Schwengel Biography: Frederick Delbert
Schwengel was born to Gerhardt and Margaret Schwengel in Franklin County Iowa on
May 28, 1906. His early education was primarily rural; after attending a
school in West Fork Township, Schwengel left home to further his education,
eventually graduating from Sheffield High School in 1926. An alumnus from
Northeast Missouri State Teachers College, Schwengel graduated from that
institution on May 23, 1930 with a Bachelor of Science in Education. Fred met
Clara Ethel Cassity in college and they were married shortly after graduation on
August 15, 1931. Schwengel had, at the time of his death in 1993, two children,
five grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Returning to his native Iowa in
1937, Schwengel began work in the insurance business, eventually establishing a
career with the American Mutual Life Insurance company.
A strong Republican, Schwengel was first elected to the Iowa
House of Representatives in 1945. He was to serve five consecutive terms
in this office (1945-1955), before being elected as a Representative in the U.S.
Congress, a tenure which lasted eight terms (1955-1965; 1967-1973). In the
US House of Representatives, Schwengel served on the Public Works Committee,
District of Columbia and House Administration, Republican Task Force on Minority
Staffing, and the Wednesday Group. To help honor Abraham Lincoln,
Schwengel additionally served on the Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission and the
US Civil War Centennial Commission. [From
