John Henkel, a native of Germany, who came to America with his parents in 1853,
died in a horse-driven wagon accident in 1895.
Henkel, who settled in Colby in 1878, was temporarily discharged from the
military after his three-year-old daughter died in a fire. “He was so grief
stricken that, for a time, friends feared he would lose his reason,” his
obituary states.
The following spring, though, he reenlisted in the 9th Wisconsin Regiment and
served until January 30, 1866.
