The Glabe Family of Central Illinois

Preface

This book includes the stories of Johann Jakob and Anna Katharina Stein Glebe and up to four generations of their descendants. Because this book is provided freely on the Internet, living people are excluded to protect their privacy. As a result, in many cases fewer generations are included, particularly for the descendants of their youngest children, who were born nearly 40 years after their first. Where known, the existence of living spouses and children is noted but no details are included.

The material in this book is drawn from a variety of sources of varying degrees of reliability, as can be seen from the footnotes which identify the source for each piece of information. While every effort has been made to make the information as accurate as possible, errors no doubt remain. I would appreciate hearing about any that are found.

The Glabe Family of Central Illinois

Chapter 1 - The Glabe Family

The Glabe family, in Germany spelled Glebe, originated in Hesse, a province in central western Germany, which in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was a series of independent duchies<1> Our Glebe family is from Niederaula, in the Fulda River Valley about seven miles southwest of the city of Bad Hersfeld and about twelve miles from the former East German boarder. The Glebe family is found in this valley between Hersfeld and Niederaula from the earliest times. There are references to Glebes in Hersfeld from the late 1500's, before the earliest surviving church records.<2>

Based on the Research of Cousin Lee

The major research on the Glabe family in the U.S. and their ancestors in Germany, has been done over the last 45 plus years by the author's first cousin, Lee Pound. He published his early findings, covering the immigrants Jakob and Katharina Glebe and their descendants, in 1969,<1> and a pamplet covering their ancestors in Germany in 1979.<2> He has since posted many of the ancestrial lines on his website.

While Lee's work is the foundation of what is presented in this book, we do not attempt to present the complete scope of his work here, but include only those family members for whom we have found substantital addition details. Readers may also want to consult Lee's website.

The Glabes in this Book

Our record starts with Johann Jakob Glebe and his wife Anna Katharina Stein, known as Jacob and Katherine Glebe after they immigrated with their eldest son. They arrived in New York in May 1847.<3> They settled in Tazewell Co., Illinois, buying a small farm in Washington, in an area called Farmdale. In Tazewell County Jacob prospered and became a prominent man in the community. He was listed as one of the leading citizens in a history of Tazewell County published in 1879.<4> He and his wife had four more sons and a daughter on the farm. By the time of his death he had about 40 grandchildren, who became the progenitors of about half the Glabes in the United States.<1>

One other Glabe family is known to exist in this country, descendants of John Glabe, who came to the U. S. in 1867 from Pomerania, also in present-day Germany. He settled in Chicago and raised his family there. John had four sons and two daughters, Charles, Herman, Louis, Fred, Augusta, and Caroline. Charles went to Rochester, Minnesota about 1890 and had several descendants living in California. It is not known if this family is related to the descendents of Jacob and Katherine in Europe.<1>

The immigrant Jacob and most of his sons were farmers, and apparently successful ones. The later generations gradually followed more diverse career paths. All of Jacob and Katherine's children, about three-quarters of their grandchildren, and half of their great-grandchildren remained in Illinois. About twenty percent of their grandchildren and a quarter of their great-grandchildren ended up in California. The rest were widely scattered throughout the country.

Reading More About Them

To read their stories you can begin with Jacob or Katherine, the immigrant couple who founded the family in central Illinois. While most of their early descendants were quiet farmers, there were some more colorful characters that you might want to read about. They include:

- The husband of Jacob and Katherine's daughter Caroline, Adam Oetzel, who was murdered by his brother-in-law

- Jacob and Katherine's grandson William Glabe, a quiet auditor who "packed heat" in Prohibition-era Peoria, then moved to California in the late 1930's

- Jacob and Katherine's grandson Charles Glabe, whose letter to a pen pal provides a compelling account of Atlantic crossings during WWI

- Jacob and Katherine's great-grandson Kenneth Glabe, who was killed in a contract murder resulting from a love triangle

A short time later they arrived in Tazewell Co., Illinois, and bought a small farm in Washington Twp., in an area called Farmdale. Many other families from the Germanic states also settled in the same area, many of them marrying into the Glabe family.<14>
Johann was known as Jacob Glebe after he immigrated to Illinois. While his children all adopted the spelling Glabe, it is not clear he ever did. His death certificte shows the Glabe spelling, but his tombstone has the traditional Glebe spelling.<1, 15, 16>

He was described as "one of the early settlers of this township, and well and favorably known."<21, 22, 23>

He was confirmed on 8 Apr 1866 in Breitenbach.<15>
Adam immigrated in 1872 and later was naturalized.<16>
Adam married Caroline Glabe, daughter of Johann Jakob Glebe and Anna Katharina Stein, on 18 Jan 1877 in Tazewell Co., Illinois.<7, 8, 9> Adam settled in Farmdale after he immigrated to the United States.<17>
After their marriage, Adam and Caroline lived at the old Glabe homestead in Farmdale, where all of their children were born.<17> They appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Morton Twp., Tazewell Co., Illinois, enumerated 1 Jun 1880. Their daughter Katherine was listed as living with them.<3>
Adam and Caroline appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Washington Twp., Tazewell Co., Illinois, enumerated 22 Jun 1900, reporting the family owned its farm, mortgage free. Their children Katherine, Margaret, Louis, Edward, Nellie, Clara, Rudolph, and Viola were listed as living with them.<16>
Adam was a farmer.<3, 16> On the morning of 13 Mar 1903 as he was working on his farm near Farmdale, William Minch, ex-husband of his sister Margaret, rode up. It seems that he asked for feed for his horse, as they went into the barn and Adam climbed the stairs, apparently to throw down some hay. At this point William shot Adam in the back. Hearing the commotion, Adam's wife in the house sent her sons, Edward and Louis, to the barn. As they approached the barn William came out with his horse. He spoke pleasantly of the weather, asked as to their health and, getting through the gate, rode off. Edward ran into the barn, heard his father groan and found him voiceless and dying at the top of the stairs.<18, 19, 20>
Adam died on 13 Mar 1903 in Farmdale, Illinois, at age 50.<10, 11, 12> He was buried in Farmdale Cemetery, Washington Twp., Tazewell Co., Illinois.<2, 13>

Jacob was worked on a farm, presumably his father's farm, before his marriage. No record has been found of his occupation in Farmdale, so we don't know whether he continued in farming, or learned carpentry there.<20, 21> He was worked as a carpenter after they moved to Peoria, reporting that he worked on houses in Peoria in 1910, and at a stockyard in Chicago 1920 in Peoria.<22, 23, 24, 25>

Research Note, 27 Jun 2001:

There is some confusion in the 1880 Census records for the Goller daughters. Carrie is listed with her husband, but also appears to be the subject of the listing of the oldest daughter at her parents' home. The name on that entry is Amelia Kuecks, which seems to be a combination of her name and Emma's. Also, the age and marital status for that entry seem to have been changed from Emma's to Carrie's information. The occupation shown is domestic service - does that refer to Emma or Carrie? No record for Emma has been found.

In addition, 16 year old "Lizzie" is found listed both in her parents' home and that of her older sister Carrie.<36, 37>

Kerrick of the Bureau of Investigation (later called the FBI) interviewed Henry about the complaints. According to his report Henry "has continued all the time to talk for Germany." He reported that Henry was a member of the Methodist Church choir though not a member of the church, and "at every opportunity during Choir meetings would say something for or in favor of Germany so that even the Choir members became digested with him." He said he was against the war, but refused to answer when asked "Are you for the United States in this War or against it?" Later he said he was "for the United States in some things but against it in others" but refused to elaborate.

