Notes

A TRIBUTE TO MATTIE (JAHN) RABE Mattie Jahn was the daughter of Carl and Bertha (Krause) Jahn. She was born August 2, 1893, in Hanover Township, Crawford County, Iowa. Her father was born in Pomern, Germany, received his education and spent his youth in his homeland. He learned the trade of bricklayer before coming to the United States and to Chicago when a young man. Her mother was born in Berlin and also received her education in Germany. She and a sister left Germany and came to America, locating in Chicago where two of her sisters had already settled. She found employment there assisting with housework in various homes. After their marriage Carl and Bertha resided in Chicago. About 1884, they came to Crawford County and located on a farm in Hanover Township. They remained on this farm until they retired and came to Charter Oak to live until their passing. Mattie (Jahn) Rabe attended the rural school in Hanover Township, having to walk four miles each day to and from school. She also attended St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Hanover Township and was confirmed there. Most of her youth was spent at the homes of her sisters, helping with the housework and taking care of the children. On March 14, 1913, she was married to Albert Rabe at St. John's Lutheran Church in Charter Oak. They were the parents of five children: Martin (deceased), Ernest of Kansas City, Missouri; Adeline Woock of Sioux City, Iowa; Bernard of Highland, California; and [ Vernon of Sioux City. There are 13 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren. After their marriage they lived on a farm, four miles east of Charter Oak, later moving to Charter Oak. After coming to town, Mattie worked in a restaurant as well as a store. She also assisted in caring for the aged and ill in their homes. During World War II, she served the Charter Oak exchange as night operator. She continued as the switchboard operator until Charter Oak changed its telephone system to dial. Her duty as a telephone operator, with an exchange of approximately 325 subscribers, was not only answering their calls, but tracing calls, calling officers, locating a doctor in an emergency, and notifying firemen of a fire. When time permitted, between raising her family and working, Mattie liked to indulge in her hobbies of crocheting, gardening, and working with flowers. Mattie (Jahn) Rabe was honored on her 86th birthday, with an Open House on August 26, 1979, at the Charter Oak Community Building. The event was hosted by her children, and was attended by numerous friends and relatives. Mattie resided at Eventide Lutheran Home for the Aged in Denison, Iowa, for a number of years before her death on February 1, 1986.
