  FREDERICK JENKEL, a substantial citizen and representative farmer of Center township, is a son of John Jenkel, who came from Germany and settled in Winnebago county, Wisconsin, as a young man and later, in 1877, located in Outagamie county, buying the present farm of Frederick Jenkel. John Jenkel followed farming during the active years of his life, but in 1909 he retired from activities, sold his farm to his son, and settled down to spend the remainder of his life in well-earned rest. He was married in Germany in 1870, to Katherine Tepp, who was born in the Fatherland and died in 1909, in Center township. Frederick Jenkel was one of a family of five children, and was born April 7, 1874, in Germany, his father coming to this country in 1875. He here secured his education and attended school until he was nineteen years of age, and during his spare time assisted his father in the duties incidental to the operating of a home farm, also learning the cheesemaking trade. He followed the latter occupation for about four years, but when he had reached the age of twenty-four years, he purchased forty acres of land near the home farm. In 1899 he was married to Bertha Kuse, daughter of William Kuse, a well-known farmer of Cicero township, and to this union there have been born seven children: John, Anita, Benjamin, Irene, Helen, Clarence and Fred. After his marriage Mr. Jenkel continued to reside on the old home farm until 1909, at which time he bought his father's farm and here he has since been successfully engaged in general farming . He has made many improvements on this place, including the building of a new barn. Located on this property is an interesting reminder of pioneer days, an old log cabin, which was on the property when it was purchased by the elder Jenkel, and which was one of the first to be built in Outagamie county. Despite its great age, this old structure is in fairly good condition, and its state of preservation speaks well for the thorough manner in which its original owner worked . Mr. and Mrs. Jenkel are members of the German Lutheran Church of Ellington. In politics Mr. Jenkel is a Democrat and he has served as assessor of Center township for two terms, and is now in his ninth or tenth year as clerk of the school board.
