Read More	Leonard Schinagel, who devotes his attention to general agricultural-pursuits on section 21, Ross township, where he owns two hundred and forty acres of rich and productive land, is a self-made man who owes his present prosperity entirely to his well directed industry and wise management. His birth occurred in Bavaria, Germany, on the 31st of August, 1864, his parents being John Leonard and Mary (Komm) Schinagel, who passed away in the fatherland many years ago. Leonard Schinagel spent the first sixteen years of his life in 'the land of his nativity and then sailed for America, desiring to test the truth of the-many favorable reports which had reached him concerning the opportunities and advantages of the new world. During the first three years of his residence in the United States he was employed in the car shops and as fireman with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company at Aurora, Illinois, while subsequently he worked by the month as a farm hand in Kane county. In 1888 he came to Franklin county, Iowa, and during the following three years cultivated a rented tract of land on section 21, Ross township, which he then purchased and which is still in his possession. It was merely wild prairie when he first located thereon, but he has since developed and improved the property until it is now very desirable, and erected a set of substantial farm buildings. His place embraces two hundred and forty acres of valuable land and in its operation he has won a gratifying measure of success, annually harvesting excellent crops, which find a ready sale on the market. In Kane county, Illinois, Mr. Schinagel wedded Miss Minnie Rhutassel, a native of that county, by whom he has four children. Ella, married Henry Gerfin, of Ross township, on the 1st of January, 1914, and they are farming the Tom Williams farm in that township. George, Lillie and Clarence are at home. Mr. Schinagel was reared in the Lutheran faith and will not depart therefrom but attends and contributes to the support of the Congregational church, to which his wife and children belong. He is widely recognized as a progressive and enterprising citizen, and is the owner of an automobile. Coming to the new world in early life, he eagerly availed himself of the opportunities here afforded and has worked his way steadily upward to a position among the substantial and representative citizens of Franklin county, where he has now resided for a quarter of a century.
