Mabel Louise Ehrenberg was born on March 27, 1912, in Hamburg, Minnesota.  She was the daughter of John and Maria (Klanche) Dreier.  Mabel was baptized as an infant on April 7, 1912, by Rev. H. J. Bouman at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Hamburg, Minnesota, and later was confirmed in her faith as a youth on May 21, 1925, by Rev. Dysterheft at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Helen Township, Minnesota.  She received her education at the Helen Township Parochial School.

On December 20, 1931, Mabel was united in marriage to Ervin Ehrenberg by Rev. Dysterheft at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Helen Township, Minnesota.  Mabel and Ervin made their home on the Ehrenberg family farm near Schilling Lake until the late 1960s, when they moved to Glencoe.  Their marriage was blessed with two children, Duane and Diane.  Mabel and Ervin shared over 51 years of marriage until Ervin passed away on June 1, 1983.

In addition to being a loving wife, mother and homemaker, Mabel helped on the farm.  After moving to Glencoe, Mabel also worked at Tonka Toys, Bongards Creamery and did housecleaning.  Mabel was an active member at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Glencoe.