Biography:

Catherine Angelia Glabe was born on 25 Sep 1888 in Germanville, Illinois.<4, 5, 6> She appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Germanville Twp., Livingston Co., Illinois, in the household of her parents, John Glabe and Elizabeth Ruppel.<14>
Catherine married Rev. Edmond George Vaubel, son of Adam Vaubel and Mary Ebert, on 16 Dec 1908 in Chatsworth, Illinois.<7, 8, 9>
Her husband's calling as a minister in the Evangelical Association lead to frequent moves for their family.<15, 16, 17, 18>
Catherine and Edmond appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Chatsworth, Livingston Co., Illinois, enumerated 23 Apr 1910, reporting they were renting their home, apparently from her mother, who is listed as living in the same building with Catherine's younger siblings. Their daughter Valera was listed as living with them.<19>
Edmond was transferred from Chatsworth to the church in Pearl City, nearly 170 miles north and west, in May 1910.<20> He was assigned to the church in Malta, about 80 miles east in Apr 1915.<21>
His assignment to the church in Grand Prairie, about 50 miles south and east, was announced in Apr 1919. So it is unclear why they are listed in the 1920 census in Bonfield, some 40 miles south, unless there was a last-minute change in his assignment.<22> They appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Bonfield, Kankakee Co., Illinois, enumerated 30 Jan 1920, reporting they rented their home. Their children Valera, Emerson, and Paul were listed as living with them.<23>
By 1921 he was assigned to Grace Church in Peoria, and they were living at 605 Stanley Ave.<24> He was assigned to the church in Downers Grove, about 150 miles north and east, and only about 20 miles from Chicago, in Apr 1923.<25>
By 1930 he was assigned to the First Evangelical Church in Ottawa, about half way between Downers Grove and Peoria.<26> They appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Ottawa, LaSalle Co., Illinois, at 1114 Illinois Ave., enumerated 16 Apr 1930, reporting they rented their home. Their children Valera, Emerson, and Paul were listed as living with them, although Valera is marked as absent.<27>
He apparently was assigned to a church in Fon du Lac Twp., Tazewell Co., near Peoria, by 1935 as they reported in the 1940 census that he had lived there in 1935. But she was reported to had lived elsewhere, though the name of the town and county cannot be deciphered.<28> He was assigned to the church in Geneseo in Apr 1937.<29>
By 1940 he seems to have been assigned to a church in Peotone, south of Chicago.<30> Catherine and Edmond appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Peotone, Will Co., Illinois, enumerated 13 Apr 1940, reporting that they rented their home, for $25 per month. Their son Paul was listed as living with them. Their two older children, Valera and Emerson, were also listed, but then crossed out, apparently because they had been named by their parents but were not actually living in the household. She was a nurse in the U.S. Navy in San Diego, and he was with his wife of five years and their infant daughter.<28>
Catherine died on 25 Jan 1964 in Washington, Illinois, at age 75, at her home.<8, 10, 11> She was buried on 28 Jan 1964 in Glendale Cemetery, Washington, Illinois, next to her husband.<12, 13>

Biography:

Rev. Edmond George Vaubel was born on 25 Apr 1878 in Fon du Lac, Illinois.<4, 5, 6> He appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Fon du Lac, Tazewell Co., Illinois, in the household of his parents, Adam Vaubel and Mary Ebert.<12> He appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Fon du Lac Twp., Tazewell Co., Illinois, in the household of his parents.<13>
Edmond married Catherine Angelia Glabe, daughter of John Glabe and Elizabeth Ruppel, on 16 Dec 1908 in Chatsworth, Illinois.<7, 8, 9>
He was a minister in the Evangelical Association by 1910, serving in Chatsworth. This denomination, also known as The Evangelical Church after 1922, merged with the United Brethren in Christ in 1946, and with the Methodist Church in 1968 to form the United Methodist Church in 1910.<14, 15, 16, 17>
Edmond and Catherine appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Chatsworth, Livingston Co., Illinois, enumerated 23 Apr 1910, reporting they were renting their home, apparently from her mother, who is listed as living in the same building with Catherine's younger siblings. Their daughter Valera was listed as living with them.<18>
He was transferred from Chatsworth to the church in Pearl City, nearly 170 miles north and west, in May 1910.<19> He was assigned to the church in Malta, about 80 miles east in Apr 1915.<20>
His assignment to the church in Grand Prairie, about 50 miles south and east, was announced in Apr 1919. So it is unclear why they are listed in the 1920 census in Bonfield, some 40 miles south, unless there was a last-minute change in his assignment.<21> They appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Bonfield, Kankakee Co., Illinois, enumerated 30 Jan 1920, reporting they rented their home. Their children Valera, Emerson, and Paul were listed as living with them.<22>
By 1921 he was assigned to Grace Church in Peoria, and they were living at 605 Stanley Ave.<23> He was assigned to the church in Downers Grove, about 150 miles north and east, and only about 20 miles from Chicago, in Apr 1923.<24>
By 1930 he was assigned to the First Evangelical Church in Ottawa, about half way between Downers Grove and Peoria.<25> They appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Ottawa, LaSalle Co., Illinois, at 1114 Illinois Ave., enumerated 16 Apr 1930, reporting they rented their home. Their children Valera, Emerson, and Paul were listed as living with them, although Valera is marked as absent.<26>
He apparently was assigned to a church in Fon du Lac Twp., Tazewell Co., near Peoria, by 1935 as they reported in the 1940 census that he had lived there in 1935. But she was reported to had lived elsewhere, though the name of the town and county cannot be deciphered.<27> He was assigned to the church in Geneseo in Apr 1937.<28>
By 1940 he seems to have been assigned to a church in Peotone, south of Chicago. In the 1940 census he reported he worked 52 weeks the prior year, earning $1,600.<29>
Edmond and Catherine appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Peotone, Will Co., Illinois, enumerated 13 Apr 1940, reporting that they rented their home, for $25 per month. Their son Paul was listed as living with them, Their two older children, Valera and Emerson, were also listed, but then crossed out, apparently because they had been named by their parents but were not actually living in the household. She was a nurse in the U.S. Navy in San Diego, and he was with his wife of five years and their infant daughter.<27>
Edmond registered for the draft for World War II on 27 Apr 1942, while living at Peotone, Will Co., Illinois, reporting he was employed by as a pastor at an Evangelical Church in Peotone.<1>
He was assigned to the church in Woodbine. No further records of his assignments have been found, so he may have retired after that in May 1945 in Woodbine.<30>
His wife died on 25 Jan 1964 in Washington, Illinois.<8, 31, 32>
Edmond died on 18 Sep 1964 in Washington, Illinois, at age 86.<8, 10> He was buried in Glendale Cemetery, Washington, Tazewell Co., Illinois, next to his wife.<11>

Daughter

Verla E. Stumpf+ (b. 18 Oct 1918, d. 7 May 2016)

George and Margaret's daughter may have been adopted. She was apparently their only child, and wasn't born until 11 years after George and Margaret were married. The 1920 and 1940 censuses shows her birth in Missouri while the 1930 census shows her birth in Kansas but all evidence suggests George and Margaret never lived outside of Washington. Lee Pound, while visiting family members in the area in the 1967, was told George and Margaret had no children even though Verla and her husband were living in Washington. Her obituary makes no mention of her parents<18, 19, 20, 21>

Biography:

George Henry Stumpf was born on 24 Oct 1880 in Washington, Illinois.<4, 5> He appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Washington Twp., Tazewell Co., Illinois, in the household of his parents, Henry G. Stumpf and Victoria Geltmaker.<11>
George married Margaret Anne Oetzel, daughter of Adam Oetzel and Caroline Glabe, about 1907.<6, 7, 8, 9>
George and Margaret appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Washington Twp., Tazewell Co., Illinois, enumerated 21 Apr 1910, reporting they were renting their farm. Her mother and siblings were apparently living close by, as they are listed immediately preceding.<12>
George registered for the draft for World War I on 12 Sep 1918, while living at Washington, Tazewell Co., Illinois, reporting he was employed as Washington Milling Company, a mill and elevator company in Washington.<1>
George and Margaret appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Washington, Tazewell Co., Illinois, enumerated 5 Jan 1920, reporting that they owned their home, free of mortage. Their daughter Verla was listed as living with them, as was his father, Henry G. Stumpf.<13>
George and Margaret appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Washington, Tazewell Co., Illinois, on Jefferson St., enumerated 3 Apr 1930, reporting that they owned a home valued at $3,000, and owned a radio. Their daughter Verla was listed as living with them, as was her sister, Clara M. Oetzel.<14>
He was a farmer in 1910, but by 1920 was working as a laborer in a mill and elevator. By 1930 he was a salesman for a grain elevator, but was apparently a laborer again later in life.<15, 16, 17, 18>
George died on 11 Mar 1938 in Washington, Tazewell Co., Illinois, at age 57.<10> He was buried on 14 Mar 1938 in Glendale Cemetery, Washington, Tazewell Co., Illinois.<10>

