1 John (Johannes) Repp was the son of Heinrich (Henry), b. 1851 and Anna Marie [Barth] “Grandma”
Repp, b. 1852, who were among the first Germans from Russia to the Pacific Northwest, settling in the
Endicott area is 1882. These couples had come together from Russia in 1876 on the same ship with the
Christian Kleweno family, who came to Washington in 1886. Grandma Repp‟s sister was Anna Elizabeth
[Barth] “Grandma” Litzenberger, b. 1851?, wife of J. Henry Litzenberger. According the Barth lineage
compiled by Igor Plehve based on Russian census records, the Barth sisters were two of six sisters in the
family of Johann Heinrich and F. Sophia Catherine [Götz] Barth. (There was also a son, Heinrich.)
Johann‟s grandparents, Johann Niklolaus Barth immigrated with his father, Christian, to Russia from
Germany in the late 18 th century. An entry in Georg Kromm‟s Yagodnaya Polyana immigrant register
lists an unidentified “Barth” as a member of an unspecified transport after the colony‟s original founding
in 1767. Some members of the family later relocated to the nearby village of Pobotschnoye.
Anna Marie and Anna Elizabeth women were famed for their hospitality to immigrant
newcomers and hilarious practical jokes they played on each other. The original Repp farm was located
on the Palouse River about a mile west of Matlock Bridge while the Litzenbergers farmed several miles to
the south. A very early photograph of the family taken along the river shows both families lined up next
to a large pile of husked corn with high basalt bluffs and pine trees in the background. An April 20, 1928
issue of the Endicott Index, reporting the birthday of H. K. Scheuerman, states, “Grandma Repp kept the
crowd in merriment over funny stories of happenings in earlier days of Endicott and vicinity. One must
hear her tell the stories to get the full benefit of them.”
