Hold Last Rites For Fred Arlt
Funeral services were held this afternoon at the Emanuel Lutheran church for Fredrich Arlt,
81, Adams county pioneer, who died Saturday noon after a short illness. The Rev. F. J. Ahrendt
officiated.
Mr. Arlt had been in good health until the end of November. His condition became serious
about the middle of January and he was taken to the Ritzville general hospital, where he died.
Fredrich Arlt was born Aug. 3, 1863, in New York and moved to St. Paul, Minn., with his
parents when he was three years old. In 1888 he came to Washington and took up a homestead
six miles north of Ritzville. On March 30, 1894, he was married in Plato, Minn., to Anna Wuethrich.
To this union were born 13 children, five of whom preceded their father in death.
After living eight years on the homestead north of Ritzville, Mr. Arlt moved to another
ranch near Schrag where he lived until the fall of 1940, when he retired and moved to Ritzville.
Besides his widow, Anna, he is survived by three sons, Fred of Hartline, Arthur of Ritzville, and Robert of Schrag; and five daughters, Mrs. Herman Sieverkropp of Odessa; Mrs. John Albershardt and Mrs. Ernest Babcock, both of Spokane, and Mrs. Dave Eckhardt of Wilson Creek; two brothers, Henry and Louis of Glencoe, Minn.; 31 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
