| Death of Mrs August F. Wenkel, April 1914 Arlington Heights Herald (Arlington Heights, Illinois) Thu, Apr 8, 1954 · Page 25 downloaded February 2017 from Newspapers.com |
I don't know who this might be. My information from Ancestry.com is that Sophia Rohrsen Wenkel died in 1948 in Standish Michigan. MyHeritage.com shows a death date of February or August 1948.
If this is your August F. Wenkel whose wife died in Arlington Heights Illinois in April of 1914, this clipping's for you!
An unusual name, if this entry is correct. August Ten Wenkel of Minneapolis Minnesota invented a concentrator of some kind. Wonder what it concentrated? Is there a way to find out? Anyway, this is not a relative of my Wenkel Clan.

UPDATED to add --
my lawyer friend who looks at patents for a living searched this one for me. She found the patent, and it looks like a separator for dirt or rocks. His name is Ten Wenkel, and it sounds Dutch, similar to Corrie Ten Boom.
