Jacob J. Ruhlmann1
M, #52167, b. 19 May 1825, d. 14 January 1917
| Note* | Jacob J. Ruhlmann; 1882 Buffalo city directory lists a Mrs. EupheniaRuhlman living at 535 S. Division St., could she be a daughter-in-law orNeice of Jacob Ferdinand? He was an old Lutheran? Preacher. 'Sophie,someday you'll understand' he said! (Quoted by Grace Ruhlman). In 1847he came to New York City with his parents. Could the Ruhlmanns beconnected with the Ebenezer Society of Buffalo, New York? We (JJR IV)think so! The Hammerschmidts were a part of the Society! According toTruman White's 'OUR COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE EIRIE CO., N.Y,' Page 242.He came to New York City with wife and children in 1847. JACOB J. RUHLMANN The name Ruhlman (Ruhlmann prior to John Jacob Ruhlman I) comesfrom the German name Rudolf. (See name derivation in Jacob FerdindandRuhlmann-Notes) Our family's story began in The Dukedom of Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany whenour immigrant ancestor Jacob Ferdinand Ruhlmann was born in 1795. ModernGermans call the area Baden-Wurttenburg. This general area of the Rhineriver valley near the French border was characterized in the early 1800sby continual conflict and border disputes between France and Germany.Cities in this area were sometimes in Germany and sometimes in France!Napolean of France was conquering the world; Germany was on the rise;most young men were drafted into one army or the other! One reason forthe German and French people of this era to immigrate to America wassimply to avoid Europe's wars! Another reason could have been religious freedom and idealism. (seeJacob Ferdinand Ruhlmann - Notes) A priceless paragraph is found in Truman C. White's Book: 'Our Countryand its People; a Descriptive Work on Erie County, New York'. Boston:Boston History Co., 1898. volume II, Page 242 In this paragraph, White fixes the coming to NYC of Jacob Ruhlman'sfather, Jacob Ferdinand Ruhlman as 1847. Jacob would have been 21. Theyfirst settled in NYC and then moved to Erie Co., New York. To the best of our knowledge, the Ruhlmanns came from the Dukedom ofHesse Darmstadt Germany, where Jacob Ferdinand Ruhlmann was born in1795. He Married Dorothy Hammerschmidt and they had seven children.Most of the children were educated in Germany. Jacob and DorothyRuhlmann brought at least Martin (age 14) and probably all seven childrento NYC in 1847 where Martin and probably the whole family worked as bootmakers. We are not sure when or where Jacob Ferdinand Ruhlmann died. Perhaps inNYC after 1847 (1852?)--or perhaps in Ebenezer in Erie Co., NY. TheDeath Certificate of his son Jacob Ruhlmann says that he lived in the USand Buffalo for 60 years; If that is true, the Ruhlmann family would havearrived here in 1857, not 1847! Jacob Ferdinand's wife, Dorothy Hammerschmidt is buried in the OldEvangelical Church Cemetery in Ebenezer, NY. We have a wonderful photoof the stone: Dorathea Ruhlmann, GEE (born) 15 Mai 1804 GEST. (died) 28Nov. 1881. So, according to Truman C. White, the seven children of Jacob Ferdinandand Dorothy Hammerschmidt Ruhlmann were: Jacob, Catherine, Phillip,Peter, Martin (b Sept 25, 1833 Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, died after 1898,Orchard Park, NY) George and Minnie. Our Branch of the Ruhlmans descend from the oldest son, Jacob J. Ruhlmann(the last to use the double nn?) who was born May 19, 1825 in HesseDarmstadt, Germany. He was married twice: The first wife was CatherineWise (According to the death certificate of their son, John Jacob Ruhlman(b. Sept 27, 1852 in NYC.) By 1875, according to the Erie County Census,West Seneca Section, Jacob was married to Anna Mary Dackman who was bornNov 2, 1812 in Germany and died in Ebenezer, Erie Co., NY June 16, 1899. I think Jacob J. Ruhlmann's first wife Catherine Wise died between 1852and 1875 either in NYC or Ebenezer; I would guess NYC, because brotherMartin came to Orchard Park (Erie Co.) NY in 1861. So far we have norecord of a grave marker for Catherine Wise Ruhlmann. Jacob and Catherine Ruhlmann must have had at least Martin J. Ruhlman(born 1850, NYC) and our John Jacob Ruhlman I (born Sept. 27, 1852 inNYC) while they were living in New York City. The obituary of Jacob J.Ruhlmann in the Buffalo Evening News in January of 1917 also lists somedaughters of Jacob: 'Mrs. George Behsman of New Jersey and Mrs. CharlesHensel' (probably of the local Buffalo area). An interesting lady, 'Mrs. Euthenia Ruhlman, 535 South Division Street,Buffalo, NY.' is listed in the 1882 Buffalo City Directory. Perhaps shewas a daughter in law or niece of Jacob Ferdinand Ruhlmann! It is important to read Clara Ruhlman McCue's account of Jacob J.Ruhlmann: 'He was a very devout Lutheran (Or Evangelical Church? JJRVI). Small, very neat with a neat white beard.' Grace Ruhlman Yaxley said that her great grandfather, Jacob J. Ruhlmanthe 'Old Lutheran Preacher' told his granddaughter in law Sophia OhmRuhlman: 'Sophie, Someday you'll understand' (during the time of herhusband, John Jacob Ruhlman II's drinking escapades). According to his death certificate, Jacob J. Ruhlmann was a shoemaker bytrade. He died January 14, 1917 at the home of his son, Martin J. Ruhlman, 241Adams Street, Buffalo, NY. |

