    • Bertha Newens reported that later in life Richard changed his surname from Aussicker to Armstrong.

      The 1915 Iowa state census lists Richard as a single male, 9 years old, living with his family in Cedar Rapids. 1915 Iowa State Census, State Historical Society of Iowa (Roll 294, p. c865).

      The 1925 Iowa state census reports that Richard was an 18 year old single male living with his parents Rose I. (Ferguson) and Charles H. Aussieker. 1925 Iowa State Census, State Historical Society of Iowa (Roll 1812, p. 23).

      By 1930 Richard had moved to California. The 1930 census lists him as a 24 year old single man, born in Iowa (whose father was born in Illinois and his mother in Iowa), and who was working as a chemical engineer in the cement industry. 1930 U.S. Census, Riverside City, Riverside Cnty, CA (T 626, Roll 183, ED 36, p. 3B).

      "Rose I. Aussieker, 90, of Pasadena, California, a former Cedar Rapids resident, died April 18....
      "Surviving is a son, Dr. Richard C. Armstrong, Pasadena...."
