Obituary from the Columbia Falls, Montana "Columbian", 27 Nov 1924, p1,c2.

Taps Sounds for Respected Citizen
Thomas J. Radabah, respected resident of this locality for many years passed
away quite suddenly last Thursday while visiting at the home of relatives at
Sand Point, Ida. The remains were brought to Kalispell in charge of Waggener
and Campbell, funeral directors, and on Saturday afternoon funeral services
were conducted at Fairview Chapel, Rev. Bates, Episcopal minister, officiating.
The deceased was born in Centre County, Pennsylvania, on April 10, 1843.
On October 25, 1862 he enlisted as a private in Co. G., Sixth Iowa Cavalry at
Colesburg, Iowa. After serving his country for 36 months he was 
honorably dis-charged on October 17, 1865, at Sioux City, Iowa. 
 For several years he lived on a little farm east of this city, 
where his wife died, since which time he had made his home at the 
Montana Soldiers' Home, having entered that institution on September 
23, 1919. His age was 81 years, 7 months and 9 days. Besides a number 
of near relatives living in this section and also near Earlville, 
Iowa, he leaves a host of friends who mourn the loss of one who 
had "charity for all and malice toward none."

T. J. Radabah's Death Certificate notes his occupation as "soldier" 
and his residence the "Old Soldiers Home".  He was a widower at 
the time of his death.  His death certificate is signed by Martin Radabah of Kootenai, Idaho.
