Death of T. Raph [Rath]
Mr. T. Raph, of Davenport, Iowa, died at the Anderson hospital in this city Saturday morning. He had been here about three weeks representing a brewery of his city. Two weeks ago he was taken sick at the Orleans where he was stopping and his condition grew so bad that he was taken to the hospital, but he failed to rally. He was forty-six years of age. His wife [Wilhelmine Mundt] and son were at his bedside when the end came and Saturday evening they accompanied the remains to Davenport, where they were interred.
