Bertram J. “Bert” Engel, 73, of the town of Lafayette, Chippewa Falls, died Wednesday, January 23, 2019 at Mayo Clinic Health System – Eau Claire.

Bert was born June 16, 1945 in Chippewa Falls to Raymond and Evelyn (Peterson) Engel. Growing up in Wheaton with his parents and four brothers, life was as simple as you'd expect with five boys growing up on a farm. After graduating from Chi-Hi, Bert served in the Army, then lived in Chippewa Falls finally settling in Lafayette. Life on the river was a major focal point.

Bert’s career consisted of over 30 years devoted to CT Film and then finally retiring in 2007 from Rockwell Automation.

Always inventive, along with his brother, Arley, they reigned the unbeatable champions of Chippewa’s Bridge to Wonderland Parade float contest with the most prestigious award winning floats for over fifteen years.

Bert's personality as a unique gentleman was filled with an abundant fascination to explore, solve and create. He was known for leaving his signature trademark on everything he created and owned. With a common sense approach to life, Bert's creations caught people's attention whether it was his SS Juggs amphibious boat driving up the boat ramp or intricate light displays including on his Camaro, he truly loved inventing the unusual and extraordinary.

If he thought of it, he built it, and brought it to life. He made everything fun.

Bert is loved and remembered by his children Tammy, Jody, Jon and Kelli; grandchildren, Justin (deceased), Nicole, Brayden, Nevaeh, Brianna, CJ, Cole, Joel, Jacob, Pita, and Jimmy; along with stepchildren, Michael and Samantha; his parents Evelyn and Raymond (both deceased) his brothers Gene, Arley (deceased), Richard, Charles (deceased) and many other relatives and friends.

Visitation will be held from 5-6 p.m., Tuesday, January 29 at Pederson-Volker Funeral Chapel, Chippewa Falls. Military Rites will be conducted at the funeral home at 6 p.m. by the Chippewa Falls Patriotic Council, with a time of sharing led by Elder Corey Malison to immediately follow.

Beth’s research says Martha’s birthdate was December, 1870.

Martha is shown in the 1891 La Crosse city directory as “Miss Martha Bowe, domestic.” It lists a succession of addresses. The one in print is “13th betw Main and King.” Two later addresses, entered by hand, are 303 N. 8th and 118 S. 11th. Martha is still listed as a domestic in the 1893 city directory, now at 812 Cass.

Divorced her first husband, with whom Cora says she had a son, then married Hendrickson. Cora remembers the divorce as "a disgrace." Because she had nowhere else to go, Martha moved back home to the farm and Anna, Charly, and Cora moved out for a year. Cora remembers Martha as "a bossy woman, and her boy {Georgie} was wild and noisy." Nevertheless, Martha later moved to Minneapolis and was the means by which Cora ended up meeting and marrying Maurice. (See notes under Cora.)

In the 1900 census, Martha and her first 1st husband lived in Barre, La Crosse County, in a house that they rented. Gabriel is shown as a farm laborer and had been unemployed for three of the previous 12 months. Martha is shown as having borne two children, one still living. Gabriel, Martha, and George are shown as having been born in Wisconsin; Gabriel’s and Martha’s parents were born in Norway.

In the 1905 state census, the family is still in Barre, La Crosse County. Gabriel is 34 and a farm laborer, Martha is 32, and George is 7. They live on a farm that they are renting. Living with them is a 54 year-old boarder named Elisa Olson, who is married.

At the time of the 1910 census (April 27th), Martha and her 2nd husband, Charles Hendrickson, were living at 2630 13th Ave. S. in Minneapolis in a house they owned. (This is the house that we have a picture of as “Aunt Martha’s house.”) The family consisted of Charles, 56, Martha, 40, Charles’s twin sons Carlson and Edgar O., 19, another of Charles’s sons whose name is illegible (may be Adolph), 17, Arthur C., 2, and step-son George Markson (or Markuson?), 12. George and Martha were born in Wisconsin, Charles in Norway, and everyone else in Minnesota. Charles’s occupation is blacksmith at some type (illegible) of shop. Edgar O. is a pipefitter at a hardware company. Carlson is a helper at a tile company. The illegible one is a laborer. Martha and Charles had been married three years. Martha is shown as having had three children, two living.

Martha and her 2nd husband, Charles Hendrickson, were visited by the 1920 census enumerator in January, 1920, when the family lived at 4032 11th Avenue.

They were still at that same location at the time of the 1930 census. The home was valued at $4500 and Charles and Martha owned it. They had a radio. The household consisted of Charles C., 77, his wife Martha, 57, their daughter Myrtle H. Carter, 20, their son-in-law Frank N. Carter, 23, and their grandson Frank N., 1-1/2. Charles is a stationary engineer at a knitting mill, Frank is a clerk at a railroad office. Neither man is a veteran. Martha is shown as first married at age 30.

In the 1940 census, Martha was a widow living at 4032 11th Avenue S. with her son, her son’s three children, and a “lodger” named Anna Petrin.

Death certificate 1943-MN-020813 was issued in Hennepin County for a “Martha Hendrickson” with a date of death of June 25, 1943.

Martha’s obituary appeared in the Sunday, June 27th edition of the Minneapolis Tribune. It said that she died on Friday, June 25th, at her home at 4032 11th Avenue South. She was survived by Mrs. Frank N. Carter of Minneapolis, George M. of St. Cloud, Arthur C. of Minneapolis, 5 grandchildren, and 3 sisters. She was a member of Alfheim Lodge #43. Services were to be on Monday, June 28th, at 1 PM at the Enger Funeral Home with interment at Lakewood.

Her daughter Myrtle was the informant for her mother’s death certificate. Martha died from colon cancer. Her residence at the time of her death was 4032 11th Avenue.
