WILLIAM MANGELSDORF DEAD (The Atchison Daily Globe May 16, 1911.)
William Mangelsdorf Sr., age 65 years, died at his home, Eleventh and Santa Fe, at 6 o'clock yesterday evening of a complication of diseases. The funeral will be held from the German Evangelical church, corner of Ninth and Santa Fe streets, at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Burial in Mt. Vernon cemetery.
William Mangelsdorf was born in Arnim, Germany. He came to America in 1856, located in Hermann, Mo. where he lived until 1864, when he came to Atchison. Like many Germans who came to this country, Mr. Mangelsdorf's chief assets were sterling honesty and plenty of industry. He soon saved enough to go into the grocery business, and was a partner of the late John Raterman, Sr.
In 1878 he went to Ellinwood, and opened a gerneral merchandise store, and personally managed it until he returned to Atchison seven years ago. He was one of the incorporators of the Mangelsdorf Bros. Seed Co, and was its treasurer until last July.
His good judgment was demonstrated in every line of business he became interested in, for he always prospered. He possessed the qualities of any man who succeeds: politeness, industry, honesty and fairness.
He is survived by six children: Clara, Edward, Minnie, Frank and Albert who are at home, and William of Ellinwood. In addition the following brothers and sisters survive him: August Mangelsdorf Sr., Mrs. Anna Buhman, and Mrs. John Lamers, of Atchison; Henry Mangelsdorf of Clayton, N.M.; Mrs. Dora Beurman, of Lawrence; Fred Stehwien, of Bushton; and Albert Stehwien, of Lawrence. The last two are half brothers.
Six nephews will act as pall-bearers.