Family:

Child with Margaret Anne Oetzel (b. 26 Jul 1880, d. 18 Jun 1943)

Daughter

Verla E. Stumpf+ (b. 18 Oct 1918, d. 7 May 2016)

George and Margaret's daughter may have been adopted. She was apparently their only child, and wasn't born until 11 years after George and Margaret were married. The 1920 and 1940 censuses shows her birth in Missouri while the 1930 census shows her birth in Kansas but all evidence suggests George and Margaret never lived outside of Washington. Lee Pound, while visiting family members in the area in the 1967, was told George and Margaret had no children even though Verla and her husband were living in Washington. Her obituary makes no mention of her parents<19, 20, 21, 22>

His first wife, Almarie Peel, and their daughter, Frances, appear to be listed with him. However the record is in some doubt because both his wife and child are recorded as Ruth, a name neither of them ever used.<20> Further, family oral history has them as engaged in custody litigation in connection with divorce proceedings about two years before this. However, neither Almarie nor their daughter can be found elsewhere in the 1930 census.<21>

Mother

Margaret Anne Oetzel (b. 26 Jul 1880, d. 18 Jun 1943)

Key Events:

- Birth:   18 Oct 1918, Missouri<4, 5, 6>

- Marriage:   14 Aug 1938, Washington, Illinois, Ira William Miller (b. 3 Feb 1912, d. 23 Mar 1992)<7, 8>

- Death:   7 May 2016<4>

Biography:

Verla E. Stumpf was born on 18 Oct 1918 in Missouri.<4, 5, 6>
She appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Washington, Tazewell Co., Illinois, in the household of her parents, George Henry Stumpf and Margaret Anne Oetzel.<9> She appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Washington, Tazewell Co., Illinois, in the household of her parents.<10>
She was a sales woman at Block and Kuhl Co. in 120-126 S Adams, Peoria, a dry goods retailer selling clothing, furniture, books, and appliances. She was apparently still living at home in Washington Twp in 1938.<11>
Verla married Ira William Miller, son of Clayton W. Miller and Louise Schoch, on 14 Aug 1938 in Washington, Illinois.<7, 8>
Verla and Ira appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Washington, Tazewell Co., Illinois, enumerated 12 Apr 1940, reporting they owned a home valued at $3,500, and had lived in the same town in 1935. Their son David was listed as living with them.<12>
Her husband died on 23 Mar 1992 in 205 Lincoln St., Washington, Illinois.<13>
Verla moved to Oxford, Ohio, about 2003 to be with her daughter and son-in-law.<14>
Verla died on 7 May 2016 at age 97.<4>

Research Note, 8 Oct 2018:

Verla may have been adopted. She was apparently the only child of George and Margaret, and wasn't born until 11 years after they were married. The 1920 and 1940 censuses shows her birth in Missouri while the 1930 census shows her birth in Kansas, but all evidence suggests George and Margaret never lived outside of Washington. Lee Pound, while visiting family members in the area in the 1967, was told George and Margaret had no children even though Verla and her husband were living in Washington. Her obituary makes no mention of her parents.<15, 16, 17, 18>

William F. Glabe
Family Photo

He appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Peoria Twp., Peoria Co., Illinois, in the household of his parents.<19>
He became a driver for Charles Fieselmann Meat Market, located at 119 North Washington, by 1899, when he was 16 years old. He worked there until about 1902, when he became a driver for Planck Brothers laundry, at 424 Fulton.<20, 21>
He began working for the railroads about 1903, when he was a clerk for the Illinois Central. After working there about two years, he took a similar postion with the Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis Railway, where he worked until 1912.<22, 23, 24>
William married first Estella Pearl Watson, daughter of John Quincy Watson and Lucy Florence Walker, on 15 Nov 1906 in Peoria, Illinois.<8, 9, 10>
William and Estella lived at 1804 North Monroe, in Peoria for a short time after their marriage. Family tradition held that they lived in various cities because of his work for the railroad. His daughter, Carmen, recalled seeing postcards he wrote to his wife during that time, which included the period around her birth, which was in Missouri. But the city directories show his residence in Peoria every year except 1908, so assignments out of town must have been the exception rather than the rule.<25, 26>
William and Estella returned to Peoria by 1909, and lived there with her parents at 408 Chestnut breifly.<27> They moved to 1705 N. Monroe St. the following year.<28> They appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois, at 1705 N. Monroe St., enumerated 15 Apr 1910. Their children Carmen and Carrie were listed as living with them.<29> They then moved to 436 First Ave. then moved to 608 Cornhill the following year.<30>
About 1913 William began working as an auditor for the Jefferson Hotel, supposedly the best in Peoria. In a 1914 advertisement, the hotel called itself "Peoria's New Hotel," with 225 rooms each with private bath, a rate of $1.50 per day European plan, three cafes, two buffets, and a billiard room. Cigars, a barber shop, flowers, and stenographer services were available. One might suspect that William had some help obtaining his job, as Arthur Lehmann, brother of his older sister Minnie's husband, was secretary and treasurer of the company that owned the hotel.<31, 32>

Jefferson Hotel, Peoria
Local History and Genealogy Collection,
Peoria Public Library, Peoria, Illinois

