A short history of Joseph James Engberg by Jenalyn Giles Cline.
"Joseph James Engberg, `Joe' to us who knew and loved him, was fair- complexioned, blue eyes, light brown hair, five foot eleven and one-half inches tall, and not a very heavy man for his height.

Joe enlisted as a private of Battery H of the Third Regiment of Artillery on the first day of June, 1898, to serve three years.  His military record states that he was in the campaign against Spain in the Philippine Islands Expedition in 1898.  He was in action before Manila, July 31 and August 1,2,3,4, 1898; Campaign against Philippine insurgents in 1899, and in action Tonda 4 February, La Soma 5 February, Capture of Culoean the 10th of February. He was 22 years and 9 months old at this time.

The wound he received in action was a gunshot wound in the leg.  His physical condition, when discharged on 14 August 1899, was good.

Remarks on his service record were honest and faithful and very good. His occupation was a fireman on the railroad after his return from military service.

He was married to Catherine Ann Giles 16 April, 1902 by Bishop Orson F. Whitney, of the Eighteenth Ward, Salt Lake City.  Joe's father, Elof N. Engberg, lived with Joe's half sisters and brother, Dell, Ida, Lillian, Vera and William in the Ensign Ward on 9th Avenue, but at the time they were married it was all one ward, the 18th Ward.

Joe later contracted a serious lung disease which impaired his health and Joe and Kate moved to Phoenix, Arizona, in hopes of improving Joe's health, but they came home again and the babies wer coming now.  They had three while they were trying to get Joe's health better.  They made another move to Winslow, Arizona, a railroad town, and they made many friends ther and could have been veryhappy, but there didn't seem to be anything the dfoctors could do for Joe.  Kate camehome to our hous [141 3rd Avenue, SLC] to have her baby daughter, Cathering, who just weighed two and one-half pounds when born. My mother, Catherine Evans Giles, nursed her and watched over and kept her alive and she grew to be a wife and mother herself, but we lost her at too early an age of a weak and broken heart after the untimely death of her only young son, her only child, Paul, who was in the militaryservice and was in an accident and killed in Paris, France at 18 years of age.  Paul Engberg Williams.

Aunt Kate worked at Z.C.M.I. and was the buyer for Women's Fine Longerie until she retired.  She bought the home on 141 3rd Avenue.  Her parents lived there until their deaths.  Aunt Jennie and Jenalyn also lived there until Jenalyn married and Aunt Kate moved to San Francisco.  But Aunt Kate riased and supported her family, as did Aunt Jennie.  It could not have been an easy life for the two sisters but they did it cheerfully, both of the sisters being successful in their work at Z.C.M.I.
