August ENGEL

Notes:

The family name was spelled in the 1860 census as Engle, in the 1870 census as Ingles, in the 1880 census as Engel, and in the 1900 census as Engle.

His son William’s obit referred to August’s farm as “on Big Hill.”

In the 1895 state census, he is August Engel. His household consists of 6 males and 2 females, 7 of whom were born in the U.S. and 1 in Germany. This suggests that Sarah may have died by 1895 and that one of the girls was not living at home.

According to the 1900 census he came to the U.S. in 1854.

August Engel, 63, retired farmer, and Anna, 49, are living in the village of Pepin at the time of the 1905 state census.

In the 1910 census, he lives in Pepin County. Living with him are the widow Lousia Anderson, housekeeper, age 24, and her two children, Vernon H., 2, and Elma E., eight months. (She may be the Mrs. Lucy Anderson who was a witness to August’s will. She later filed a claim against the estate and was awarded $600.)

The probate of his estate was initiated by his son William, as executor, in March of 1916. That proceeding was completed on 25 March 1918 in Pepin.

August’s real estate at the time of his death was described in the probate documents as follows:

SW ¼ of NW ¼ of Sec 3 of Town 23 Range 14, 40 acres, valued at $2800.
W ½ of SE ¼ of SW ¼ of Section 34 of Town 24 Range 14, 20 acres valued at $300.
SE ¼ of SW ¼ of Section 4 of Town 23 Range 14, 40 acres valued at $375.
SW ¼ of SE ¼ of Section 4 of Town 23 Range 14, 40 acres valued at $1525.

Lots 9, 10, and 11 of Block 8, Village of Pepin, valued at $1800.
Lot 1 of Block 8, Village of Pepin, valued at $75.
SW corner of SE ¼ of NE ¼ of NW ¼ of Section 25, Town 23 Range 15, illegible but perhaps valued at $600.
