FRANK C. SCHNOBRICH.

    Industry and fair dealing have been watchwords with Frank C. Schnobrich,
butcher, of New Ulm, and he has therefore built up a very satisfactory business.
He was born on April 16, 1876, in New Ulm, Minnesota, and is a son of Joseph and
Anna (Betz) Schnobrich, both natives of Germany, who immigrated to Minnesota
about 1861 and were among the pioneers in Brown county, where the father engaged
in farming for some time, later established a butcher business. During the
Indian troubles in 1862 he took part in the defense of New Ulm. His family
consisted of eight children, seven of whom lived to maturity.

    The subject of this sketch received only a limited education, for he
preferred work to going to school. He assisted with the general work on the home
farm, later taking care of the live stock, finally working in his father's
butcher shop, where he learned the business. In 1897 he purchased his father's
shop and has been conducting the same alone ever since, enjoying an excellent
trade. He has remodeled the building, installing a modern refrigerating plant
and now has one of the largest and most up-to-date plants of its kind in this
part of the state. He handles the best material obtainable and caters to the
best trade.

    On April 21, 1896, Mr. Schnobrich was united in marriage to Johannah
Griebel, who was born April 25, 1876, in Brown county, where she grew to
womanhood and was educated. She is a daughter of Mike and Cornelia (Demer)
Griebel, both natives of Germany, from which country they came to Minnesota and
were early settlers in Brown county, locating here in the early sixties. They
took part in the Indian troubles and had some very narrow escapes and thrilling
experiences. Six children, five of whom are living, have been born to Mr. and
Mrs. Schnobrich, namely: Arthur, born on February 3, 1897; Bennie, October 11,
1899, died in January, 1900; Frank, March 30, 1900; Elsie, August 26, 1902;
Jennie, July 8, 1905; Lucile, January 27, 1907.

     Mr. Schnobrich and family are members of the Holy Trinity Catholic church.
He also belongs to St. Joseph's Society and St. John's Society. His wife is a
member of St. Elizabeth's Society and St. Anna's Society. Politically, he is a
Democrat. He has been a member of the town council for two terms, or four years.