William worked at the Jefferson until about 1920. That job required him to take the hotel's receipts to the bank for deposit, and he carried a revolver when he did so. That revolver was the subject of some discussion with his grandchildren years later when they found it in the linen closet.<33, 34, 35>
About 1915 the family moved to 1211 East Gift Ave., where they lived for about four years.<36, 37> William and Estella moved to 314 N. Elmwood Ave. about 1920, the home he owned until he and his second wife moved to California about 1939.<38, 39> They appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois, at 314 N. Elmwood Ave., enumerated 14 Jan 1920. Their children Carmen, Florence, and Jessie were listed as living with them.<40> Estella's parents, Lucy and John Quincy Watson, lived with them there for a brief time about 1918.<41, 42, 43>
His wife died on 6 Nov 1924 in 314 Elmwood Ave., Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois.<44, 45>
William married second Marie Belle Neiphagen, daughter of William Charles Niephagen and Aloria Antoinette Bliss, on 23 Mar 1926 in Peoria, Illinois.<11, 12, 13>
William and Marie appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois, at 314 North Elmwood Ave., enumerated 9 Apr 1930, reporting that the family owned a home valued at $10,000, and owned a radio. His children Carmen, Florence, and Jessie were listed as living with him.<46>
About 1921 William left the hotel and became an auditor for Federal Baking and Pastry Co. He remained with that firm until about 1932, raising to secretary-treasurer of the firm by 1930. His daughter Carmen recalled her father working at the hotel until he was laid off during the Depression, then venturing to California. But the records show he left the hotel long before, and in fact worked longer for the bakery than he had for the hotel. Perhaps the hotel position seemed more prestigious and was thus more memorable.<47, 48, 49, 26>
It seems likely that the bakery failed about 1932. In the 1933 city directory William is listed without an employer, and the company is no longer listed. In 1934 he was employed as an office manager for another baker, John H. Mason, apparently a small firm at 810 Lincoln Ave. The following year he was listed as an auditor of the firm, now called Lincoln Park Bakery, and continued in that position until 1938.<50>
According to his daughter Carmen's recollection, after being laid off by the hotel, he worked at a dairy in Peoria. While at the dairy, he met people who had a recipe for cottage cheese, and he joined them in a venture in Pasadena, California, to produce cottage cheese. His role was to do the books. While there, he lived with an aunt, probably his mother's sister, Elizabeth and her husband Jonathan A. Schureman, who lived there at the time.<26> While records do not record him ever working for a dairy, the general thrust of the account is no doubt true. The California adventure seems most likely to have happened in 1933, when William is listed without an employer in Peoria, and the family is listed at 108 Sherwood Ave. rather that the home they owned on Elmwood, where they lived before and after that year. Further, the aunt he presumably lived with in Pasadena died in Nov 1934.<51>
His wife Marie, and two unmarried daughters, Carmen and Jessie, drove from Peoria to Pasadena to join him. Along the way they visited the John Wiests (William's sister and brother-in-law) in Phoenix, where they had moved from Illinois. Carmen returned to Peoria to her job, while Marie and Jessie remained until the cheese business failed, when William, Marie, and Jessie all drove back to Peoria.<26, 52>
According to family lore, upon their return, William sold their home in Peoria, and shortly after moved with Marie to Chico, California. Records indicate that it was actually several years later, but they did apparently move in 1938 or 1939. Daughter Carmen is the only one listed in the family home in Peoria in 1939.<26, 52, 53>
William, his brother-in-law John and John's brother Henry all moved their families to Chico, to open an International Harvester dealership there. According to family lore, John knew of an opening there, likely because of his work with the company in Phoenix. The business, called North Valley Tractor and Equipment Company, opened at 820 Broadway, probably very late in 1938. It does not appear in the 1939 city directory, which was apparently prepared late in the prior year, but does in the 1940 edition. Further, each of them reported working 52 weeks in 1939.<54, 26, 52> John was president and headed the sales force, Henry was vice president, and William was secretary and acted as bookkeeper.<55, 56, 57, 58>
William and Marie appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Chico, Butte Co., California, at 1321 Oleander, enumerated 4 Apr 1940, reporting they owned a home valued at $4,600.<59>
By 1945 the business had moved to new quarters at 2450 Park Ave., and John and Henry's brother Jack had joined the business as a salesman.<60> William's brother Charles worked at the business as a parts man for a time about 1950.<61>
William continued to work at North Valley Tractor until about 1950, when heart trouble forced him to retire. Difficulties with a tax audit brought him back to work briefly. Anxieties over this and growing tensions with John's management of the business, leading to it's closing by 1953, were seen by his family as the cause of additional heart problems that lead to his death in 1954, causing a permanent rift between the families.<35, 62>

William F. Glabe
R. L. Pound photo

When they moved to Chico they bought a new home at 1321 Oleander in a then newly developing area on the north edge of town. It was a trim two-bedroom stucco house in what was probably then considered a modern style, with hip roof, little overhang, and casement windows. It had an "H" plan, with pantry, kitchen and dining room in one leg, bedrooms and bath in the other, and the living room connecting the two. Nestled in the rear was a screened porch. Built before the advent of air conditioning, the house nevertheless always seemed comfortable even in the hot summer days in the Northern Sacramento Valley. Probably part of the reason was that the living room was always dark because the drapes were always drawn. There was a detached two-car garage and a shady yard that was always bordered by flower gardens.<35, 63>
He was an avid gardener, intensively tending the lawn, flowerbeds, and usually a small vegetable patch. The neighborhood dogs that left their calling cards on the front lawn, creating spots of dead grass, were a particular vexation to him.<35>
His second passion was woodworking. He built a woodworking shop in the garage, cleverly tucking machines and supplies around the building to maximize use of available space. Among the first of his power tools was an early Shop Smith multi-function tool (bench saw, lathe, band saw, disk sander, drill press, and more). He was fond of building toys for his grandchildren. The birth of his granddaughter, Judy, offered particular opportunities for building, including a dollhouse, a child-sized tea table and chairs, and a china cabinet.<35>
They had one of the first television sets in Chico, requiring a steel tower in the back yard for the antenna to pick up stations in Sacramento until Chico finally got it's own station some years later. At Christmas time a near perfect tree was placed next to the TV. No doubt part of the perfection was "Grandpa's" habit of relocating branches to fill in holes in the tree's natural structure, and cutting and splicing the Christmas light strings to ensure there were enough bulbs in all the right places. The pre-war glass ornaments, which could no longer be bought after the war, added to the special memories of these trees.<35>
He seemed to enjoy his grandchildren (Carmen and her family lived nearby, six miles outside of Chico, while Flossie lived on Long Island, New York, and Jessie in Placentia, an hour's drive south of Los Angeles). He and Marie would drive (actually, she usually drove the Studebaker) out to Carmen's house in the evenings to "see the sunset" and visit. Or they would have one of the grandchildren "in town" for a few days at their house. During these visits, "Grandpa" would take his young visitor for a walk around nearby blocks, exploring whatever was new. A house under construction was certain to need exploration. Short in stature, and always a bit stocky, he created a model of the archetypical grandfather which served his grandsons decades later when they had a chance to serve in that role.<35>
William died on 18 Mar 1954 in Chico, Butte Co., California, at age 71.<8, 14, 15> He was buried on 20 Mar 1954 in Chico Cemetery, Chico, California, in the "Old Masonic Section" (but not the oldest Masonic section.)<16>

William and Stella have long been thought to have had only three daughters. However, the evidence of the 1910 census is compelling. It shows two young girls in the household, Corrinne E. and Carrie, both identified as daughters of William. Stella is shown as the mother of two children both living. Corrinne has to be Carmen, apparently known then as Corrinne, after her father's sister. The two other known daughters of William and Stella, Flossie and Jessie, are known to have been born in 1911 and 1918, so neither could be the Carrie listed in the 1910 census. Efforts to locate birth or death records for Carrie in Illinois have been unsuccessful<29>

Estella married William Frederick Glabe, son of Jacob Glabe and Emma Amelia Goller, on 15 Nov 1906 in Peoria, Illinois.<8, 9, 10>
Estella and William lived at 1804 North Monroe, in Peoria for a short time after their marriage. Family tradition held that they lived in various cities because of his work for the railroad. His daughter, Carmen, recalled seeing postcards he wrote to his wife during that time, which included the period around her birth, which was in Missouri. But the city directories show his residence in Peoria every year except 1908, so assignments out of town must have been the exception rather than the rule.<15, 16>
Estella and William returned to Peoria by 1909, and lived there with her parents at 408 Chestnut breifly.<17> They moved to 1705 N. Monroe St. the following year.<18> They appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois, at 1705 N. Monroe St., enumerated 15 Apr 1910. Their children Carmen and Carrie were listed as living with them.<19> They then moved to 436 First Ave. then moved to 608 Cornhill the following year.<20>
About 1915 the family moved to 1211 East Gift Ave., where they lived for about four years.<21, 22> Estella and William moved to 314 N. Elmwood Ave. about 1920, the home he owned until he and his second wife moved to California about 1939.<23, 24> They appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois, at 314 N. Elmwood Ave., enumerated 14 Jan 1920. Their children Carmen, Florence, and Jessie were listed as living with them.<25> Estella's parents, Lucy and John Quincy Watson, lived with them there for a brief time about 1918.<26, 27, 28>
Estella died on 6 Nov 1924 in 314 Elmwood Ave., Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois, at age 43.<11, 12>
Her daughter Carmen recalls that she was out on a date the evening of her mother's death. Her mother and father had an argument, followed by her mother collapsing on the sofa. When Carmen arrived home her younger sister, Flossie, announced that something had happened. They went to their Aunt Min's house nearby, and she called the doctor.<16> She was buried on 9 Nov 1924 in Springdale Cemetery, Peoria, Illinois.<13>

Family:

Children with William Frederick Glabe (b. 15 Oct 1882, d. 18 Mar 1954)

Daughter

Carmen Edith Glabe (b. 14 Apr 1908, d. 2 Nov 2005)

Daughter

Carrie Glabe (b. abt Mar 1909, d. bet 1910 and 1916)

Daughter

Florence Bernice Glabe+ (b. 13 Sep 1911, d. Jan 1977)

