Arno Schussman Dies In Spokane. "Arno W. Schussman, 45, passed away at a Spokane hospital late Saturday afternoon, following an illness of a few days. He was taken to the hospital but the day before his death, which, owing to the nature of Mr. Schussman's sickness, the doctors were unable to combat. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at the Smith Chapel in Spokane and was largely attended. The Rev. H. S. Randall, Spokane, former Ritzville M. E. pastor, now retired, officiated, after which the impressive ritualistic service of the Masonic lodge was given, the deceased being a member of Ritzville lodge, No. 101, F. & A. M. The body was laid at rest in the Peace Abbey mausoleum at Fairmont, with the C. J. Newland post, No. 51, American Legion, in charge of the last rites. A squad from Ft. George Wright fired the final salute and taps were sounded by a fellow comrade from the home post. Arno Schussman was born at Calumet, Mich., in 1886 and upon coming to the northwest, first made his home on the coast, where he was married. When the World war broke out, he enlisted at Monterey, Cal., and was sent overseas and served for 14 months in the signal corps of the 411th

battalion. During his absence in France, Mr. Schussman lost both his wife and a daughter.

Upon the signing of the armistice, Mr. Schussman returned to Palouse, Wash. Being employed as wire repairman for the Pacific Telegraph Co., he was transferred to Ritzville 13 years ago, having been in the service of the company six years previous to that time. Mr. Schussman was married again on Oct. 23, 1920, to Miss Pearl Thompson of Sprague, where she was in charge of the telephone station. By an unusual coincidence, Mr. Schussman was taken to Spokane on the anniversary of their marriage. The deceased is survived by his wife, Pearl; one daughter, Wilma, at the home; his mother,

Mrs. O. F. Williams of Garfield, Wash.; and one brother, Robert, of Wenatchee, Wash." (Ritzville Journal-Times, Thursday, October 29, 1931)
