Mr. Engelking, a specialty salesman, who had made his home in Abbotsford since 1943, was at his work when he suffered a stroke Monday, about noon, and pulled his car off the highway just north of the Danielson Dry Cleaners plant on Highway 13, and shut off the motor. A passerby noticed the unconscious man and notified the police. He was taken by ambulance to St. Joseph’s hospital, Marshfield, and never regained consciousness. Death occurred at 6:45 a.m. Tuesday.

In 1913, they moved to Sanborn where they operated a general store until about 1934 when it was destroyed by fire. In 1943, they moved to Abbotsford and have since resided here. 
 

Mr. Engelking was town treasurer at Sanborn for several years and was a member of the Elks lodge and Modern Woodmen. 
 

He is survived by his widow, two sons, Fred Jr., and Edward Engelking, both of Abbotsford; four daughters, Mrs. Elmer (Margaret) Schraufnagel, Abbotsford; Mrs. Sylvester (Marie) Schraufnagel, Glidden; Mrs. Arnold (Florence) Schraufnagel, Green Bay; and Mrs. William (Edna) Berweger, Ashland; three brothers, George Engelking, Minneapolis; William Engelking, St. Paul; and Joseph Engelking, Phillips; a sister, Mrs. C.
