More Mary Ann Wilson Brachvogel's Children - Wilson Enke Book

Above is Mary Ann Wilson Brachvogel

We've mentioned Harry, William, & Walter...children of Mary Ann Wilson and Henry Brachvogel.

Next is Frank "was born November 29, 1900, in Omaha, Nebraska. He moved to Beadle County when very young to a farm north of Wessington. He attended rural schools. He married Hazel McNeely March 29, 1929. They had 3 children; Donald, Benton and Joyce. He was engaged in farming most of his life, several years with his brother Albert. He left the farm in 1950 and moved to St. Lawrence, later moving to Miller where he was employed in carpenter work. He died March 30, 1957, in Miller at the age of 56. His wife, Hazel Marie was born March 26, 1906. She is in good health (1977) and living in Everett, Washington."

Mabel Brachvogel McNeely "was born July 17, 1903 in Beadle County. She lived with her parents on a farm north of Wessington where she attended rural school. She married Cecil McNeely on January 28, 1925, in Aberdeen. They lived in the Orient, Miller, Ree Heights, Tulare, Athol, and Redfield areas. They had seven living children; Betty Jean, Eileen, Francis, Marion, Donna Rae, Leslie and Mary Lee. One son, Arthur Wilbur born on January, 1933, died in infancy. Mabel was a member of the Rebecca Lodge and the VFW Auxiliary of Redfield and the Congregational Church of Athol. She died October 31, 1972 at the age of 68 in Redfield. Her husband Cecil was born April 24, 1899, and died November 18, 1975." Note: I'm wondering if these three McNeely marriages are siblings?

Albert Brachvogel was "born April 30, 1905, in Beadle County, South Dakota. He attended rural school and was later engaged in farming with his brother Frank. He entered the service in 1942, servicing in the Mediterranean waters as airplane mchanic. He married Helen lamb, June 9, 1945, in Chicago. They had three children; Maureen, Frank and Therese. He was employed by Kleinert Products until about 1971 and then employed by the school system. He died Nov. 10, 1973 in Chicago. His wife Helen is still living in Chicago."

Pearl Brachvogel Gravett " was born July 20, 1907 in Beadle County. She attended rural school at the Brady School (which was later where the Tipton School was located.) She attended one year at Wessington High School and two years and one summer of school in Aberdeen. On her 20th birthday she married Trubert Gravett in Miller. They had six living children; Norma, Charlotte, Bill, Stanley, Shirley and Chancey. One daughter Lucille, born October 16, 1933, in Hyde County, died a few hours after birth. Pearl is living in Huron, SD where she is active in church work and Senior Citizens activities."
