Charles, only son of Peter and Louise Enge, was born in the town of Troy in 1869. After finishing country school he went to Prairie High School., living with his sister Anna and George Ragatz, her husband. He also attended Whirewater Normal. He taught country school 5 winters, three in his home district, Witen, two years in Pine Grove ( which was destroyed by fire last year ) my home district. This is when I first met Charles. He assisted his father on the farm and later took over management of the same.
In 1900 Charles and I married. After a short honeymoon in Chicago and Milwaukee we returned to the farm where his home became our home. Here we spent 45 years sharing our joys and responsibilities. Here our six children were born and grew to man and womanhood. They all went to Witen School which was abandoned last year when it became part of the Black Hawk consolidated school. They all graduated from Prairie High School during the time R.S. Babington was principal and Walter Doll was reacher. Three of the boys, Howard, Carl and Wallace took a short course in agriculture at the U. of Wisconsin. ...we as a family attended and were active in the Evangelical church of Honey Creek. Charles died in 1945 at the age of 76 years. He took great interest in community affairs, served as school clerk 21 years, as member of Witen Cooperative Creamery for 30 years, as a member of Sauk County Board 13 years.