Daughter

Jessie Ruth Glabe (b. 21 May 1918, d. 27 Aug 2007)

William and Stella have long been thought to have had only three daughters. However, the evidence of the 1910 census is compelling. It shows two young girls in the household, Corrinne E. and Carrie, both identified as daughters of William. Stella is shown as the mother of two children both living. Corrinne has to be Carmen, apparently known then as Corrinne, after her father's sister. The two other known daughters of William and Stella, Flossie and Jessie, are known to have been born in 1911 and 1918, so neither could be the Carrie listed in the 1910 census. Efforts to locate birth or death records for Carrie in Illinois have been unsuccessful<19>

Biography:

Marie Belle Neiphagen was born on 23 Sep 1898 in Illinois.<4, 5, 6> She appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Bloomington, McLean Co., Illinois, in the household of her parents, William Charles Niephagen and Nettie Bliss.<16>

Marie Belle Neiphagen
family photo

She appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Bloomington, McLean Co., Illinois, in the household of her parents.<17>
Marie married first William Frederick Glabe, son of Jacob Glabe and Emma Amelia Goller, on 23 Mar 1926 in Peoria, Illinois.<7, 8, 9>
Marie and William appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois, at 314 North Elmwood Ave., enumerated 9 Apr 1930, reporting that the family owned a home valued at $10,000, and owned a radio.<18>
William went to Pasadena, California, about 1933 for a time to pursue a cottage cheese business there.<19> While he was there Marie and two of her stepdaughters, Carmen and Jessie, drove there to visit him.<19, 20>
According to family lore, upon their return, William sold their home in Peoria, and shortly after moved with Marie to Chico, California. Records indicate that it was actually several years later, but they did apparently move in 1938 or 1939. Daughter Carmen is the only one listed in the family home in Peoria in 1939.<19, 20, 21>
Marie and William appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Chico, Butte Co., California, at 1321 Oleander, enumerated 4 Apr 1940, reporting they owned a home valued at $4,600.<22>
When they moved to Chico they bought a new home at 1321 Oleander in a then newly developing area on the north edge of town. It was a trim two-bedroom stucco house in what was probably then considered a modern style, with hip roof, little overhang, and casement windows. It had an "H" plan, with pantry, kitchen and dining room in one leg, bedrooms and bath in the other, and the living room connecting the two. Nestled in the rear was a screened porch. Built before the advent of air conditioning, the house nevertheless always seemed comfortable even in the hot summer days in the Northern Sacramento Valley. Probably part of the reason was that the living room was always dark because the drapes were always drawn. There was a detached two-car garage and a shady yard that was always bordered by flower gardens.<23, 24>
Her husband died on 18 Mar 1954 in Chico, Butte Co., California.<25, 26, 27>
Marie married second Kenneth Swearingen say 1958 in Reno, Nevada.<10>
After their marriage, Marie and Kenneth Swearingen lived in the house on Oleander St. that she and her first husband had long owned.<28, 23>
Kenneth died in Jul 1973 in Chico, Butte Co., California.<29> After Kenneth's death she moved to Placentia, California, to live near her youngest step-daughter, Jessie.<23>
Marie died on 2 May 1983 in Placentia, Orange Co., California, at age 84.<11, 12, 13> She was buried on 5 Jun 1983 in Chico Cemetery, Chico, California, in the Masonic section of Chico Cemetery next to her first husband, William Glabe.<14, 15>

He arrived in Boston, Massachusetts, with his parents, Johann Wiest and Elizabeth Schmidt, on 12 Jul 1907, aboard the S. S. Cymric, having departed Liverpool 3 Jul 1907.<13, 14, 15>

John R. Wiest about 1948
R. L. Pound photo

He apparently used the German spelling Johann Wiest originally, but adopted the Americanized spelling John after immigrating.<16, 2, 17>
He appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Adams Co., North Dakota, in the household of his parents.<18>
John enlisted in Company D, 2nd Infantry, Illinois National Guard, in Chicago, on 23 Aug 1915. He was called into Federal service on 19 Jun 1916 for Mexican border duty and served there until discharged on 5 Oct 1916, when he resumed National Guard status. He was called into Federal service again during on 15 Jul 1917, when he served in Company D, 2nd Infantry, Illinois National Guard (Company D, 132nd Infantry) until 11 Apr 1918. He then served in Company E, 108th Supply Train, until he was discharged at Camp Grant, Illinois, on 5 Jun 1919. He became a bugler 23 Aug 1917, a private 11 Apr 1918, and a private 1st class 1 Apr 1919. He was overseas from 22 May 1918 until 22 May 1919, where his unit was engaged in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, and in defensive action at Troyon and Verdun-Fromereville (Lorraine.)<17>
John appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Barrington, Illinois, on Hough St., enumerated 3 Jan 1920, in a boarding house kept by Kenneth Peeke. His future wife was listed around the corner on Station St.<19>
It appears that as they grew older John and his brothers attempted to conceal their actual birth place. In the 1930 and 1940 census John reported that he had been born in North Dakota, and gave the same information to his nephew Lee Pound when he was researching the family history in the late 1960's. Jack reported the same in the 1940 census, and his death records show that he was born in that state as well. Henry reported in 1940 that he was born in Montana. The reason may well have been the widespread antipathy toward eastern Europeans after the first World War.<20, 21, 22, 23, 24>
John married Ethel Marie Glabe, daughter of Jacob Glabe and Emma Amelia Goller, on 29 Oct 1924 in Barrington, Illinois.<8, 9, 10>
John and Ethel appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois, at 7005 South Artesian Ave., enumerated 5 Apr 1930, reporting that the family rented its home, paying $55.50 per month. Their son Roger was listed as living with them.<25>
John and Ethel moved to Phoenix, Arizona, by 1932, when they were living at 1154 E. Willetta.<26> By 1935 they had moved to moved to 83 Cypress, and had her sister Corrine was living with them.<27, 28>
He was a garage owner in 1920, and a mechanic in a machine shop by 1930.<29, 30> By 1935 he was a department superintendent for International Harvester in 1935 in Phoenix, Arizona.<31>
John and Ethel moved to Chico, California, with their son Roger and her sister Corrine in 1938 or 1939.<32>
John, his brother Henry and John's brother-in-law, William Frederick Glabe, all moved their families to Chico, to open an International Harvester dealership there. According to family lore, John knew of an opening there, likely because of his work with the company in Phoenix. The business, called North Valley Tractor and Equipment Company, opened at 820 Broadway, probably very late in 1938. It does not appear in the 1939 city directory, which was apparently prepared late in the prior year, but does in the 1940 edition. Further, each of them reported working 52 weeks in 1939.<33, 34, 35> John was president and headed the sales force, Henry was vice president, and William was secretary and acted as bookkeeper.<36, 37, 38, 39>
John and Ethel appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Chico, Butte Co., California, at 183 E. 4th Ave., enumerated 4 Apr 1940, reporting they owned a home valued at $4,800. Their son Roger was listed as living with them, as was her sister, Corrine.<40>
By 1945 the business had moved to new quarters at 2450 Park Ave., and John and Henry's brother Jack had joined the business as a salesman.<41>
By 1945 John, Ethel, their son Rodger, and her sister Corrine had moved to a roomy home east of town, facing Bidwell Park.<42, 43> William's brother Charles worked at the business as a parts man for a time about 1950.<44>
William Glabe's health forced him to retire from North Valley Tractor about 1950, and John's wife Ethel took the title of secretary-treasurer. But the business declined and by 1953 was closed.<45, 35> By 1955 John, Ethel and Corrine had moved to a small house at 1904 Palm Ave.<46> John was listed as a salesman for Thompson Diggs in the 1955 city directory, and was listed as a salesman, without affiliation, the following year.<47>
By 1958 John, Ethel, and apparently Corrine, had moved to Redding, California, where he was the manager of the Commercial Motel, at 2035 Market. They were listed as living at the same address, presumably in a manager's apartment in the building.<48> A year later John was managing the Town House Lodge, at 3915 S.

