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, Christian's remains were removed and reinterred in the Odessa City Cemetery prior to 1950. Please see: Christian E. Raugust [Jr.]
