OBITUARY
August J.H. Rust – Born January 3, 1857, New York City. Died October 28, 1937. At the age of 14, he moved to Boston, where he worked in a print shop. He moved to Kansas with his mother and stepfather at the age of 17. They expected to locate at Kinsley where his stepfather was interested, with other Boston men, in a steam-cultivating project. They were advised not to go to Kinsley, because the townsite had been moved, but that the town of Ellinwood on the Arkansas river was a "good location." It proved to be so, despite the famous grasshopper year of 1873.
He was married to Bertha A. Hagan, January 17, 1883, to which union were born two daughters, Louise, who died in 1906, and Pearl, of the home. He moved to Atchison in 1892 where he attended business college.
He made the run in 1893 and staked the claim north of Kremlin on which he lived until his death. He was associated with Frank Kirk in the Livery Barn at North Town (now North Enid) and moved the Barn to Enid to what is now the Stephens Buick firm site at 2nd and Broadway.
He was a member of the Masonic Lodge at Ellinwood, Kans. And the Kansas Sons of Veterans. He was also a charter member of the Kremlin Methodist church. He was preceded in death by his wife about a year and a half ago. A sister, who made her home with him and was known as Aunt Louise, died in 1912.
The daughter Pearl is the only survivor.
