  • William Konkel
    GENEALOGY and HISTORY of the DESCENDANTS of WILLIAM KONKEL By Carroll G. Bryan Published by Boulevard Press -Detroit, Michigan 1966 To MOM whose pride in the Konkel name inspired me to write this history. 3 CARROLL G. BRYAN 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I wish to acknowledge two contributions, of over one thousand dollars each, made by ADA KONKEL ESSEX and ETHEL KONKEL BRYAN. Without their financial support this history could not have been published. I appreciate the assistance of my wife LaVerne ... especially her understanding and encouragement. There are certain persons without whose help I would have found it extremely difficuit to complete parts of this history. Their names will be found at the end of their respective chapters. Finally, there are those who so carefully wrote their own family histories for publication, as well as the many who took the time to send little notes, cards or letters of appreciation and encouragement. My sincere uthank you" to each and every one. 5 INTRODUCTION The KONKEL HISTORY has been a long time in the making, a topic of conversation since the turn of the century whenever Konkels got together. About 1927, Samuel Konkel, owner and publisher of the Springfield Herald, at Springfield, Colorado started collecting family records from his many cousins, nephews and nieces. His work was cut short by his death in 1935 at the age of 82. The letters he received were in large part from descend­ ants of brothers and sisters of William Konkel, Samuel's father and the subject of this book. The paper brown and creased and the writing faded with age, these old letters first came to the attention of the author in the fall of 1962.