John died on 29 May 1982 in Redding, Shasta Co., California, at age 84.<11, 12>

Biography:

Charles Elmer Arthur Glabe was born on 3 Jan 1898 in Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois.<4, 5, 6>
He appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Peoria Twp., Peoria Co., Illinois, in the household of his parents, Jacob Glabe and Emma Amelia Goller.<11> He appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois, in the household of his parents.<12> He moved to Chicago about 1913 with his parents.<13>
Charles enlisted in the U. S. Navy on 20 May 1918 and was sent to the training center at Great Lakes, Illinois.<14, 15>

U.S.S. Antigone underway with troops
U.S. Navy photo

After his training he was stationed as a seaman on the U.S.S. Antigone, a transport ship ferrying troops to France and bringing injured troops home. In a letter he wrote to a pen pal on 18 Aug 1918 after returning from one of those trips he described it in detail. He said his was one of about 15 transports leaving New York, carrying about 60,000 troops in total. Five destroyers and a battleship departed with them. The seamen stood four-hour watches as lookouts, and when not on watch stood by the lifeboats to be ready to lower them if needed. On two occasions submarines were sighted and fired upon by the escort vessels. The last two days, as they neared France, the escorts were increased to a total of 15 destroyers, five seaplanes, and two dirigibles.<16>
For the return trip about 500 wounded soldiers were boarded. They were part of a convoy for the first two days, then the ships were separated in a storm. Near Greenland one of the engines on his ship failed so they had to limp home on one engine. It remained stormy, and the seamen "almost froze" when they were on watch, especially when a big wave would come over the top and soak them. He said most of the sailors got seasick; he didn't get "real sick" but "sick enough to suit me."<16>
The U.S.S. Antigone was originally a German ship, launched as the Neckar in 1900, seeing service carrying immigrants to the United States. Her owners sought sanctuary for her in Baltimore when war broke out in 1914. She was seized by the U. S. after war was declared on Germany in Apr 1917 and turned over to the Navy. After conversion as a troop transport she was re-commissioned 5 Sep 1917 under her new name. She was 518 feet in length, capable of 14 knots, and mounted four five-inch guns and two machine guns.<17>

Biography:

Carmen Edith Glabe was born on 14 Apr 1908 in Chafee, Missouri.<4, 5, 6> She was baptized on 23 Aug 1908 in First German Methodist Episcopal Church, Peoria, Illinois.<10>
Carmen's given name was unsettled for years. Her baptismal certificate, in 1908, clearly shows it as Carmen Edith. On the 1910 census it is reported as Corrine E., apparently after her father's sister, suggesting that name was used for a while. But later records use the original name. Her middle name, Edith, is after her mother's sister, Edith Laura Watson. For a period she went by Edith, rather than Carmen, and many of her relatives in Illinois used that name when corresponding with her years later.<1, 11, 2>

Carmen Glabe, about 1925

She appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois, in the household of her parents, William Frederick Glabe and Estella Pearl Watson.<12>
She appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois, in the household of her parents.<13> This home was in a pleasant residential section of Peoria about a block away from her mother's sister and her husband, Minnie and Edwin Lehman.<14, 15, 16>
Her mother died when she was 16, and her father re-married a year and half later.<17, 18>
After graduating from Peoria High School she attended Bradley College.<19> While she was in high school, she learned to drive her Uncle Edwin's car. He was involved in a number of businesses, and allowed her to drive him around town to his business appointments. She was impressed, because her father would not allow her to drive his car, but Uncle Ed allowed both her and her cousin Joe Prenger, Jr. to drive his.<11> Carmen Edith Glabe obtained one of the first Illinois driver's licenses, and her Social Security number was issued the first year Social Security numbers were issued.<11>
She was working as a stenographer at Illinois Underwriters Corp in 1928, at age 20.<20> She appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois, in the household of her father and stepmother, Marie Belle Neiphagen.<21>
She was worked in a law office, then in 1930 was working as a stenographer at Commercial Credit Trust Co., where she continued until about 1932.<22, 23, 24> Carmen Edith Glabe was a stenographer with Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co. in 1933, becoming a bookeeper there the next year, and a cashier by 1936 in 1933.<25> She was working as a stenographer at Central City Loan and Homestead Association by 1937, and continued there until she moved to California.<26, 19> She active in Delta Theta Tau, a national philanthropic sorority, becoming president of the Peoria affiliate.<19> When Jessie finished her training, she and Carmen went to Chico also. Jessie left a boyfriend in Peoria, and broke up with him after being in Chico a while.<11>
She first came to California when she drove with her stepmother, Marie, and sister, Jessie, from Peoria to Pasadena to see her father who was then working there in a cottage cheese business. Carmen recalled this was the first time she had driven in the mountains. At one point she "gave up", and told her step-mother that "if we're going any further you will have to drive." She did. After a vacation, she returned to Peoria to her job. When the cheese business failed, her parents and younger sister returned to Peoria briefly, and her parents then moved to Chico, California to operate a tractor dealership.<11>
Carmen remained in Peoria until Jessie finished her nurse's training, when both of them went to Chico about Apr 1940. Carmen had a "good job" in Peoria, which she left with the expectation that she would return, and both she and Jessie had boyfriends there. Carmen recalled that she had many friends that were moving to California, and that she had "loved" California on her first visit, to Pasadena. She was attracted by the beaches, and the romance of Hollywood.<11, 27>
She met her future husband when he was working in the equipment repair shop of the tractor dealership. She says she "watched" the guys working there, and "chased him." She said they went to a show a couple of times. She had known him about 3 months when he was transferred to Willows, California to demonstrate and sell tractors at branch office of the dealership there. So they got married. She recalled he had $100, and she had spent all her savings on vacation trips after coming to California. About this time her boyfriend in Peoria sent her money for a return ticket there, and she responded that she was getting married.<11>
Carmen married Vernon Howard Reigel, son of Frank William Reigel and Emma Sophia Gapsch, on 29 Dec 1940 at the Reno Methodist Parsonage, Reno, Nevada, pastor William Case officiating. Her father and stepmother in were there, and they were attended by her sister Jessie and his friend Norval Martin.<7, 8>
After their marriage they lived briefly in Willows, Glenn Co., where Vernon managed a branch of the Tractor Company.<11, 28, 29>

Carmen and Vernon's first home in Chico
photo by Carmen Reigel

Vernon and Carmen bought their first house, at 1017 Palm Ave., Chico, on 25 Jun 1941, with a $100 down payment. They purchased it at the urging of her father, William Glabe. They moved in shortly before their first son was born. Vernon started working at the Chico Army airbase as an airplane mechanic when they moved from Willows to Chico.<30, 31>
They sold that home after buying another home on Burnap Ave. on 12 Apr 1943. That property included five acres of land. Their second was born while they lived there. About this time, Vernon's good friend Granville Wilson and his girlfriend from Orland stayed overnight at Richardson Springs, and she stopped by to borrow Carmen's fur wrap for the occasion. He left for the Army shortly after that, where he was killed in action.<32, 33, 31>
Vernon brought home lugs of peaches to can, and he helped can them while the baby was in his buggy. They grew hay on the land, and Carmen's father suffered his first heart attack after helping cut the hay. Their third son was born shortly before they sold that home. Carmen recalled feeling that every time she came home from the hospital with a new baby she would find that Vernon had sold the house.<31>

