My grandmother's father, John Louis Engel, exemplified all the best qualities as a son, husband, father, brother and community leader. He was a builder, taught by his uncle, in Shumway. A few years later he bought the lumber yard and hardware store owned by another uncle. He then opened lumber yards in Beecher City and Stewardson, which were operated by his brother. He had a millinery department in Shumway that was operated by my grandmother, Lillie, his eldest daughter. I understand the lumberyard in Stewardson is mentioned in the local history publication. I would love to have a copy of that. Is there a picture of the store before 1918 when he died? Is there any other local data and history? John ENGEL married my great-grandmother in November 1885. I am trying to make a CD for his descendants. Any help you give with be part of my honor of him. Thank you all Lynn Phifer
