Illness</font></strong></p><strong><p align="left"><br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Funeral services for Henry Rahman of Theilman were held from St Paul&#39;s Evangelical Church of Theilman at 2 o&#39;clock last Thursday afternoon. Rev. W. W. Bunge of Rochester officiating. Burial was in the church cemetery.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Mr. Rahman died at his home from cancer at 8 a.m. Tuesday, August 23, at the age of 76. He had been in failing health since two years ago when he sustained injuries in a fall from a horse.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Born at Belmont, Iowa, April 25, 1856. Henry came to Wabasha County by steamboat with his parents when he was two weeks old and landed at Reads. His father made a clearing in the forest near Dumfries and built a log cabin there, to which he moved his family.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; At the time, 76 years ago, Indians roamed the forest freely in this vicinity and the boy Henry grew accustom to the Red Man. As an old man he delighted in relating many exciting tales about the Indians and the hardship the pioneers endured. Later the Rahman family moved to Scotch Prairie where he grew to manhood.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; His marriage to Caroline McCracken was solemnized in this city February 6, 1879. They moved on a farm near Theilman after their marriage and resided there until his death.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; His widow survives him in addition to four daughters, Mrs. Gustav Neuman of Elgin, Mrs. Rudolph Rheingans of Theilman, Mrs. Henry Engel of Millville and Margaret, at home; two sons, William of Theilman and Henry of Millville; four brothers, Fred Rahman of Red Wing, George Rahman of Lake City, Fred Riester of Rochester and Edward Riester of Chippewa Falls; one sister, Mrs. Margaret Hellier of Washington, and 16 grandchildren. One daughter, Mary, who passed away in infancy, preceded him in death.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Pallbearers were Theodore Hampe, August Mischke, Charles Sommers, Robert Funke, A. A. Wilson and William Kottschade.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Out-of-town relatives and friends present at the funeral were: Fred Rahman of Red Wing; Joe Ramer, Charles Rother and Mrs. Peter Mathias of Wabasha; Mr. and Mrs. James McFarland, Mr. and Mrs. Archie McFarland, Roy McFarland, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Leibenow, Mr. and Mrs. W. Gerths and daughter, Leola, and Arnold Schroeder of Elgin; Fred Engels, Mrs. Joe Rahman and sons Edwin and Leo, and Sarah Rheingans of Millville; Mrs. Kuehn and daughters, George Rother, George Dickman and George Rahman of Plainview, and Mr.&nbsp;and Mrs. George Holst of Eyota.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Mr. Rahman was a member of that fast-disappearing race of sturdy pioneers who broke the soil of the early frontiers despite seemingly unsurmountable handicaps. Deep homage is due the memory of his valorous deeds.</p></strong>
