SERVICE HELD ON MONDAY; J. LAUTERBACH

John Lauterbach, son of Rudolph and Willamina Lauterbach, was born at Rosebud, Texas, on January 9, 1886. In 1892 he came as a __ year-old boy with his parents to the White Salmon community.
He attended school here and was married to Ruby Barnhart at her home near White Salmon on November 12, 1916. John and Ruby bought a home on the corner of Lincoln and Garfield streets in White Salmon in 1918 and made their home there for 45 years.
As a young man, John Lauterbach helped install the first water system for White Salmon. He helped to operate this until it was taken over by the city and then help to operate it for the city until 1924.
At that time, he and his brother, William, purchased the White Salmon Dressed Meat Co. They operated this, together with a cattle ranch near Trout Lake until 1953. At that time John sold his business interests and retired.
John and Mrs. Lauterbach traveled considerably during the first 6 years of their retirement. Approximately one year ago they moved into a new home on West Jewett.
John is survived by his wife, Ruby; by one sister, Louise Lauterbach of Portland; by three brothers: August and William of White Salmon, and Henry of North Bonneville; and by several nieces and nephews.
