His parents, Bernhard Engelken and his wife, Rosina Mary, were the first of the family to immigrate to the United States. In 1848, Bernhard and Rosina and their children, 2 sons and 2 daughters, left Germany, and settled in St. Louis, Missouri, one of the three principal immigration points at the time. One of their sons, Bernhard died during the Atlantic crossing and was presumably buried at sea.
