Died:
Born in Rockford Township. He was baptized 25 Aug 1895 at the Pelican Lake, Immual Lutheran Church, Buffalo, MN. He was confirmed 9 Jun 1912 at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Buffalo, MN.

Emil's father died when he was nine years old and he was orphaned at age 12 when his mother, Bertha, left the Silver Creek home leaving him to care for a younger brother and sister. He never heard from his mother again. Emil stayed some time at the home of his Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Herman (Biegler). He worked on their farm and was allowed to go to school only in the winter. He completed about 3 years of middle school.
Emil was very talented in music and taught himself to play the violin.

He worked in Minot, ND at age 15 for a farmer, then lived with Aunt Lotte (Charlotte), and worked for Henry James as a farm hand. Amy was a daughter of Henry's, and soon they fell in love and were engaged to be married.

During WWI, Emil was called into the service. He went to Chicamaga, Georgia where he was classified a 4-F and thus he returned to Minnesota.

He continued to farm throughout Wright County, until he eventually sold the farm and moved to the home in Monticello on 4th street. Here he tended a huge garden of vegetables and flowers, fished with his good friend Alfred Carlson, and attended St. Peter's Lutheran Church faithfully.

In Jan. 1974 Emil lost his wife, Amy, of more than 50 years.

Emil married Amy Jane James in 1919. Amy (daughter of Henry Nathaniel James and Harriet Eva Schultz) was born on 8 Dec 1900 in Monticello, Wright County, Minnesota, United States; died on 30 Jan 1974 in Monticello, Wright County, Minnesota, United States; was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Monticello, Wright County, Minnesota, United States.
