  HENRY SCHINKEL. One of the well known Dewald township farmers is Henry

Schinkel, whose place is the southeast quarter of section 11. He owns in

addition 260 acres in section 12 and 527 acres in Pope county, Minn., which

latter he purchased in 1892.



  Mr. Schinkel was born in Grundy county, Iowa, Jan. 3, 1871. His father, Andrew

Schinkel, was born in Germany Sept. 4, 1824. The elder Schinkel came to the

United States when 21 years of age, lived here 6 years and then returned to his

native country, where he resided sixteen years. Coming to America again in 1869,

he made this country his home until his death, which occurred at Worthington

March 14, 1896. The mother of our subject was Mary (Klie) Schinkel. She was born

in Germany Oct. 2, 1828, and died in Grundy county, Iowa, Aug. 6, 1880.



  Until he was twenty years of age Henry Schinkel lived on his father's farm in

Grundy county, Iowa, securing a common school education and assisting in farm

work. In 1891 he came with his father to Nobles county and for a short time

resided on the farm in Dewald township. When he became of age the next year he

went to Colorado Springs, Colo., and there he was employed in mining and other

occupations for two years. Returning to Nobles county, he took charge of his

father's farm and managed that for six years. After his father's death in 1896

he purchased the interests of the other heirs in the home farm, and latter

purchased the other property which he now owns. For a few years he turned the

management of the farm over to a renter, and for about one year of this time

resided in Pope county, Minn., looking after his business interests there. He

again took possession of his Dewald township farm in 1903s and that has since

been his home.



  Mr. Schinkel was married at Worthington Nov. 11, 1902, to Lizzie Baker,

daughter of Geo. Baker. Mrs. Schinkel was born in Chicago. To this union has

been born one child—Millie—born Feb. 11, 1904.
