My great great grandfather came from France at a very young age with his parents. They lived in St. Louis, Mo. The father and young son took a boat up the Missouri River to Kansas. The father left the little boy at the mill and went out to homestead land. He was never heard from again. The little boy was raised and later adopted by James Ingels. The little boys name was Joseph Kickersole (Ingels).
J.K. INGELS FOUND DEAD
Death Came Suddenly Some Time Last Night.
Never Knew Place Or Date Of Birth-Reared By the Late James Ingels
Joseph K. Ingels, about 70 years old, was found dead in bed this morning when Mrs. Ingels awoke about 6:30 o'clock. A Physician was called and said Mr. Ingels had been dead several hours. He retired last night in his usual health, which had been failing slightly but was not considered seriously ill. Death was caused either by asthma from which he had been afflicted several years or by heart lesion.
Mr. Ingels real name was Joseph Kickersole. He went through life without knowledge of where or when he was born. His earliest memories included a trip across the ocean and he believed he was born in France, as he possessed a knowledge of the French language.
Before the Civil War, when Mr. Ingels was six to eight years old, he came to America from his native land with his parents. The family settled in St. Louis. After a short time there, the father and son, leaving the mother in St. Louis, came to Kansas, the lad's father expecting to preempt a farm. They left the boat which brought them up the Missouri river at Doniphan, and the father left the boy at the Doniphan mill., saying he would look at the land in the vicinity and return for him. He never came back and Mr. Ingels never heard from his father afterward. The late James Ingels, then a farmer near Doniphan, took the lad into his home and reared him. By the act of the legislature his name was changed from Joseph Kickersole to Ingels.
In his youth, Mr. Ingels worked on farms and saved enough money to buy a farm in the Good Intent neighborhood. In 1870 he married Miss Caroline Dooley, and they went to housekeeping on the newly acquired farm, where they lived until 16 years ago, when they sold the farm to Ed Underwood and moved to town. They lived at 525 North Seventh street until a few months ago , when they purchased property at 722 E?cher street where he lived until his death.
Mr. Ingels is survived by his widow, and seven children: W.W. Ingels, Blackwell, Okla.; A.D., Horton; Gilbert R., Thunder Hawk, South Dakota; Mrs. A. F. Allen, Huron; R.H. Ingels, Detroit; Mrs. F,M. Potter, Tucson, Ariz.; and Mrs. R.L. Miller, Denver.
Had Mr. Ingels lived till next April, the golden wedding anniversary would have been celebrated and plans for it already were being made. Mrs. Ingels is a sister of the late Mrs. J.R. Underwood who died at her home 1028 Laramie street three weeks ago..
Funeral arrangements will be delayed pending word from the widely scattered children. Burial will be at the Denton Cemetery, where two children of Mr. and Mrs. Ingels are buried.
