To this happy union were born two daughters, Ruby and Esther, and a son Carl. In 1914 the family moved to a farm four miles northwest of Oelwein. Here Mr. and Mrs. Rohrig lived until February 19?? (unreadable), when they retired from the farm and moved to the house of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Webb, southwest of the city. There they lived until last November, when, because of the ill health of both, they went to live with their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. George Buenneke, at Maynard, Iowa. Mr. Rohrig's health gradually failed since last November and on June 30 of this year he was taken to Mercy Hospital, Oelwein.
