M. O. RIEDESEL

Marc O. Riedesel, secretary and treasurer of the Engleson Abstract  Company, 
of Sioux City, was born at Oto, Iowa, on the 19th day of September,  1896, and 
is a son of Paul G. and Rose (Frieden) Riedesel.  His father, who  was born 
and reared in Clinton county, Iowa, removed to Oto in 1890 and engaged  in the 
banking business.  He became a man of prominence and influence in  teh 
community and held the office of mayor.  Eventually, on retiring from  active 
business, he moved to Sioux City, where he and his wife are now living.  The mother

was born in Switzerland, whence in young girlhood she was  brought to the 
United States by her parents, who settled near Muscatine, Iowa,  later moving to 
Charter Oak, and then to Denison, Iowa.

Marc O. Riedesel received his elementary education in the public  schools of 
Oto and Onawa, and then engaged in teaching school in Woodbury  county.  Later 
he entered Drake University, where he was graduated with the  degree of 
Bachelor of Science in 1919, and immediately afterwards came to Sioux  City and has

since been identified with the Engleson Abstract Company.  He  was made 
secretary and treasurer of the company in 1921, in which capacity he is  still 
serving.  He has proven himself a man of sterling character and  reliable business 
ability and enjoys the full confidence of all who have had  dealings with him.
Politically Mr. Riedesel gives his earnest support to the  republican party 
and takes a commendable interest in all affairs affecting the  welfare of his 
community.  He is a member of Smithland Lodge, No. 289,  Ancient Free and 
Accepted Masons; Sioux City Consistory No. 5, Ancient Accepted  Scottish Rite; and 
Abu-Bekr Temple, Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic  Shrine.  He 
also belongs to the Riverside Boat Club and the Phi Beta Kappa  college 
fraternity, while his religious connection is with the Lutheran church.  While a
young 
man he has made steady progress in business and what he has  already 
accomplished augurs well for the future.
