In the 1860 Federal Census on the right the Engel family is
entered on lines 34 - 40. The spelling is wrong as it should be
Engel, not Engle. This was fairly common as some census
takers spelled words phonically. Language barriers also
contributed to errors in the census.
Notice at the bottom of the census Dr. Charles Hugo, a
physician boarded with the Engel's.
This was Albert Gustave Hugo's father
1870 Census
Katherine Engel                   Princeton, Illinois
In the 1870 Census on the left Catherine Engel is living with
Nicholas and Catherine Hauter. Nicholas was the brother of
Jacobine (Hauter) Engel, Katherine's mother.
