Taps Sounds for Respected Citizen

Thomas J. Radabah, respected resident of this locality for many years passed away quite suddenly last Thursday while visiting at the home of relatives at Sand Point, Ida. The remains were brought to Kalispell in charge of Waggener and Campbell, funeral directors, and on Saturday afternoon funeral services were conducted at Fairview Chapel, Rev. Bates, Episcopal minister, officiating.
The deceased was born in Centre County, Pennsylvania, on April 10, 1843. On October 25, 1862 he enlisted as a private in Co. G., Sixth Iowa Cavalry at Colesburg, Iowa. After serving his country for 36 months he was honorably discharged on October 17, 1865, at Sioux City, Iowa. For several years he lived on a little farm east of this city, where his wife died, since which time he had made his home at the Montana Soldiers' Home, having entered that institution on September 23, 1919. His age was 81 years, 7 months and 9 days. Besides a number of near relatives living in this section and also near Earlville, Iowa, he leaves a host of friends who mourn the loss of one who had "charity for all and malice toward none."
