Parents of Louis Ruppert are James P. Houge and Mary Matilda "Tillie" Ruppert. Grandparents of Louis are Frederick and Caroline Ruppert. Mary Matilda Ruppert is the daughter of Frederick and Caroline Ruppert. Louis was raised by grandparents during part of his childhood and listed as a son on census, using the surname of Ruppert, causing confusion among linking family lines. His parents, James and Matilda married in 1904 at Roslyn, Washington. Matilda married second to Harry Harts. She died on 02 Oct 1941 in Yakima, Washington. Her death certificate lists parents as Fred Ruppert and Caroline Baldoff. Matilda is buried in Yakima at Terrace Heights Memorial Park, Block 17, Section 43. Her memorial is #179166451. This should be linked to Louis soon after errors are corrected.

Louis was baptized on 21 Jul 1910 in Roslyn, Washington as Louis Rupert Hogue. Parents are listed on the Calvary Episcopal Mission records. Father is James Philip Hogue and mother is Matilda.

Louis S. Ruppert married Nadine E. Huddleston on 29 May 1937 in Kitsap Co.
Washington in 1938. However, she may have been married to Clifford Strech in 1928 at the age of 17. By 1940, she is back with Clifford Strech living in El Paso, Colorado.

On the 1920 census, Louis is residing with grandparents Fred and Caroline Ruppert in Roslyn, Washington. He was age 15 but is listed as a son.

Louis S. Ruppert enlisted as a Private in the Branch Immaterial Warrant Officer on 15 Jul 1942 in Tacoma, Washington.

On the death certificate for Louis, it has he was married, and Vesta L. Ruppert was his informant, with same address as him in residence. He died from Coronary Thrombosis, age 61. Employed by Pacific Car and Foundry. Served in WWII. Was buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Everett, on Jan 21, 1966. Louis was a resident of Everett since 1938.
--
In 1940, the Everett census listed him as single, and the "married" notation is crossed out. On his WWII draft registration papers he lists his mother as the person who will always know his address. And on his 1942 July 15 Army enlistment record, he lists that he is "separated, without dependents." So it appears that his marriage to Nadine did not last long, and they had no children.

Louis married Vesta some time after his service in the Army.
--
On the application for a tombstone marker for Louis, Vesta is his widow, and she filled out the application for a military marker.
--
Vesta died in 2002 and is also buried next to Louis in Evergreen Cemetery.
