Following retirement, HENRY C. INGWERSEN returned to his 

 old home at Clinton, where he remained until his death in 1907. 

 CHARLES INGWERSEN, on the other hand, remained, in Chicago, 

 but on his death, which occurred in 1910, his body was taken 

 to Lyons, a suburb of Clinton, for interment. 



The political affiliations of the two INGWERSENS were always 

 a matter of considerable interest to the commission men of 

 Packingtown. When they first came to America they were 

 staunch Republicans, but in the early 70's turned Democrats. 

 However, they were again Republicans in 1896 and voted for 

 McKlNLEY, but in the following years turned to the Democratic 

 ticket A fruitful cause for small wagers among the old timers 

 was to bet on the party affiliations of the INGWERSENS as each 

 new election came up, and one friend good naturedly remarked 

 that "it was unfortunate that they died before they could per- 

 manently decide whether they were Democrats or Republicans."
