Biography
Jacob Conrad, known as Conrad in the German tradition, was born 11 March 1850 in North Adelaide at the Bohlmann's Union Street residence. He was baptised Jakob Conrad by Pastor Andreas Kappler at North Adelaide, probably in the Bohlmann's house.
Little is known about Conrad. It is likely he attended the Christ Church School in North Adelaide. By the age of 25, he was working as a carter for Richard Honey, a timber merchant at Port Adelaide, although whether this was on a contract basis or regular employment is unknown. In 1875, he was required to give evidence against his foreman, James Ramsey, who was accused of stealing old planks from the Semaphore Jetty while Honey's timeberyard was contracted to remove and replace worn boards.
On the 15th of June 1880, Conrad was admitted to the Adelaide Hospital with severe abdominal pain, and died the next day on the 16th, with a cause of death stated as peritonitis. At the time of his admission he was living in Finniss Street, North Adelaide and working as a labourer.
Family
Conrad had siblings and half-siblings from both of his father Johann Bohlmann's marriages, however the first two children, Franz Carl and Anna Louisa, born died before he was born, and he outlived his elder brother Johann and his sister Gesina, the next child after him.
