The Dalles Chronicle, March 15, 1988
     Reinheardt Wassenmiller, 91, a resident of The Dalles area since 1933 
died at his home on Monday.

     He was born Jan. 21, 1897 in Russia to Jacob and Lydia Wassenmiller and 
moved to the United States when he was five.  The family settled in Kansas for 
a while, then moved to the Kent area in Sherman County where they homesteaded.

     On Aug. 25, 1933, he married Grace Alice Dawson of Hood River and they 
moved to The Dalles.  


     He went to work for Seufert’s in 1934 and for a few years worked in the 
mining department, and later worked for the company cannery until it closed in 
the mid-1950s.  He then went to work for the Wasco County Road Department 
until 1962 and continued to work for the county as a caretaker at Seufert and 
Celilo parks until the Corps of Engineers took over those facilities in the 
early 1970s.  For many years he and his wife lived in a house located next to 
the cannery building and lived there until the Corps took over the park and 
tore the buildings down.

     He was an Army veteran of World War I and a member of Emmanuel Baptist 
Church.

     Survivors include his wife, Alice, The Dalles; two sons, Fred 
Wassenmiller, The Dalles, and Reinheardt Wassenmiller Jr., Salem; three 
sisters, Mollie Hillman, Oakland, Calif.; Natalie Swanson, Portland; and Freda 
Loos, Seattle; eight grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.  Another 
daughter, Virginia Moreno, died in February of 1986 and two sisters also died 
earlier.

     Funeral services will be at The Dalles IOOF Mausoleum Chapel at 2 p.m. on 
Friday with Rev. Tim Foster officiating.  Spencer, Libby & Powell Funeral Home 
is in charge of arrangements.
