Note: Him and his wife are simply added in the sexton records for Omak Memorial Cemetery as Mr. & Mrs. Backus. He supposedly dropped the "o" in his name changing it to Backus. However he doesn't have a headstone to confirm this information and his death record indicates Backous at the time of his death. You will find him in records listed both as Backous and Backus. Christine has added a handwritten note "attached to his memorial" from him stating the name change.
Immigrated to the US July 6, 1884.
