The 1898 birth date is on his WWI draft registration card. There was a William M. Engel born in Pepin County on 30 Dec 1898. Thus, either the baby was unnamed at the time his birth was registered and his father’s name was used instead or else the baby was renamed after the time his birth was registered with the county and state.

In the draft registration, dated September 11, 1918, in Pepin, Stanley claimed to be a laborer at a saw mill run by a J. P. Brootels. He lists his closest relative as his mother, Mrs. Amelia Engel. Stanley is described as of medium height and build with brown eyes and brown hair.

His gravestone, one separate from the larger stone that he shares with Ruby, shows his as Pvt Stanley D Engel, of the STU ARMY TNG CORPS in World War I.

It consisted of the western half of the northwest quarter of Section 14 and the western half of the southwestern quarter of Section 11. This was a 155 acre parcel that was a quarter-mile wide and a mile long with a mile of frontage along Portland Avenue.

The 1898 St. Paul city directory records a William C. Deiters, teamster, living at 62 South Robert with his business at 139 E. Delos. At the Delos address is also Henry F. Deiters, teamster.

William and his wife were living at 463 Charles in St. Paul at the time of the 1900 census. His occupation is, and it’s hard to read, “truckman.”

Listed his business at 139 E. Delos in the 1904 city directory. Residing at 403 Edmund as William C., occupation is teamster.

They were living at 673 Central Avenue in St. Paul at the time of the 1910 census. His occupation is, and again it’s hard to read, “manager, transfer line.”

In both the 1900 as well as the 1910 census, William’s mother is shown as having been born in Missouri.

The 1900 census gave his birthdate as March, 1883.

He registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Willmar, as 35 year-old Edward A. Ellingboe. (This suggests the truth of the 1883 birthdate.) He was a farm laborer on his mother’s farm.

Jackie believes her to be Anne Olsdatter, b. 2 Oct 1861, living with her parents and siblings on the Grof Mellem farm in Buskerud in the 1875 Norwegian census. Jackie has Anne O having Sophie with Sven Engebretsen Viken (b. in Ramsviken, Aal, Hallingdal) in September of 1886.
