SEKEL Germany to USA

Classification: Query
Surnames: Sekel
I've a Max Sekel who is tough to research. Records indicate he was Catholic, German, born abt 1855, married in Philadelphia, had a son named James in Philadelphia. He disappears shortly after James is born. By that I mean: no death record, cemetery record, newspaper item, or any record found on him.

HOWEVER, there is a Max Sekel who served in the Indian Wars, enlisting from Mass. He had the same occupation and birth info. This was prior to finding the above in Philadelphia.

There is also a Max Sekel who shows up in a ship's record, traveling from France to New Jersey with his wife Lucy. This was after losing the Max I first mentioned.

Is it possible this is all the same person? Max and Lucy had no children. I am not aware of any siblings to Max.
