JULIUS M. NAGEL. The agriculturists of Warren County are, as a rule, possessed of general intelligence, thorough understanding of their own calling, and great energy, and therefore rank well among farmers the country over. One of these gentlemen who are successfully pursuing the peaceful occupation of tilling the soil is Mr. Nagel, whose comfortable estate embraces ninety acres on section 36, township 45, range 1. The land is under thorough tillage, bears a full line of adequate improvements, and produces a goodly store of the various crops, to the raising of which it is devoted.
Our subject was born on the farm upou which he is residing April 23, 1857, and is the second in order of birth of the family of John and Annie (Schramm) Nagel. The father and mother were both natives of Germany, and came to this country with their respective parents, who settled in Franklin County, this state. John Nagel is still living, retired from active farm life, which calling he followed for a period of thirty-five years. His good wife departed this life in 1885.
The subject of this sketch carried on his studies for a time in the schools of the neighborhood, after which he entered the Mound City Commercial College, from which he was graduated in due time. He then engaged in teaching school, being successful in that occupation for three years, when he abandoned it to again take up the duties of a farmer. Finding this to be a most profitable and pleasant business, he has since followed it with good results. His estate is one of the best improved in the county, and the dwelling thereon is modern in architectural design and conveniently arranged.
About 1884 Mr. Nagel became interested in the sale of agricultural implements, which branch of business he carries on in connection with his farm. He contemplates in the near future locating a store for the sale of these goods in Dutzow, and, should he do so, as a reliable and steady-going citizen we predict for him success.
Julius Nagel was married. May 12,1881, to Miss Mena, daughter of Fritz and Fredericks (Dothage) Lageman, prominent farmers of Warren County. To them has been granted a family of two children, Cecelia and Adeline. In politics our subject is a supporter of Republican principles. He is interested in all worthy matters that affect the welfare of the community in which he resides, and is at all times a willing contributor to public causes. He has many friends and leads a happy life, surrounded by a loving family and all the comforts which a good income can secure.
