FAHM, AGED VETERAN, DEAD--PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AFTER A LONG AND LINGERING ILLNESS.         Maj. Geo. E. Fahm passed away yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Gustaf Anderson, after a long and lingering illness.  He had been a sufferer for many months and a few weeks ago was placed in the city hospital, where it was soon realized that his death was only a matter of days, and it was then decided to remove him to the home of his daughter.         Major Fahm was 79 years of age, was a Confederate veteran, and wounds which he received in the battles of the sixties, six in all, partly brought on his illness.  While, of course, his death was not due to these old wounds, when he was taken ill two of the wounds for the first time in years gave him some pain, and during the past few days these wounds became sore and painful.  This is said to be the first time that they have given him any trouble in  years.         Mr. Fahm fought in many of the hardest battles in the Civil War.  In the battle of Gettysburg he received two serious wounds on the same day, and was in many other hard struggles.         The deceased was also a Mason, one of the oldest members in this city, and has been an active member of the Confederate Veterans association ever since the Civil War.  he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Anderson, one son, John R. Fahm, one brother, Captain B.A. Fahm, and one sister, Mrs. Oxford Green, all of this city.         The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock.  Rev. ?. E. Roberts, of the Baptist church, officiating.  The Masons, Confederate veterans, Daughters of the Confederacy, and other such organizations, attending.