Daniel 'Dan' Able Ruland1
M, #49869, b. 22 August 1857, d. 15 April 1945
| Note* | Daniel Able Ruland was born on the 22nd of August, 1857, to Jackson W.and Mary Marie Ruland (Mary Marie's parentage is not known at this time1997), pioneer mercantile business owners at Rock Port, Missouri. Aftergraduating from Rockport High School he worked for a time as a typesetterin a printing office. Dan said he smoked but the haze became so thick hecouldn't see the type by coal oil lamp so he switched to 'chewing'. When he was nineteen he and Jerrett Todd decided to see the world and setout for the west coast en route to Hong Kong. On the 4th of July, 1876,they arrived in Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado, where a celebration was inprogress. They witnessed a horse race between whites and Ute Indians. Here they learned of the Black Hills Gold Rush and decided to give up the ideaof Hong Kong, so headed north. Dan got a job in Cheyenne driving afreight wagon to Deadwood, arriving there in March 1877 with a four-horsewagon load of flour which sold for $22. cwt. from the wagon. Payment wasmade in gold dust. He also freighted from Sidney, Nebraska. In the summer of 1881, Dan worked for James A. Newland, father of JamesI. Newland, of Colony, on the first irrigation canal from Redwater Riverto Fruitdale, Dakota Territory. He later recalled that the horses wereknee deep in dust pulling the fresnos and scrapers and he would lookwestward to the Bear Lodge Mountains and see rain several days a week. He knew then wherehe was to eventually settle. Dan returned to Rock Port that late fall and on the 18th of May, 1882, heand two companions headed north with a herd of Shorthorn cattle. Theyarrived on False Bottom Creek, east of Spearfish, Dakota Territory, onthe 11th of July after a fifty-two day trip. The cattle were then trailedto Beaver Creek on the west side of the Bear Lodge Mountains (where his son Dillon now lives).There he cut 102 loads of wild hay with a scythe and cradle and stackedit. This he estimated would be one hay rack load for each head oflivestock, an ample amount for the winter ahead. He fenced the stack withAspen poles and built a dug-out for a cabin. His closest neighbor was Jess Lincoln Driskill onthe T+T Ranch at the mouth of Beaver Creek by the Belle Fourche River, adistance of about fifteen miles. Due to the extreme cold and deep snow that winter, Dan finally kicked thepoles from the stack fence and let the livestock eat their way into thehay for food and warmth. Even then many of the cattle were lost toexposure. Dan’s diary relates that on a fall day in 1883, he rode to a lake abouttwo and one half miles southwest to hunt deer. What he encountered was agrizzly bear which he shot with his .44 carbine rifle. The animal was solarge he couldn't’t move it to dress out. The next morning he rode toJohn Pearson’s sawmill for help. When his friend, Green Todd, a bearhunter saw the skin he declared it was the largest he had ever seen. In the spring of 1884 Dan filed on a pre-emption on Black Tail Creeksoutheast of the Hulett family. His brand was three lazy BBB’s. Otherbachelors named his cabin “The Guilt Edge” for reasons now unknown. Late one afternoon while hunting for meat Dan saw five buffalo on agrassy ridge with wall rock all around except to the northwest.Positioning himself at this entrance he knew his scent would drift towardthe buffalo. Soon they caught his scent and ran for the only escape. Heshot and dressed them and went back to the cabin, greased the wagon and got his tarps and blankets.Before daylight the next morning he left for Deadwood with the load ofmeat where he sold it to the miners for five cents a pound. On the 23rd of December, 1886, Dan married Lulu Belle French at Sundance,Wyoming Territory. They resided on Black Tail Creek until 1895. Theirson, Dillon Bacon was born on their pre-emption on the 25th of July,1894. A new house was constructed at the head of the southeast fork ofRed Canyon where they ranched until 1908. Then they purchased thetownsite of Alva from Ed McWilliams and built a large two story store andsold groceries, general merchandise, wagons, buggies, and farm machinery.Mrs. Ruland served as postmaster from 1908 to 1914. Dan and Lulu Belle retired in 1916 and moved into a new house in Alvawhere they lived the rest of their lives. Dan passed away in his sleepthe 15th of April, 1945, and was laid to rest in the Alva Cemetery. This account is stated in the book - 'Pioneers Of Crook County1876-1920', by the Historical Society of Crook County, Crook County,Wyoming, copyright 1981, Pages 436-437, pictures on page 436. |

