ANDREW J. GOBLIRSCH.

    One of the well-known men in financial circles in Brown county is Andrew J.
Goblirsch, of the State Bank of Cobden, Minnesota. He was born in Lafayette,
Nicollet county, this state, March 5, 1881, and is a son of John and Elizabeth
Goblirsch, both natives of Austria, in which country the father grew to manhood,
was educated and remained until he was thirty-five years of age when he
immigrated to the United States, taking up a homestead in Lafayette township,
Nicollet county, Minnesota. By hard persistent labor he developed a good farm
from the virgin prairie and there spent the rest of his life, dying in 1908. His
family consisted of ten children, namely: Adam, George, John, Mike, Joe, Frank,
Charles, Anton, Andrew J. and Katherine.

    The subject of this review grew up on the homestead where he worked when a
boy, and he received his education in the public schools of this community in
Nicollet county, but on1 leaving school at the age of eighteen, he went to
Mankato, spending two years as a student in the normal college there, and then
began working in a general store in Lafayette, remaining there two years, after
which he took an interest in a mercantile business In Wabasso, Minnesota, where
he remained about three years; then went to Leonard, North Dakota, and was
assistant cashier of the First State Bank of that place for three years. From
there he went to Grace City, that state, where he became assistant cashier in
the Farmers and Merchants Bank and remained in this position one year, after
which he went to Morgan, Minnesota, and engaged in the grocery business one
year, then became cashier of the State Bank of Cobden, .where he has since
remained. This bank has a capital of about ten thousand dollars, two thousand
dollars surplus and about eighty-five thousand dollars assets. Mr. Goblirsch has
done much toward its steady growth.

     Mr. Goblirsch was married in 1904 to Susa M. Welter, a daughter of Peter
and Louisa Welter. Her father was born in Luxemburg, Germany, and the mother was
a native of Wisconsin. Mrs. Goblirsch was born in Sleepy Eye. Nine children, two
sons and seven daughters, were born to Mr. and Mrs. Welter. To subject and wife
four children have been born, namely: Edmund, Margeurite, Evelyn and Elaine.
Politically, he is a Democrat. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus lodge
at New Ulm, and the Catholic church at Sleepy Eye.
