    Notes 
    • From Alice Seaborne, June 2011: 'My father was a well known Chicago landscape painter and became the Director of the Chicago Galleries Ass'n. on N. Michigan Ave until he retired. He was a very well respected art critic and served as a judge for several Art shows in the U.S, Midwest.'

      Harry appeared in the 1880 census with his parents. Unfortunately the 1890 census was destroyed by fire but had it existed, we should have been able to find Harry and Alice, who said on the 1900 census that they'd been married 13 years. Hazel HERZBERGER, who was presumably Alice's daughter by someone other that Harry, would probably have appeared in the 1890 census as well.
      Neither I nor any of the people who have public family trees on Ancestry have found evidence of a marriage between Harry and Alice. But it seems that Harry did marry: evidence exists showing that Harry L ENGLE and Grace C SANDS, both of 521 La Salle (rest of address is missing) were married on May 25 1893 at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Chicago.
      Grace died in December the following year, having given birth to a son in November 1893. His name was John Frederick ENGLE and although he never appeared with his father on censuses up to 1940, his WW2 draft card gives the "name and address of person who will always know your address" as Harry L ENGLE, 7420 Greeview Ave, Chicago, Ill. This is the address at which Harry Leon ENGLE was living when the 1940 census was done.
      I have included Grace SANDS as one of Harry's wives and John Frederick ENGLE as his son.
