Procession over three miles long. John Henry Rohlwing was born at Schaumburg Center, Cook County, Illinois September 27, 1860. His parents were among the early, sturdy German settlers of Schaumburg. They lived many years on the OLD ROHLWING FARM in the Northwest part of town. They lived in Elgin a while, then started the store now owned by John Fenz and Son. John was confirmed at St Peter's church, then attended Elgin Academy. He married Miss Louisa Lichthardt June 2, 1881. He bought and settled on the COOPER FARM in west Elk Grove which has since been their home. They were blessed with nine children, Hendry died when four years old. The others survive. Emma (Mrs Fred Pfingsten, Alvina (Mrs. August Busse), Martha (Mrs Louis Oltendorf), all wives of prosperous farmers. Herman, William, Hermina, Anna and Hilda all still at home to comfort their bereaved mother. Mr Rohlwing, while planting corn May 25th accidentally scraped the skin of his left shin.. He thot (thought) nothing of it for two days but evidently caught cold in it which developed into a blood poison. He attended the Kastning-Clausing wedding May 27 and the next day while dragging, his leg pained so bad that he had to quit and called his family physician Dr. Black, who appreciating the serious case, called Dr Best in counsel and they inserted tubes to drain off the poison.. Dr Chislett, a specialist from Chicago was called three times; still the case grew worse and Saturday, June 12, in accord with Mr. Rohlwing's expressed wish, he was taken to Habnemann hospital where as a last resort the left leg was amputated about the knee that night; but the poison and operation were too much and he died at 11:30am June 13, 1909 aged 48 years, 8 months, 16 days. Mr Rohlwing had always been a strong healthy man, never sick abed and so his sudden taking off was a sad shock to a large circle of relatives and friends. He was well known as a busy man, honest and successful in business and highly respected by all who knew him. Mr Rohlwing was a large stockholder and director in Arlington Heights State Bank, the past seven years, and universally credited with good business sagacity.. He was also a valued member of Schaumburg Insurance Company for which he served several years as agent.. John Rohlwing was knows far and near for his generous hospitality. No worthy person or cause appealed to him without cheerful aid. He was kind and affectionate to his family and considerate to everybody. He was universally calm especially when he realized his earthly career was near its close. The funeral which took place Wednesday afternoon, June 16, was the largest ever held in this vicinity Over 500 relatives and friends assembled at his late home. There were over 150 teams in the procession from the house to the church, where a much larger crowd had previously assembled. Friends came many miles from all the surrounding towns and country, over 1200 people, and between 300 and 400 teams, would make a procession over three miles long. The services were conducted by Rev F Theiss, pastor of St Peter's church at Schaumburg Center, of which he was a consistent member all of his life often honored with official positions.. The body was recently laid to rest in Schaumburg Cemetery amid a profusion of flowers. The many beautiful and expensive floral tributes and large turnout to the funeral were silent testimonies to the worth and esteem in which deceased was held.. The editor feels that he has lot a good friend...