Carmen Glabe Reigel, about 1990

They sold that property on 6 Apr 1945, and bought a house in town on 2 May 1945, a few blocks from her parents' home. The family lived there for several months before moving to the farm. Their toddler slept in a crib and the new baby in a basket. They had a garden in the backyard.<34, 35, 31>
They sold the house in town less than two months later, on 21 May 1945, but apparently continued to live there briefly. They bought the 80-acre farm on Guynn Ave. (now called Tokay Ranch Rd.) in two transactions, on 7 Aug 1945 and 25 Sep 1945. Carmen recalled the deal was some sort of trade for the house in town, and involved one family moving out the back door while the other moved in the front of each house. Carmen recalled pulling up old carpeting and pulling down layers of old wallpaper in this house.<36, 37, 38, 31> Vernon owned a Lafayette car when they were married, which sometimes had to be pushed to start it. She once got on a Farmall tractor to push the car.<31>
Carmen and Vernon purchased the 30 acres on which they would build their new home on 1 May 1951. In 1953 they built there a large home, with a family room, office, and bedrooms for each of their four children.<39>
Her husband died on 23 Feb 1963 in Hamilton City, Glenn Co., California.<40, 41> After Vernon's death Carmen sold the 30 acres with the house, on 10 Nov 1965.<42> On 7 May 1971 she sold the western half of the original 80-acre farm.<43> On 1 Oct 1984 she sold the remainder of the original farm.<44>
Carmen died on 2 Nov 2005 in Sacramento, Sacramento Co., California, at age 97.<9>

Biography:

Vernon Howard Reigel was born on 2 Feb 1912 in La Center, Clark Co., Washington.<3, 4, 5>

Vernon at 8 mo. 5 days
Family Photo

Vernon was raised on a farm three miles from the small town of La Center, Washington.<11, 12> His paternal grandparents lived on the adjacent farm, and his maternal grandparents lived half way to town.<13>
His mother died on 31 Oct 1917, when Vernon was 5 years old.<14, 15> His father re-married 2 years later.<16> The farm apparently could not support the family, and his father worked for extended periods in the logging camps then common in the state for extra income.<17>
Vernon appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of La Center, Washington in the household of his father, Frank William Reigel, and stepmother, Vera Mattie Baird.<18>
He appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of La Center, Washington in the household of his father and stepmother.<19>
According to family lore, when Vernon was about 16 years old he and his brothers took some surplus cream to town and sold it to raise spending money. When they returned home, his stepmother, Vera, demanded the money to buy cigarettes. When Vernon refused, she demanded that Frank have Vernon move out of the home, otherwise she would leave. Vernon chose to leave, and did. He supposedly ended up living with his Uncle Ralph after that. Details, as always with such lore, seem elusive. Ralph was in southern Oregon by 1930, and in California by 1931. And Vernon appears in his father and Vera's home in the 1930 census. But Vernon's high school grades fell to mostly F's in his third year, 1928-29, before recovering to mostly B's in his fifth year. This suggests he may have indeed left home around age 17, despite the census record showing him there in 1930.<20, 21, 22, 23, 24>

Vernon worked for a while as a logger in Oregon, during the time that trees were felled using two-man crosscut saws.<25> He moved to California about 1934, initially to Maxwell, Colusa Co. He probably worked in a number of places after that, including the fruit orchards where his Uncle Ralph and his sons worked.<26, 27, 28>
He eventually he worked for Ernest Michael on a large dry land grain farm on the west side of the Sacramento Valley. The farm was near Germantown, which changed its name to Artios after an unpleasant experience with a troop train during World War I.<25> On the farm he lived in a bunk house with the other young hands. It was there that he met Granville Wilson, establishing a close relationship with the Wilson family. He became known as "Swede" to his friends during this period. He was generally called by that name by them for the rest of his life, though both his family and those he met later knew him as "Vernon."<29, 30>
Vernon appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Glenn Co., California, enumerated 26 Apr 1940, living with five other farm laborers, with his friend Granville Wilson listed as head of household. A cook and his son were also listed. Vernon reported that he has worked 60 hours the last week of March, and had worked 52 weeks the prior year, earning $700.<31>
Shortly after that he left the Michael ranch to work at North Valley Tractor and Equipment, the International tractor dealer in Chico, as a mechanic. While there he met his future wife, the daughter of one of the three owners. By December they were married.<32, 33>
Vernon registered for the draft for World War II on 16 Oct 1940, while living at Artois, Glenn Co., California, reporting he was employed by Ernest Marion Michael, in Artois.<34>
Vernon married Carmen Edith Glabe, daughter of William Frederick Glabe and Estella Pearl Watson, on 29 Dec 1940 at the Reno Methodist Parsonage, Reno, Nevada, pastor William Case officiating. Her father and stepmother in were there, and they were attended by her sister Jessie and his friend Norval Martin.<6, 7>
After their marriage they lived briefly in Willows, Glenn Co., where Vernon managed a branch of the Tractor Company.<32, 35, 36> Vernon Howard Reigel applied for a Social Security Number 2 Jun 1941, while living at 114 Alpine St., Willows, California, where he was employed by North Valley Tractor & Equipment Company.<2>

They moved in shortly before their first son was born. Vernon started working at the Chico Army airbase as an airplane mechanic when they moved from Willows to Chico.<37, 38>
They sold that home after buying another home on Burnap Ave. on 12 Apr 1943. That property included five acres of land. Their second was born while they lived there. About this time, Vernon's good friend Granville Wilson and his girlfriend from Orland stayed overnight at Richardson Springs, and she stopped by to borrow Carmen's fur wrap for the occasion. He left for the Army shortly after that, where he was killed in action.<39, 40, 38>
Vernon brought home lugs of peaches to can, and he helped can them while the baby was in his buggy. They grew hay on the land, and Carmen's father suffered his first heart attack after helping cut the hay. Their third son was born shortly before they sold that home.<38>
They sold that property on 6 Apr 1945, and bought a house in town on 2 May 1945, a few blocks from her parents' home. The family lived there for several months before moving to the farm. Their toddler slept in a crib and the new baby in a basket. They had a garden in the backyard.<41, 42, 38>

Vernon borrowed money from his former employer, Ernest Michael, to finance the purchase of the farm.<43, 44, 45, 38>

Irrigating sugar beets about 1946
photo by Carmen Reigel

Vernon was one of the first farmers in the area to level the land so it could be irrigated by running water down furrows, and raised sugar beets. The development during the war by the University of California at Davis of methods to separate the multiple seeds of the beet's natural seed cluster greatly reduced the manual effort of thinning newly planted crops. That effort, together with the development at the same time of the mechanical beet harvester, attempted at the University, but perfected by Blackwelder of Rio Vista, California, made that crop very successful following the war. Vernon adopted these technologies, and he was soon known locally as the "Sugar Beet King" because he had the largest acreage under contract to the local Holly Sugar plant. Leased land added to the home farm brought total row crop production to over 1000 acres for many years. The leased parcels at various times included major tracts near Hamilton City, to the west in Glenn County, and near Vina, to the north in Tehama County, as well as more nearby locations.<46, 47>
When plant diseases reduced the yields of sugar beets, he experimented with other crops. He was among the first in the area to raise dry beans, then feed corn, and finally tomatoes. Other ventures include raising alfalfa hay and cattle.<46>

Vernon and Carmen purchased the 30 acres on which they would build their new home on 1 May 1951. In 1953 they built there a large home, with a family room, office, and bedrooms for each of their four children.<48> He was a founder of a cooperative formed to build a plant to clean and store beans until they were ready for market. Construction started in 1957, estimated to cost $250,000. The association responded to evolving needs of it's members, adding in the next ten years facilities for distribution of aqueous ammonia fertilizer, and a station for federal inspectors to sample and grade fresh tomatoes being shipped to market. It is now known as North Valley Ag Services, reflecting the sharp decline in bean production in the area and the resulting shift to other services.<49, 50, 51>
Vernon died on 23 Feb 1963 in Hamilton City, Glenn Co., California, at age 51.<8, 9> He was buried on 27 Feb 1963 in IOOF Cemetery, Orland, Glenn Co., California.<10>

Biography:

Karen L. Rodack was born on 24 Oct 1941.<4, 5, 6>
Karen and Thomas W. Riesterer, son of Elmer Riesterer and Agnes, announced their engagement in Sep 1958, stating they intended to marry in June. No record of whether they actually were married has been found.<7>

