On July 27, 1893 Wilhelmina (Minna) married Frederick Laasch in New Rockford, Eddy County, North Dakota, USA. Theodora was given the last name Laasch. Frederick and Wilhelmina had five children together, Elizabeth Fredericka (b Sept. 14, 1893), Alexander Frederick (b Oct. 4, 1895), Helen Katherine (b Jan. 9, 1897), Wilhelm John (b Aug. 12, 1898) and Anna Marie (b Jan. 9, 1900), all born in Rosfield County, ND. Theodora and her siblings were raised on the Laasch farm located in Rosefield County, south of New Rockford, ND. In September 1908, Theodora, age 18, married Albert Gustav Engel. In 1910, Albert worked as a railway section foreman in Glover, James River Valley Township, Dickey County, North Dakota, USA and lived there with Theodora and their sons Alfred Carl (b Mar. 16, 1909) and Edwin Martin (b Mar. 12, 1910). Albert’s father Henry Gustav (age 59) also lived with them and worked as a railway laborer. Albert and Theodora moved with their family to Medicine Hat, AB in the winter of 1910 - 1911. They obtained a homestead (NW28-12-2-W4M) in 1911, but stayed living in Medicine Hat for 2 years at the 900 block of 7th Avenue, now Kingsway. In 1913, they moved out to the homestead and erected a two-room sod house, and added a frame structure on to it in 1926. While living on the homestead, Albert and Theodora had seven additional children, Nettie Dora (b July 7, 1912), Violet Luella (b Oct. 21. 1916), Walter Alvin (b Feb. 18, 1918), Junuis (June) Viola (b June 20, 1920), Allan Albert (b Sept. 19, 1922), Percy Grover (b Sept. 5, 1924) and Nina Linda (b Nov. 19, 1929). Albert passed away, age 59, of cancer, on May 21, 1939 and was interred in Zion Cemetery near Many Islands Lakes (NW12-13-2-W4). After Albert died, Theodora continued to farm with the help of her sons Allan and Percy. Sometime later, she divided up the farm amongst the children. Her daughter Nina and husband Emanuel Franz took over the home place. In 1962, Wallace and Estelle Koenig (Theodora’s granddaughter) purchased the land, from them and Theodora moved to Irvine into a small house built by Emanuel Franz . She passed away there, age 71, on May 18, 1962 and was interred in Hillside Cemetery, Medicine Hat, AB. On June 25, 1960, Albert’s body was disinterred from Zion Cemetery and reburied beside Theodora.
