About the age of twenty, JOSEPH became a hunter, buyer and shipper of game. August 3, 1876, he married JULIA A. BYERS, daughter of ABNER and LORINDA (STEWART) BYERS, and to this union have been born three children - WALTER M., WINNIFRED B. and OTTO D. In 1875, he built a good house in Francesville, with a large ice house and freezer attached, capable of holding 1,000 dozen birds. This freezer is hermetically fastened, and has large galvanized iron pipes, containing ice, running through it. The birds are placed on frames set between these pipes and soon frozen and ready for market. August 12, 1878, he was shot in the left eye by a comrade, while hunting, causing the loss of its sight. Mr. ENGLE is First Lieutenant of the Carnahan Guard, a company of citizen soldiery; in politics, he is a Democrat of liberal views. MRS. ENGLE is a member of the Presbyterian Church which he also attends."
