Val Wenzel died on July 1, 1893 at age 33. Around 1991, Essie Wenzel compiled a book of Wenzel family data called “Wenzel”. In the opening of the book she lists five snippets from the past that were almost forgotten. One snippet reads as follows: “Like the policeman that was kicked by the horse, or was it the robber that kicked him. He later died from the kick.” With Val Wenzel being a police officer and dying so young, I wonder if he was the one that died from the kick. Val is buried at Loudon Park Cemetery. Kate Davis Wenzel may have died in the 1890s based on a Wenzel bible entry for her death as 189_.
