Surnames: NAGEL, McKEE, STANBERY Memoirs of the Miami Valley, Vol. III, 1919 on page 540/541: Fred W. NAGEL. Both in private life and public affairs, Fred W. NAGEL has proved himself eminently capable, energetic and trustÂworthy, and during the lifelong period of his association with Oxford, has won a permanent place as a practical and constructive promoter of the best business and civic interests of the community. Mr. NAGEL, who has been in the business of funeral directing at Oxford since 1907 and has one of the leading establishments of the city, was born at Oxford, October 18, 1876, a son of Fred and Catherine NAGEL. His parents, natives of Germany, emigrated to the United States in 1851, locating for a time at Florence, Ky., and then coming to Oxford, where the father, a wagonmaker by trade, followed his vocation until the outbreak of the Civil war and then enlisted in the service of his country as a member of an Ohio volunteer infantry regiment. After his honorable discharge from military service, in which he had made a splendid record for brave and faithful! performance of duty, he returned to the duties of civil life and for a number of years conducted a wagon-making establishment at Oxford, where his death occurred in 1877, Mrs. Nagel surviving him until 1919, when she passed away at the age of eighty-one years. They were faithful members of the Presbyterian church and the parents of ten children, of whom five are living: Henry, a resident of Oxford; Louise, the wife of Henry ADY, of Riverside, Cal.; Carl, the proprietor of a meat market at that place; Fred W.; and Kate, twins, the latter of whom is the wife of C. C. McKEE, of Riverside. Fred W. NAGEL received his education in the public schools of Oxford, and in 1900 embarked in business on his own account as the proprietor of a livery and transfer enterprise, of which he was the owner at Oxford until 1917. In the meantime, in 1916, he had enrolled as a student in the Cincinnati School of Embalming, and after completing the course, in 1917, engaged in the undertaking bus! iness, which he has since followed with success. He controls a busine ss which has the confidence of the people of Oxford, and his personal tact has done much to make his services acceptable to families at the time of their greatest grief, while the complete equipment of his place of business and his facilities for the reverent handling of the dead have combined to give his establishment a recognized place among the specialized business houses of the city. In June, 1897, Mr. NAGEL was united in marriage with Miss Nora STANBERY of Mount Carmel, Ind., and they have four children: Charles; Marjorie, a graduate of Oxford High school, who also attended the Western College for Women; Fred H. and William. The eldest son, Charles, was educated in the public schools of Oxford and the Miami summer school, and joined the Ohio National Guards, with which he served during the trouble on the Mexican border. When America entered the Great war, he was the youngest soldier to go from Oxford, being a member of Company E, 166th Infantry, of the famous Rainbow! Division, and served for one hundred and forty-five straight days in the front line trenches in France. Wounded and gassed, he was confined to the general headquarters hospital for an extended period, and then received his honorable discharge and was sent home. Fred W. NAGEL has been a prominent figure in Democratic politics, is a member of the Butler County Democratic Central committee and has served as a member of the Oxford City council. He has been an active supporter of good and beneficial movements, and his public record has been an excellent one. With his family, he belongs to the Presbyterian church, and as a fraternalist holds membership in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Knights of Pythias at Oxford, and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks at Hamilton, in all of which he is very popular.
