Warner and Co., 1890-1891, (The Generations Network, Inc., 2004). D. Sterling Wendel, farmer, Oto, was born in Luzerne County, PA, March 23, 1833, a son of John Conrad and Mary (Rathborn) Wendel. He remained at home until the outbreak of the war, in 1861, when he joined the Second Iowa cavalry. He was taken prisoner near Ripley, but was shortly exchanged, and took part in the battles at Corinth, which lasted three days, Coffeeville, Booneville, the West Point raid, and many other engagements and skirmishes. At the close of the war, he went to Jackson County, Iowa and rented a farm, remaining on it three years, when he moved to Little Sioux township, Woodbury county, by ox team, and bought 160 acres, where he is now living. February 12, 1867, he married Martha Gordon, in Jackson county, Iowa, and three children have been born to them, all now living. Mr. Wendel is a Methodist, and is liked by all who know him. He casts his suffrage with the republican party. His father, John C. Wendel, a native of Germany, came to America in 1825, and during the war in this country was a tailor for the soldiers. His death occurred in 1865. Mr. Wendel's mother is now living in Woodbury county, at the advanced age of eighty-one years. [S560402620] 1850 United States Census.
