My ancestor went to Canada, apparently lost all his money, and got hauled back to Nebraska.
John probably suffered from dementia, and died several months after this incident, on November 19, 1912, at the state hospital in Norfolk, Nebraska. I've never found any evidence of the "investigation" mentioned in the article.
John Engel was born on November 20, 1831, in Trier, Trierer Stadtkreis, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. He married Magdalena "Lena" Gliedner on September 5, 1853, in Perl, Saarland, Germany.
In 1874, John and Lena made the trip to America with their seven children, on board the "Cybele."
They started farming in Dixon County, Nebraska, and became members of the South Creek Catholic church.
