A son of Charles and Wilhelmina (Schwartz) Wenzel, he was born October 22, 1888, near Manilla. He attended school near Manilla and then farmed with his father. His marriage to Frieda Rohr took place February 28, 1912, and they lived first on a farm near Aspinwall. After spending 14 years in Minnesota, they returned and lived for 15 years on farms near Irwin and Manilla, moving in 1944 to another farm near Westside. About ten years ago, the couple moved to a small acreage in Hayes Township, living there until entering Eventide Home.
