Christian Land Ruckdaschel was born May 17, 1853, while his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Ruckdaschel, were crossing the Atlantic Ocean on their way from Germany to America. He was given the middle name, Land, because land was first sighted from the boat on the day of his birth. After reaching this country, they went directly to the Clayton Center vicinity where they made their home. On November 18, 1879, he was married at Clayton Center to Miss Katherine Poesch by his brother-in-law, the late Rev. Seifert.
