Wendelin Braunagel worked for the Chicago Milwaukee railroad when the company built the road from Eureka to Linton. He was a man whose strength apparently had no limit. Stories have been told that he would carry two railroad ties, one under each arm, with the greatest of ease. Mr. Braunagel was very active in a brawl which occurred at Columbia, S.D. in 1903. A game of cards was in progress when Mr. Braunagel spotted a certain party in the act of cheating. The offender was accused and great excitement followed. The game was being held in a hay loft and it was immediately cleared out by Mr. Braunagel. He picked up three men and threw them bodily out of the hay loft door onto the ground below. He took great delight in accepting the challenge of carnival and circus giants-wrestling, boxing and weightlifting. From stories gathered from Mr. Braunagel's relatives and friends, he always came out the victor in these occasions. He was a farmer from 1890 to 1920 on Sec. 28, 131-76. He moved to Strasburg in 1921 where he was the town marshall for four years.
