Since the earlier settlements in Horton Township quite a number of German families have moved into the township, and these Germans are considered as some of its most substantial and industrious citizens.
In 1882 Henry Wassmann with his son Dick, Charles Griep and several others of their neighbors left Indiana and bought tickets to Chicago, from there to Glendive, Montana. They were simply going west as men do go, without knowing exactly where until they looked it over. They got to Bismarck in North Dakota, when the elder Wassmann thought that any more west was too much for him, and told the rest of the party they could go on, but as for himself he should look over a part of Iowa. This caused the three parties above named to return to St. Paul, where they bought tickets to Sheldon. They drove from Sheldon to Bigelow, Minn., and not desiring to settle there, were returning, when, by parties at Sibley, they were induced to settle in Osceola County, which they did.
The Wassmann's bought several pieces of land, among which was the L. G. Ireland place on Section 34, where Dick Wassmann now lives. His correct name is Diedrich Wassman, but is commonly called Dick. There is no better farm in the county than Dick Wassmann's, and no better place for a home than right there among the large variety of forest trees, set out by the lamented Ireland and later by Dick himself.
About one hundred different kinds of trees stand there in the gorgeous grandeur of their green foliage and as the leaves rustle in the breeze, they seem to whisper a voice of contentment, of thrift and independence which mark the surroundings, and are expressed in the hospitality of the occupant, for Dick Wassmann is no more diminutive in heart and soul than he is in stature.
There are kinds of trees on this farm that probably couldn't be found anywhere else in the state, and fruit trees in abundance.Dick Wassmann bought the L. G. Ireland farm, which is one of the best and most attractive places in the county. Mr. Wassmann added to the already great variety of trees planted by Captain Ireland until it is claimed there are over one hundred varieties of forest trees in the beautiful grove that delights the eye as one drives past it. Mr. Wassmann served three terms as county treasurer and at one time wielded a powerful political influence in the east end of the county. After retiring from the treasurer's office he was connected with the bank of Ocheyedan until his death a few years ago. There is hardly space to mention at length all these strong men to whom Horton township owes much of her present prosperity.
Henry Wassman returned to Indiana where he still resides. Charles Griepbought the northeast quarter Section 27 where he still lives and is a successful farmer.
The coming of these parties here was the means of other Germans following them and buying land in Horton. Henry Pinkenburg took a part of Section 25, also did Conrad Hattendorf; Henry Rusche the northwest quarter of Section 14; Fred Glade a part of Section 23; William Lick a part of Section 21, and Conrad Oldendorf a part of Sections 23 and 25. W. H. Noehren bought the northeast quarter of Section 22,and still lives there. Mr. Noehren has been prominent in township matters, and at present is a member of a good class of people, and among its other substantial farmers not otherwise mentioned are the three Piscators, father and two sons, who we believe are on Section 8, Gustav Johnson on Section 10, William Rehborg on Section 11, and August Polinski on Section 13.
On Section 14, besides Henry Rusche, lives August Bremer on the northeast quarter, and John Estabrook on the southwest quarter. Conrad Bremer is on Section 15, William Filk and John Farragher on Section 18, and Peter Wickland on Section 19. On Section 20 is Vaclave Sixty, also John Maske,Joseph Rhomatko and Joseph Cload. On Section 22 we find Chris Bremerand Henry Redeker.
John Robertson has the southeast quarter of Section 24, and John Gielow and William Graveare on Section 26. On Section 27, besides Mr. Griep, are Charles Schmidt and William Sehr. Mr.John Thompson lives on a quarter of Section 28, and Mr. I. B. Titus owns a part of Section 30, and is the only resident on that section. Frank Engle is on Section 31, and William Maske on Section 32. Chris Wassmann is on Section 35 and has recently built there a house and barn. On Section 36 William Carney has a quarter, also A. V. Randall formerly lived on this quarter, but is now in business at Ocheyedan. J. T. Boling's place is now owned by Herman Bauermeister, who lives in Worthington, Minn.1 |

Bio:
Emma Wassman was born in rural Ocheyedan Osceola County Iowa November 24 1884. She was the second eldest of five children and spent her early years in this area where her father was a respected farmer County Auditor and Banker. She attended rural school in Horton Township Osceola County. In 1901 the local Lutheran Parochial school was visited by a seminary student fulfilling his school mission teaching requirements.
This slender Texan Frederick Hendrick Rudi was attending Concordia Seminary in St. Louis Missouri and their meeting started a long distance romance. After his graduation in 1903 he returned to Ocheyedan where on August 20 1903 they were married. The Reverend Rudi had accepted a pastoral call in 1902 to Clifton Texas located between San Antonio and Houston in an rural area settled by German immigrants in the late 1890's. In 1903 Emma left the green fields and frigid winters of Iowa for brown dusty cow country of south Texas which was to be her home until 1912.
Their marriage produced eleven children all who grew to adulthood. Their pastoral calling was spent in three different congregations in three states. Their life together raising a family spanned the turbulent ten's a devastating world war the ebullient twenties the trials of the depression a second world conflagration and the after war recovery and technological advances. Five children were born at their first pastorate in Clifton. In 1912 they responded to a pastoral call to rural Tilsit at Jackson Missouri. Reverend Rudi served there until 1920 when they moved their family north to Glidden Iowa. Reverend Rudi served the Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod) until his retirement in 1943. Their Children were: Walter (1904) a high school scholar and athlete who died of pneumonia as a senior in high school. Carl (1906) Graduated in Electrical Engineering from Ames College (now ISU) prominent in athletics and Cardinal Key. He married Helen Heperly also an Ames College Graduate. Gertrude (1908) A creative person married Frank P Clawson. Elvira (1910) Trained as a nurse. Married Orville Prill died in childbirth at twenty two. Anita (1912) Music teacher/organist married buttermaker Gordon Junker. Martha (1915) Born with grand mal epilepsy passed away at twenty eight. Edgar (1916) Served with the 34th Division front line medical group for four years in North Africa and Italy. A University of Iowa graduate became an Audio-visual specialist at the University of Iowa Hospitals. Married Nadine Beckner. Frederick (1919) served five years with Patton and the Ninth Armored Division at Bastogne Bridge at Remagen and the race into Germany. Awarded the Croix de Guerre from Luxembourg in 1946. Rural Mail Carrier in Glidden Iowa. Married Arlene Elliott. Harold (1922) Served four years with the U.S. Navy Armed Guard as a signalman aboard merchant ships taking supplies across the north Atlantic to England and Murmansk Russia. After graduation from the University of Arizona was personnel director for Hughes Tool and Die Tucson. Married Kathleen Sporleder. Louella (1924) National Honor Society attended Iowa State College. Married Lowell B Fisher ISC and West Point graduate career military officer bomber pilot and missile commander. Norman (1928) Served in Army of Occupation Japan in paratroops. Graduated from the University of Oklahoma Architect. Married Ann Andrews.
Frederick and Emma's lives were not without trial and tragedy apprehension and fear. But they were also filled with love expectancy hope accomplishment and thanks for their many blessings. Reverend Rudi was not only father to his flock but father to the entire congregation who needed and received considerable attention through the many difficult times. Consequently a great majority of the rearing feeding and caring fell squarely on Emma's shoulders. The family was raised with out the contemporary conveniences of electricity running water indoor plumbing and modern food storage. They maintained an enormous garden and the entire summer was preparation for surviving the winters. She canned vegetables fruits pickles sauerkraut odd cuts of beef received from parishioners and tomatoes. They maintained a chicken yard for eggs and fast food when Pastor Hermann of Lidderdale dropped by unexpectedly with his family of thirteen.1 |
