Angelbeck, Henry (page 675), now living retired in Plainview after an
active agricultural career in Highland Township, was born in Germany,
where he grew to manhood. Like other German youths, he was obliged to
serve in the army, and took part in the Franco-German war of 1870. In 1872
he came to the United States, first locating in Cincinnati, where he
remained for a year. Then coming to Wabasha County, Minnesota, he bought
and settled on 160 acres of land in Glasgow Township. The tract was wild
and largely covered with timber, which he cleared off, first building a
small log house. In 1897 he moved to Highland Township, buying 175 acres
in sections 4 and 9. On this farm in 1897 he built a new frame house of
nine rooms; a barn 30 by 68 feet, and a granary 30 by 34, with a lean-to
14 by 34. Here he farmed successfully until 1909, in which year he retired
and removed to Plainview. Henry Angelbeck married Louise Evers, who, like
himself, was born in Germany. They have had a family of six children, of
whom four are now living: Mary, wife of Frank Deming, Jr.; Lizzie, wife of
George Passe of Merrifield, Minn.; and Theresa, wife of William Passe of
the same place. Those deceased are Henry and Anna. Mr. Angelbeck was
formerly supervisor in Glasgow Township. In religion he and his wife are
Catholics, and are people well known and highly esteemed.
(The biography refers to six children but only lists five, omitting John
J. whose biography appears above. It's interesting that three of the
Angelbeck children married three Passe siblings.)
