Biography:
JOHN HACKEL JR., who is engaged in extensive agricultural operations on section 3, in Seymour township, belongs to one of the fine old German families who left the Fatherland to come to this country and participate in the building up and development of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, which is rapidly taking its place as one of the rich agricultural sections of the country. Born in Germany, February 16, 1873, Mr. Hackel is a son of John and Kate (Neumeyer) Hackel, natives of that country, who came from Bavaria, to the United States in 1874 on a sailing vessel which took three weeks to cross the ocean, bringing with them their son John, then but one year old. Their other children, who were born in the United States, were: Joseph, who married Elizabeth Platten; Michael, who married Mary Keil; Kate and Mary, who are deceased; and Anna, Theresa, Elizabeth, Agnes and Tillie. On coming to this country, the parents of Mr. Hackel settled in Appleton, Wisconsin, for six or seven months, and then removed to section 3, Seymour township, Outagamie county, at a time when the land was a vast extent of tangled brush and heavy timberland. Mr. Hackel took up forty acres, on which he built a log house and log stable and began clearing the land to make a home for his family. The children were reared here, and as the boys grew old enough they began to do their share, John, Joseph and Michael helping their father to subdue seven forty-acre tracts. Each of the boys now has a fine home and a well-cultivated property, and all are now numbered among the good citizens and substantial farmers of their township. John Hackel, Jr., married Margaret Berner and lives on the homestead, his father now being seventy-three years of age and his mother sixty-seven. He carries on general farming and also raises fine livestock, making a specialty of Poland-China hogs, which he ships out for breeding purposes.

John married Berner, Margaret 13 May 1911. Margaret (daughter of Berner, Peter and Striegel, Barbara) was born 1 Jan 1879, Black Creek, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA; died 11 Jul 1957, Denver, Denver, Colorado, USA; was buried , St. John Catholic Cemetery, Little Chute, Wisconsin, USA. [Group Sheet]

Hobart - William "Bill" Patrick Hackel, 72, of Hobart, WI passed away at home Saturday, April 14, 2018. He was born on March 17, 1946, to Clarence and Martha (Roovers) Hackel. Bill grew up in Seymour, WI.
He graduated from Seymour High in 1964. Bill earned an associate degree in Carpentry and worked in that field for 10 years while farming. Bill used those skills to build a home with his own hands, for the love of his life, Mary Lynn Reed. Bill and Mary were married in 1970 and loved and laughed together for 48 years.
Working along-side his father and brother, Bill helped grow the family farm into a large successful hog operation. He hog farmed until his retirement. Bill took classes in finance, as his drive was to take care of his family. He was self-taught in many aspects of his life and this was evident in his love of landscaping and gardening. After working long hours, Bill would come home and work in his yard to cultivate a heavenly view for Mary and his 3 children. He enjoyed being a craftsman and created clocks, tables, creches and other works of art.
Bill was well read; his reading of nonfiction made him a source of knowledge to his family and friends. He enjoyed the outdoors, soaking up the sun, fishing, travels to the Caymen Islands, a drink or two with friends, and playing cards. When his kids were young Bill enjoyed traveling with them and taking them on Sunday picnics; memories they will cherish forever.
Bill is survived by his spouse, Mary; children: Trisha (Eric) DeBruin of Seymour; Paul (girlfriend Kari) Hackel of Hobart; Stacey (Eric) Leisgang of Oneida; grandchildren: Jacob, Olivia, William and Braden DeBruin, Dylan and Austin Hackel, Colin and Lucas Leisgang; siblings: Maryann Hackel and Rosemary (Duane) Hanson, both of Appleton; Jim (Elizabeth) Hackel of Pulaski; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Friends may call at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Oneida on Friday, April 20, 2018, from 9:00 am until the funeral mass at 11:00 am with Father John Chrysostom Katamba officiating.
