JACOB SCHOESSLER, a member of the Adams county board of county commissioners, and a prominent farmer residing on a tract of eleven hundred and twenty acres of land five miles northwest from Ritzvllle, was born March 18, 1855, at Seradow, Russia, the son of Jacob and Katherine (Benner) Schoessler. The parents were natives of Russia. Our subject came to America in 1876 in order to escape military duty in the Russian army. The family came originally from Germany with a colony with the understanding that the members thereof were forever to be exempt from the Russian military law, but the promise made by the Russian government was broken, hence their leaving the country. The parents both died in Russia. Upon coming to the United States Mr. Schoessler located on a farm in Nebraska, where he remained five years. He came to Adams county for the first time in 1883, having spent the intervening time in the middle western states, Oregon and Walla Walla. During his first trip to Adams county he merely looked over the land then returned to Walla Walla. In 1886 he came again, located his present homestead, and the following year began to make it his permanent home. For a number of years he saw hard times in plenty, but by his persistent and well-directed efforts he succeeded in his business and from time to time purchased more land until he now owns a tract in extent as stated above. All of his land is well improved and well cultivated. In the year 1874 Mr. Schoessler was married to Elizabeth Walter, daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Butherus) Walter, of German lineage but of Russian birth. They came to America in 1892, remained one and one-half years then returned to Russia, where both are now living. They are parents of seven children, George, Conrad, Jacob, Christian, Elizabeth, Mary M., and Lizzie. The brothers and sisters of Mr. Schoessler are as follows, John, Anna, Elizabeth, Lena, Katherine and Lizzie. To Mr. and Mrs. Schoessler have been born four children: Jacob, Adams county; Henry and John, both also of the vicinity of Ritzville; and Katie, wife of Fred Thiel, a prosperous Adams county farmer. Mr. Schoessler is a Democrat and takes an active interest in party affairs. He was elected to his present office in 1901, and he has repeatedly held school offices. Both he and his wife are members of the Congregational church. Mr. Schoessler has very recently completed a fine eight-room residence in Ritzville, which is now the family home, instead of the farm, as heretofore.
