There are a number of the best and most substantial citizens of the county who have been born in Germany, and still a larger number whose parents were natives of the fatherland. A large majority of the German population of the county is engaged in farming and there are no more efficient farmers in the county than are these sons of Germany. Among the Germans who came to this country and started in with practically nothing, there is no one who has attained to a more pronounced prosperity than has Henry Rabe, who is now the proprietor of fine farming lands in Richland township. Henry Rabe, the son of Henry and Louisa (Wegner) Rabe, was born September 21, 1865, in Neuschstadt, Riebenbacsh, Germany. His parents came to this country in 1874 and, after stopping temporarily in Chicago, they settled in Sac county, Iowa, in the spring of 1875, on the place where the son is now living. They purchased one hundred and sixty acres, forty of whis was railroad land, for which they paid seven and eight dollars and acre. On this they erected a frame house, eighteen by twenty-four in size, building it out of lumber which they brought from Chicago with them. Henry Rabe, Sr., died the followin year, in February, 1876, leaving his widow and five children: Henry, whose history forms the theme of this narrative; Mrs. Louisa Reuber, of Odebolt; Ferdinand, deceased; William, a farmer of Richland township, and Wilhelmina, deceased. A few years after the death of Mr. Rabe, his widow married August Dannenberg, of Odebolt, and now lives in that city.Henry Rabe received most of his schooling in Germany and, although he was only eleven years of age at the time of his father's death, yet he manfully shared the responsibility of caring for his mother and the younger children of the family. Upon reaching his majority he purched the home farm, in section 8, which his mother purchased after the father's death, and added another eighty in section 9 to this, making him a total of one hundred and forty acres of land, which is now easily worth two hundred and fifty dollars an acre. He has a fine farm home, which is modern in every respect, has twelve rooms and is so constructed as to render it a very attractive home. In 1911 Mr. Rabe added to his land holdings by purchasing three hundred and twenty acres in sections 3 and 4, in this township, and with his five hundred and sixty acres of land he raises a large amount of livestock each year, and averages at least once car load of cattle yearly. He has shipped as many as four car loads of hogs annually. Rabe was married on February 3, 1889 to Mary Hausman, a native of Illinois, and the daughter of Conrad Hausman, an early settler of Sac county, Iowa. To this marriage there have been born five children, Louie, Alfred, Rosina, Louisa and Ralph; all of these children are still under the parental roof except Alfred, who is operating a farm in Richland township. Politically, Mr. Rabe is independent in politics, preferring to cast his ballot for men and their principles rather than for party and its emblems. He and his family are loyal members of the Lutheran church and render it their zealous and earnest support.Birth: 21 SEP 1865 in Neuschstadt, Riebenbacsh,(Neustadt, Rubenberg) Germany Death: 16 SEP 1945 in Odebolt, Sac County, Iowa Father: Johann Jurgen Heinrich Rabe b: 1 NOV 1844 in Eilvese, Hanover Province, Germany Mother: Louisa Marie Wegener b: 28 DEC 1847 in Eilvese, Hanover Province, Germany Marriage 1 Mary Hausman b: 24 DEC 1867 in Will County, Illinois Married: 3 FEB 1889 Children Louis Henry Rabe b: 31 JUL 1889 in Odebolt, Sac County, Iowa Alfred Henry Rabe b: 7 DEC 1890 in Sac County, Iowa Rosina Katherine Rabe b: 20 MAY 1893 Louise Elvina Rabe b: 29 AUG 1895 in Odebolt, Sac County, Iowa Ralph Rabe b: 15 JUN 1897 in Richland Township, Sac County, Iowa