Karen Rodack Engagement Photo, 1958
from Chicago Tribune

She was an airline stewardess for a time.<14>
Karen married second Kenneth Robert Glabe, son of Robert Henry Glabe and Ruth Fern Shaffner, on 26 Dec 1964 in Libertyville, Illinois.<8, 9>
Kenneth and Karen went out to dinner on the evening of 21 Jun 1971 to celebrate his upcoming 45th birthday. On the drive home she told him she felt ill and asked him to stop the car. When she got out, she told police, she encountered a man who shouted "What the hell are you doing here?" As she screamed for help to her husband, the man hit her and knocked her unconscious. A passing motorist found her by the roadside, and Kenneth's body was found nearby, dead of multiple stab wounds.<15>
Karen married third about 1977.<10>
Her second husband's murder remained unsolved until Apr 1979, when a former Arlington Heights, Illinois, police officer, Preston Scott Haig, was arrested in Roswell, New Mexico, for assaulting his wife. She told police there of his possible involvement in the murder, and he later confessed to investigators from Illinois, saying that he killed Kenneth when he was startled while injecting himself with heroin.<16, 17>
After his return to Illinois, the ex-officer admitted that he had been hired to do the murder by Karen and her new husband, supposedly for a large sum of money from the victim's life insurance settlement. All three of them were charged with murder on 28 Apr 1979.<18, 19> Kenneth's daughter told the press that she thought it odd that police were tying the killing to her father's life insurance, as he had lost a lung to tuberculosis and was therefore a high risk for insurance, but did have a company policy, which was paid to his children. "If they were counting on that money they must have been surprised," she was quoted as saying.<20> The ex-officer pled guilty, with his sentence reduced by a plea bargain in which he agreed to testify against the couple charged with hiring him. He was sentenced 14 Sep 1979 to 14 to 28 years.<21>
Karen and her new husband were tried before a jury, with the trial starting 28 Apr 1980 at Circuit Court, Lake Co., Illinois. An officer testified that when she had asked him at the hospital about the condition of her husband she was very startled when he told her he was well and would be brought to her shortly, but later showed no reaction when viewing his body at the morgue. Other testimony reported that the investigation began to focus on her on July 5. They were observed kissing, embracing, and holding hands on the Glabe's front lawn the day of her husband's funeral while she was wearing a bikini. He had moved into the Glabe home by early August.<22>
It was revealed that Karen received over $57,000 in life insurance, $34,000 in Social Security benefits, and $6,900 from the Veteran's Administration as a result of her husband's death.<23>
The ex-officer testified that the pair had agreed to pay him $5,000 for the murder because Kenneth refused to grant her a divorce, but they had actually paid only $600. He said the plan was for Kenneth and his wife to go to dinner at the Lake-Air Restaurant in Zion, and on the way home she would pretend to be sick and ask him to let her out of the car. She would run up a designated path where the killer was waiting in ambush. The defendants admitted in their testimony that they had an adulterous relationship in 1970, and that she had asked Kenneth for a divorce which he had refused. But they denied planning the murder. He admitted paying the $600, but said it was repayment of a loan. They were convicted by the jury on 6 May 1980, and were sentenced to 35 to 45 years on 2 July, with the judge rejecting their request to be released on bond pending appeal.<24, 25> The prosecuting attorney denounced the sentence, pointing out that they would be eligible for parole in just over eleven years.<26>
The defendants appealed to the Illinois Appellate Court, which affirmed their conviction 2 Oct 1981.<24> They then appealed to the U. S. Court of Appeals, which affirmed the decision of the District Court on 18 Feb 1987.<27>
Karen and her new husband were apparently divorced, as after her release from prison she resumed used of her maiden name.<11> Karen moved to Tucson, Arizona, by 2003.<28>
In 2010 Karen was a volunteer conductor for the Old Pueblo Historic Trolley system in Tucson, appearing in a number of articles and videos promoting the system.
Karen died on 7 Jul 2015 in Tucson, Pima Co., Arizona, at age 73.<12, 13>

Morrison, justice of the peace, officiating.<7> Raymond and Daisy both said on the application for their marriage license that this was their first marriage. She seems to have ignored the fact that she had married Robert H. Trisler in Spencer Co., Indiana, in 1908 and Evertt Jones in Warrick Co., Indiana, in 1912.<24, 25> It appears they had been holding themselves as married before their marriage, as he appears in the 1923 Long Beach city directory with wife Daisy, living at 841 W 4th.<23>
They seem to have been separated by 1926. He is listed as living at 233 E 10th. A Mrs. Daisy Jones is listed as living at 415 Elm Ave., rear. She has not been found in the area after that, and may have soon returned to Indiana, where she subsequently married again.<26>

Raymond appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Long Beach, Los Angeles Co., California, at 845 East 6th St., enumerated 12 Apr 1930, reporting he was renting his home, for $30 per month. He appears to have been living in a building of over 20 apartments.<27>
Raymond married second Esther Leona Glabe, daughter of Levi Glabe and Mary M. Schuck, on 28 Aug 1933 in Long Beach, Los Angeles Co., California, with Rev. F. W. Paap officating.<10, 11> Raymond reported that this was his third marriage in the application for marriage license, but no evidence of another second marriage has been found.
Raymond and Esther appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Long Beach, Los Angeles Co., California, at 1901 18th St., enumerated 15 Apr 1940, reporting they owned a home valued at $2,500. They reported they had lived in the same house in 1935. Three lodgers were listed as living with them, Opal Jacobs and apparently her 12-year-old daughter Donna, and William Heynechuk. There were also two individuals listed as renting apartments in their building, paying rent of $16 and $13 per month respectively.<28>
Raymond registered for the draft for World War II on 26 Apr 1942, while living at 1901 Orange Ave., Long Beach, Los Angeles Co., California, reporting he was employed by Neilsen Pump Co., in Long Beach.<19>
He was a machinist in Indiana. He worked as a mechanic for Pacific Electric Railway after he moved to California. He became an automobile mechanic by 1930.<29, 30, 31, 32, 33> He returned to his trade as a machinist by 1940, when he worked for Pacific Electric. That year he reported having worked 40 hours the last week of March, and 48 weeks the prior year, earning $1,300.<34>
Raymond died on 7 Oct 1958 in Los Angeles Co., California, at age 68.<12, 13, 5> He was buried in Sunnyside Cemetery, Long Beach, California.<14, 15>

Biography:

Stanley Jennings Hough was born on 25 Nov 1919 in St. Paul, Ramsey Co., Minnesota.<4, 5>
Stanley was adopted before 1930 by Louise Rose Jennings, probably after the death of her husband in 1924. His birth parents have not been identified. Given Louise's age and the fact that she appears to have been widowed by then, it seems likely she undertook the adoption because he was the son of relatives who for some reason became unable to care for him. Stanley later reported both Louise and her husband, Frank F. Hough, as his parents but it seems likely that Frank had died before the adoption.<11>
Stanley appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Seattle, King Co., Washington, in the household of his adoptive mother, Louise Rose Jennings.<12>
His adoptive mother died on 29 May 1935, when Stanley was 15 years old.<13>
Stanley was enlisted in the U.S. Army 10 Aug 1937, and was discharged 8 Nov 1945 with a rank of 1st Lieutenant.<14, 15>
Stanley appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Seattle, King Co., Washington, at 1627 Belmont, enumerated 13 Apr 1940, reporting he was renting his home, apparently an apartment in a building with over 30 units, for $18 per month. His father's sister, Carrie E. Hough, was listed in another apartment in the same building. He reported he has lived in the same city in 1935.<16>
Stanley married first Berna Elvira Jolley on 8 Jun 1940 in Everett, Snohomish Co., Washington, with H. M. Jamieson officiating.<6>
Stanley and Berna's son Gary died 9 Jun 1944, at age 3, after a fall from the second floor to the sidewalk below.<17>
Stanley married second Wilma Lucille Glabe, daughter of Charles Edward Glabe and Viola C. Wageman, on 4 Sep 1946.<7> They settled in Denver, Colorado, after their marriage.
Stanley died on 21 Feb 1989 at age 69.<8, 9> He was buried on 24 Feb 1989 in Fort Logan National Cemetery, Denver, Colorado.<10>
