b 11 Dec 1867 Kulm, Bessarabia, Russia
son of Ludwig Raugust / Anna Marie Flaig

"Christ Raugust, a farmer living 8 miles southwest of town, died at his home Tuesday morning of oedema of the glottis. Mr Raugust had been ill for some time, but until a few days before his death was able to be around and his death came as a surprise to many of his friends. The funeral services were conducted from the home Wednesday, Rev Graedel officiating, after which burial was in the Janke Cemetery." (Odessa Record: Sept 28, 1906; edit: Hoffnungsberg Cemetery, reportedly removed to Odessa Cemetery before 1950, per a granddaughter who was an eye witness.).
Christian Raugust reportedly was born in Feb 1868 in Odessa, Russia, where he married about 1892 to Louise Janke, daughter of Adam Yanke, and his wife Justina Patzer. Christian, Louise, two sons, William and Rudolph Raugust, and John Raugust (born 1888) immigrated to the US in May 1899, directly to the Batum area of Adams County, WA. Christ received patent on his homestead in the Batum area near the Hoffnungsberg Church of which he was instrumental in organizing. Since their arrival, Jacob, Martha and Christian E were born to them, the youngest being Christian E, at 13 months at the time of Christian Sr's death. Record of the removal of Christian from Hoffnungsberg Cemetery to Odessa City Cemetery was not obtained.
Christian Raugust, his wife Louisa Janke Raugust Schall, and a son, Christian E Raugust were originally buried in the Hoffnungsberg Cemetery and were later exhumed and re-interred in the Odessa City Cemetery with their tombstone.
It is assumed that the 12 X 12 ft family plot with initials of "F", "M" and "B" imbedded in the cement was the former resting place of these three Raugusts, the initials representing, father, mother and brother.
The German script church ledger for the burials at Batum Congregational Church cemetery did not include the Raugust burials, and quite likely this is due to the funerals being performed by Rev G Graedel, since he apparently carried his own ledger.
The graves were known to be removed from Hoffnungsberg prior to the death of Lois Raugust Luiten's father, Jacob Raugust, who died in 1950. One casket had a glass top and it was said at the time that the remains in that casket were well preserved.
Originally buried in the Hoffnungsberg Cemetery, Louisa's remains were removed and reinterred in the Odessa City Cemetery prior to 1950. Please see: Christian Raugust [Sr.]
