Note:   The 1872 passenger ship record says he was from Germany. According to his 1872 declaration of intent to become a citizen of the US, he was a subject of the King of Prussia. The 1875 Kansas state census shows his birthplace as Germany and that he came to Kansas from Nebraska. The 1880 US census says he was born in Germany of German parents. The 1885 Nebraska state census shows his place of birth as Saxony. In his 1892 naturalization papers, he was listed as a subject of the Emperor of Austria before naturalization in the US. He was raised by step-parents and left home at the age of 13. He worked around until he went into the army, and was a soldier from 1870 to 1871. A bootmaker by trade, he came to the US with his wife on the S.S. Smidt (on its first voyage for the Bremer Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft), bound from Bremen, landing in New York on 4 April 1872.

Note:   He lived at "Bentwater" (probably Pentwater) Michigan in 1872. He filed a declaration of intent to become a citizen in Columbus, Platte County, Nebraska 29 August 1872. They lived in Niobrara, Nebraska 1873, then in Omaha, Nebraska for 3 months, where he worked as a butcher, putting on weight. They lived in Walnut Township (formed from Long Island Township in 1879), Phillips County, Kansas 1875–1880, farming a quarter section near Myrtle. There they had but two cows and a dog in 1875. On 31 December 1880 he said he was securing a home there and intended to remain in spite of the privations caused by drought and grasshoppers. But he moved to Valley County, Nebraska in 1882 and lived there until his death.

Note:   The Hackels spent the first winter in Valley County in a dugout north of their later home. By 1885 they had improved their farm of 80 acres, consisting of 40 acres of grass and 30 of hay, 13 of corn, 6 of oats, 13 of wheat, and 1 of potatoes, and had four horses, two mules, five milk cows, 31 other cattle, 22 hogs, and 65 poultry. He was naturalized in Valley County, Nebraska on 16 March 1892. He shot himself on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas passenger train en route just before reaching Vinita, Indian Territory, while on a group excursion to Port Lavaca, Texas. The Ord Quiz, the Galveston Daily News, and the Austin Weekly Statesman contain the particulars of the sad story. His remains were returned to Ord on 10 March 1893, and he was buried in the Mira Valley Cemetery, then was moved to the Ord Cemetery in the mid 1950s.

Note:   There are some hints as to his possible origin: A possible relative, linked by surname, period, and occupation, Franz Eduard Häckel, a master shoemaker, born 12 Jul 1826 in Roßwein, sought citizenship and work license in Dresden in 1870. A Karl Gustav Heckel, tailor, lived at Neundörfer Str. B. 53 in Plauen in 1863, the same year and address as (Christian?) Friedrich Schmidt, weaver. The latter could perhaps be the father or other relative of Charles Hackel’s wife Babette Schmidt, as we know that related Schmidts lived in Plauen by 1919.
