  BIOGRAPHY: http://www.genealogy.com/users/c/h/r/David-Alan-Christianson/FILE/0004text.txt JOHN D. AND ELIZABETH OPP Mr. and Mrs. John D. Opp John D. was seven years old when he arrived in America in 1884 from Gluckstal, South Russia with his parents, Daniel and Katharina Gohl Opp. They came to Menno, South Dakota, but finding no homesteading land readily available they traveled north to McPherson County to file their claim for land. Elizabeth's parents, George and Elizabeth Rosin Neuharth had arrived in America ten years earlier and lived in the Menno, South Dakota area until early 1884 when they trekked north to McPherson County. The Neuharths were one of two earliest German-Russian families to settle in the county. John D. was born February 3, 1877 and died November 11, 1953. Elizabeth was born February 10, 1881, died August 16, 1967. They were married November 22, 1898. They established a new farm thirteen miles northeast of Eureka in 1906 on which they lived until their retirement in 1945. They bought the former John G. Neuharth home in Eureka which is presently owned by Dr. and Mrs. James Anderson. After John's death, Elizabeth purchased a smaller home in which she lived until shortly before her death. Fifteen children were born to the couple, three died in infancy. Growing to adulthood were: John and Elizabeth (Ulrich), both deceased; Bertha Job, Leola, South Dakota; Otto, Eureka; Pauline and Rueben, both deceased; Helen Young, Kennewick, Washington; Calvin, Eureka; Rudolph, Leola, South Dakota; Allan, Kent, Washington; Edmund, Eureka; and Alma Donahue, Richland, Washington. In July of 1979 descendants of John D. and Elizabeth Opp held a family reunion at the Eureka Country Club with a total of 150 children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in attendance.
