is buried in Pine Ridge Cemetery with the other Norwegian sailors. He cured at Sageman Cottage.
