We give credit to the Heritage Church, Odessa Historisches Museum and the Odessa Record for assistance in gathering the data.

These have NOT been confirmed by the Odessa City Clerk, but are documentation found within the county that purport to have been buried in Odessa. In many instances (?) will denote that there is some likelihood of error.

Explanations and Common abbreviations used herein:

TS = Tombstone; OC = specific location to Odessa Cemetery; LL = Christ Lutheran Ledger, data furnished by the Museum

Suchland = A thorough research of the cemetery was done by Harold Suchland and in some cases his mention is the only available record, with no explanation. From that mention, additional research continues and some records are being documented. Due to the fragile condition of the local copies of the Odessa Record papers which went through a fire in the 1980's, some items are not available.

The first project was building their own home on West Fourth Avenue, in which she resided and maintained for 58 years. Ruth supported the construction business handling bookkeeping, payrolls, architectural modifications and drafting and transporting building supplies by truck from distributors in Spokane and the Puget Sound area. She was also highly meticulous in general carpentry, cabinet making and hanging doors. A specialty was making large, sturdy wooden desks. During the mid-1950s, A. J. and Ruth purchased a 160-acre irrigated farm in the Ephrata area. They turned it into a feedlot operation, with 100 to 200 head of Shorthorn steers. They later sold that unit and concentrated on construction business. After retiring from the construction business in the mid-1960s, A. J. and Ruth operated feedlot operations on the old Lyons and Reisenauer place. They went into full retirement in the early 1970’s, when A. J .became ill with heart disease.
