For more than sixty years Charles RABEDEW has been a
resident of this section of Colorado, most of that time in Eagle county. Born in Harvard,
Ill., February 7, 1868 [sic. 1858], he came to Colorado when a young man, first to Leadville, then to
Battle Mountain, living for a short while in Grand Junction, and for nearly 40 years has
been a constant resident of Minturn and vicinity. While past 81 years of age, he had been active in the affairs of life until a few weeks ago,
when he was stricken with paralysis, and has since been bedridden, passing away
November 7, at the home of Mrs. George PRIEST in Eagle.
There survives him two brothers, Theodore and George, of Minturn, the former being
past 92 years of age; and several nieces.
Funeral services were held from the Methodist church in Eagle Thursday afternoon, in
charge of Mortician Paul ANDRE, with Rev. W. S. CASSELMAN delivering the funeral
discourse. The body was laid to rest in the Edwards cemetery, where beloved ones who
passed before had been interred.
