Herman Frederick Krahn was born June 14, 1874, in Rock Township, Mitchell County, Iowa. He was the son of Frederick Krahn and Amelia nee Talzmann [or more likely Salzmann].

He was in the hospital for a time. Then in the Good Samaritan Home in Mason City, and on may 8, was taken to the Baldner Rest Home, Adams, Minnesota where he was until his death which came at 2:30 P.M.
