 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.)
