Comment: | Colonel Radivoje Bojović, who later became Minister of Military Affairs, was the son of Colonel Todor Bojević (1830–1872) and Jelena Tadić. Jelena Tadić was the daughter of Boško Tadić (1793–1852) and Staka (Naka) Stanković (1820–1902), who became famous under the nickname Baba-Staka. Radivoje's sister Ljubica married the famous voivode Radomir Putnik. Their mother, Jelena Tadić, married Đorđe S. Simić after their father's death. Simić's first wife, Julka Pržić, had also died childless in 1872. Radivoje married Bosiljka Horstig and had two daughters with her, Marta and Jelena. Bosiljka, Kosta and Zorka Horstig are the children of Paul von Horstig (Pavle Horstig), who moved to Serbia after the Franco–Prussian War. There he became a representative of Krupp and was allegedly also one of the founders of freemasonry in Serbia. |
