Genealogy Research Notes: This is Mathilda Timmerman and her husband Philip Rahn. The 1880 census for Chicago, Cook County Illinois shows the Timmerman family as:
  • Henry Timmermann, 30, born Germany, tailor.
  • Dorothea, 25 born Germany. [My research shows that Dorothea Timmerman died 17 July 1892 in Chicago, age 37]
  • Augusta, 6 born Illinois
  • Bertha, 4, born Illinois
  • Mathilda, 2, born Illinois
The 1900 census for Chicago, Cook County Illinois shows the Rahn family as:
  • Philip Rahn, 24, born September 1875 Germany. He immigrated to America in 1891 and married in 1899
  • Mathilda, 22, born Febuary 1878 Illinois
The 1920 census for Chicago Cook County shows Philip Rahn, 44, Mathilda, 42 and daughter Irene age 16. The 1930 census for Chicago Illinois shows Mathilda W. Rahn as head of the house (no Philip Rahn)
