George Elmer Ritchey (1870-1957) lived in Pullman at least as early as 1896, in a
house on Windus Street on Military Hill. He apparently worked in a Pullman grain
elevator in the 1890s. By 1910, he was a house painter, sharing his home with his
wife, Carlotta, and children Helen and Elaine. His father, William, a carpenter,
boarded with him, according to the city directory.
