Much of this information was posted in 2001 on another Board by Patrice Wessel. Attempts to contact her have not been successful. Looking for anyone with information about her or the family of Charles Rabe to contact me.

This is Deanne Fortier Dupont. My mother's maiden name is Rabe. I think her Dad's family (James W. Rabe) may be from Charles' brother August. My mom said her great grandfather was from Prussia. They had a foundry in New Orleans. Sorry I don't know much more. I am happy to share what I know.
