Bio
From the Web site: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/county/platte/vitals/vitals1961.html The Columbus Daily Telegram, March 28, 1961 DIED ENGEL--Funeral services for William C. Engel, 88, well-known Platte county resident, will be at 1:15 p.m. Thursday at the Gass Funeral chapel and at 2 p.m. at St. John's Lutheran church, Shell Creek. The Rev. W. H. Saas will officiate. Burial will be in Calvary cemetery. The body will lie in state at the Gass chapel after 11 am. Wednesday. Mr. Engel, a resident of this community since he was a boy, died early Monday afternoon at the Social Center rest home, Osceola. Born Jan. 15, 1873 in Douglas county, Ill., he came to Nebraska at the age of six with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George C. Engel, who located on a farm seven miles northeast of Columbus. He was a lifelong member of St. John's Lutheran church, where he was confirmed, and served a number of years on the church council. He also served on the District 44 school board. On November 30, 1893 he married Clara Rickert at St. John's church, the Rev. G. F. Mueller officiating. They lived on the Engel farm until moving to Columbus in 1951. Their home is at 3017 21st Street. Mr. Engel is survived by his wife; son, Siebert of Columbus; daughter, Mrs. Otto (Katherine) Mueller of Monroe; six grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. The last of his family generation, Mr. Engel was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and three sisters. Two grandsons, Virgil and Orville Mueller are also deceased. Memorials may be given to St. John's Lutheran church, Shell Creek. In the summer of 1923, William was seriously injured when he fell 40 feet from the top of a windmill on his farm. He had climbed the windmill to make repairs. Slipping, he fell through the air, alighting on his feet and then rolling over. He was removed to the Columbus hospital where it was found that one leg was broken and his back severely wrenched.
