THE FLAMING SWORD, Community Current Events, August 1933, p. 13: "The sad news has been received from Baltimore of the death, after a long illness, of Mr. Henry N. Rahn, father of Brothers Claude and Frank Rahn, in his seventy-fifth year. Mr. Rahn was a staunch Koreshan and earnestly endeavored to further the Cause in his native city of Baltimore since accepting Koreshanity in 1895. Meetings were frequently held at his house to discuss the doctrine; and whenever KORESH visited Baltimore he was a welcome guest at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Rahn. Mr. Rahn is survived by his wife, five sons and a daughter."

Note that the Flaming Sword account says he was survived by his wife, five sons and a daughter.

Notes from Evelyn Horn: Claude J. Rahn remarried in 1941 to Elizabeth Shearer of Pennsylvania, a very beautiful person who made a lovely home for Claude. Claude and Elizabeth retired in 1950 to make their home in Vero Beach. Claude died August 18, 1973, and was buried in Crestlawn Cemetery, Vero Beach, Florida. His brother PAUL died June 10, 1945. His mother died June 15, 1945. Claude's sister, Edna, married Harvey Bond of Baltimore, Maryland. They had 2 sons. They retired in Nobodies, Florida, to make their home.

FLAMING SWORD, Community Current Events by D. J. Richards, February 1927:
"It gives us great pleasure to record in this issue the return of Brothers Elbert W. Lindbeck, of Rock Island, Illinois, and Frank Rahn of Baltimore, Maryland. They are both happy to be back in the Unity again, and we are glad to have them. Brother Elbert is a Linotype operator, but understands the technique of job printing as well, and his assistance in this department of the publishing house is very much needed and will be appreciated. Brother Frank Rahn fits in wherever needed; it will be good to see him at his old place in the Koreshan Orchestra, playing the clarinet, or it may be the saxophone, as we understand he brought a saxophone with him. Both brothers are en rapport with the Master and his work, and proved it by coming back.

THE FLAMING SWORD; Community Current Events by L. W. Bubbett; February 1935: "Wednesday the sixteenth Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rahn of Winnetka, Illinois, arrived for a short visit with Mr. Rahns' brother, Brother Claude Rahn. Mr. Walter Rahn is connected with the Chicago office of the Commercial Credit Company of Baltimore. This year he took his vacation in Florida, and while motoring from Miami to St. Petersburg he stopped at Estero to visit his brother at the Unity. Brother Claude laments the fact that after extolling for years the beauties of the Koreshan Unity grounds, which the colorful crotons, artistic bamboo clumps, and other attractive plant life, his folks would come right after the disastrous freeze of last month had almost entirely wiped out the work and growth of some seventeen years--since the last devastating freeze! However, the visitors were well entertained, and they seemed to greatly enjoy their visit. They continued their journey north on the eighteenth."
