Frederick Julius Rachuig, 1897


Mike Chandler and his sister Elizabeth Egbert sent me this picture of Frederick Rachuig on horseback. The text on the right edge says the photographer was located in Gatesville. I presume that's the location although it could be Clifton. The annotation on the back indicates the date is 1897, just 2 years before he died.

Mike and Elizabeth have said he died from complications relating to diabetes. Another brother (Gustoph Adolph Rachuig) died from diabetes in 1932.
