From "History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin", 1881, p. 756. City of La Crosse WILLIAM GOBEL, of the firm of Hoff & Gobel, contractors and builders; was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1831. His father, Jeremiah Gobel, was a native of Ohio, and his mother, whose maiden name was Hannah Moore, was born on a farm where the city of Cincinnati now stands. Mr. Gobel learned the carpenter's trade of his father; came to La Crosse in 1857, and has resided here since, except three years in Cincinnati - from 1858 to 1862 - settling up his father's estate. He was married in Cincinnati, in 1854, to Miss Mary Harrison, and has two children living - Mary and Elizabeth; lost one son, Jeremiah, who died in 1865, aged 6 years. Mr. Goble has worked at the carpenter's trade ever since he came to La Crosse, and has been contracting since 1873. The present partnership was formed in January, 1877.
