William C. Ruegnitz Dies on Vacation
William C. Ruegnitz, 62, of 2135 N. E. 28th avenue, for many years a major figure in Oregon lumber circles and for seven years manager of Columbia Basin Loggers' association, died Wednesday of a heart attack.
Mr. Ruegnitz was stricken near Woodland, Wash., while driving home from a two weeks' vacation in Victoria, B. C. His wife drove on to Vancouver, Wash., where Ruegnitz was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Joseph's hospital.
Born in Alma Center, Wis., in 1883, Mr. Ruegnitz graduated from Armour Institute in Chicago with the degree of civil engineer when he was 20 years old.
He first came to Oregon in 1909 and a year later married Miss Jet MCCollom of Portland. He was associated with the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen from its beginning and was president and manager when the
organization was disbanded after passage of the Wagner labor relations act in 1935.

Mr. Ruegnitz had wide experience in construction work, having worked for several years with the Bates & Rogers Construction company of Chicago. While with this concern he was construction superintendent in charge of building sub-structures for the Grand Trunk railroad in British Columbia.
He later worked for the Bridal Veil and Wind River lumber companies. He was a charter member of the Oregon Society of Civil Engineers.
He is survived by his widow and two daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Aase, who is living with her mother, and Miss Mary Louise Ruegnitz, who is at a Spar training school at New London, Conn.
