Mr. Stangel was born in Tisch Mills in 1886, the son of Mr. and Mrs.

general merchandising business in Tisch Mills. Since the death of
the elder Stangel, two sons, Edward and Joseph, have operated the
business under the name of F. W. Stangel and Sons.
Active in the Tisch Mills volunteer fire department since its
inception in the early 1920s, Mr. Stangel served as its chief for
seven years. He later became president of the volunteer organization,
and except for a brief period, served in that capacity until his
death. Mr. Stangel was known as one of Tisch Mills’ civic-minded
townsmen, and was in the forefront of the promotion of activities
beneficial to his church and town. He was also a member of the
American Catholic Union.
On June 2, 1915, he married the former Esther Trousil in Milwaukee.
Surviving, in addition to his wife, is one son, Eugene of Tisch
Mills; three brothers, Joseph of Tisch Mills, Otto of Morehead,
and Frank O. of Milwaukee; three sisters, Mrs. Louis Jansky of
Rockwood and Mrs. Joseph Schlies and Mrs. George Spevacheck of
