Mr. Spiegel was born April 23, 1924, in Neillsville. He was the son of the late Alfred and Helga (Mackeprang) Spiegel. He received his education in county schools. He had hauled milk for over 20 years. From 1946 to 1965 he operated the Spiegel garage in the Town of Washburn. In 1965 he started working for a Marshfield mobile home manufacturer. He was married September 29, 1954, to the former Geraldine Hoeser in Neillsville.

Surviving are his wife; two sons, Thomas and James, both at home; three brothers, Edgar of Rt. 1 Neillsville, Bruce and Robert of Rt. 2 Granton.


Note: I remember Alfred well from when he hauled our milk, when I was a youngster in the late 1940’s.