Dillon Bacon Ruland1
M, #49804, b. 25 July 1894, d. 14 August 1982
| Note* | Dillon Bacon Ruland, son of a pioneer family, was born 25th of July,1894, on Black Tail Creek on his father’s pre-emption near Hulett,Wyoming, to Dan and Lulu Belle (nee Dewing) Ruland. In 1897, at the age of three, Dillon accompanied his parents on an overland trip by team and wagon to Rockport, Missouri. They spent the 4th of July with his father’s uncle, Bailey Ruland, and family who owned and operated a restaurant at Custer South Dakota. While in Rockport, Mrs.Ruland dried fruit which was brought back to Wyoming that November. In 1904 the family had promise of brighter days on the west coast. They went by train to Seattle where Dan’s sister and family lived. At that time a depression hit and no work could be found so they returned to Wyoming to start anew. From the 21st of April to the 31st of December, 1913, Dillon worked for Charlie Wood on the Beaver Creek ranch for $35.00 a month. He relates that once he and another hired hand were haying in Lucky Gulch for Mr. Wood and they went to a spring to get a drink and water the horses. They had two cans, one to catch the water and the other with a cloth over it to strain out the 'wigglers'. It was so hot and men so thirsty the other man didn't’t take the time to strain in it. He just continued to drink then said, 'They are getting into a hell of a place.' One of Dillon’s boyhood buddies was Ben Mahoney. They would occasionally go prairie chicken hunting in Mahoney’s field southeast ofAlva. As shotgun shells were quite expensive for a couple of boys, they always waited until they could get two birds with one shot. While Dillon’s father operated the store in Alva the traveling salesmen would make their visits by horse and buggy. Dillon was eager to wager with them that he could hit a walnut or their silver dollar in mid-air with his .22 rifle. This venture kept him in ammunition money. Following the family tradition, Dillon built a new store building in Alva in 1916 on land he bought from Fred Aikman. Carpenters were Walter Osborn, Walter Hood, John Parkins and himself. In 1917, Dillon took the Civil Service examination for postmaster at Alva. He was appointed postmaster on the 11th of August, 1917, being the only postmaster of the seven to date, to hold that office, who took the Civil Service examination for the position. In 1918 he enlisted in the army and after two unsuccessful physical exams he was accepted. Dillon entered service on the 25th of July, 1918,and was discharged at Camp Funston, Kansas, on the 18th of December,1918. He served at Waco, Palace and Camp McArthur, Texas, as bayonet instructor having taken the training under two British officers. He was on overseas rosters twice but was held back to train new recruits in bayonet use.While in service Dillon leased his store to a brother-in-law, Ben P.Colvin, who was Assistant Postmaster during the period. Upon returning home Dillon operated the General Merchandise Store and Post Office until the 1st of July, 1946, when the store was sold to Merlin O’Haver who was appointed Postmaster at the time. On the 25th of June, 1919, Dillon and Frances Olivia Nilson, eldest daughter of Alfred and Hilda (nee Pearson) Nilson of the Alva Community, were united in marriage at Belle Fourche, South Dakota. Their only child, Elbert Dale, was born at Alva the 30th of October, 1922. Dale married Marry Catherine Kester on the 27th of November, 1947 and they have a son, Dan Albert, and a daughter, Elaine Marie. These children are both married and Elaine has two children. During the twenty-seven years they operated the store together Dillon freighted from Deadwood, Rapid City and Belle Fourche for the store: hauled grain to the elevator for local ranchers and operated his own ranch. Consequently, it fell upon Frances to operate the store and post office alone for the most part, besides being a mother and housewife. They sold groceries, dry goods, hardware, notions, gas and oil, farm machinery, radios and cars. Whatever the public needed, they would supply. During the depression years necessary credit was extended to any one in need, enabling many to survive those desperate years. On the 13th of May, 1943, Dillon accepted the Cooperative Weather Bureau Station previously operated by Albert Knowles. He still maintainsthe station today (1981) after nearly thirty-eight years as CooperativeObserver. Baseball was a popular sport in this community and Dillon played center field and pitcher for many years, playing with the Hulett, Alva and Aladdin teams. Another sport dear to his heart has been big game hunting. Yet today elk, moose, deer and antelope hunters will see him roaming the prairies and mountains with his 30-06 rifle and keeping up with the best of them.
