Henry Fabel, Jr. Passes Away
_____________________________

Was One of Norwood's Foremost Business Men, and Was in the Prime of Life
When Death Summoned Him Beyond.

     Henry Fabel, Jr., one of the best known and most highly esteemed 
businessmen of Norwood and Carver County, who had been in poor health for 
several years, died at St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Paul, Tuesday evening 
July 30th. Death was the result of a complication of diseases followed by 
an attack of paralysis.
     The late Henry Fabel, Jr. was a son of our pioneer resident, 
Henry Fabel, and he was born on a farm in Benton Township, this county, on
February 22, 1865, and had attained the age of 47 years. When a young man
he learned the trade of harnessmaker at Norwood, but later gave up the work 
to work for L.A. Booth in the Norwood Drug Store, and since that time has
followed the vocation of druggist. In 1897 he erected the imposing building 
at the corner of Elm and Union streets, one of the finest business blocks 
in the county, and it was used by him as a place of business ever since, 
with the exception of six years, from 1903 to 1909 when H.F. Lueders 
owned and operated the business. During his business career at Norwood 
he had always taken a deep interest in the business and social welfare
of the people and did much toward making it a live progressive community.
He was a great admirer of horses and in years past has owned some of the 
fastest horses that ever traveled the turfs of this state.
     In 1887 he was maried to Miss Anna Hoeffken, who died about four 
years ago. A daughter, Miss Margaret, seven brothers and one sister,
survive the early demise of a good father and brother. His aged father
also survives. To them all the Herald extends sincere sympathy.
     The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon, and the remains interred 
in the West Side Cemetery, beside those of his wife. Many old friends of the
family from various points followed the remains to their last resting place.

Researchers note: The West Side Cemetery is listed in modern documents as the
Norwood Public Cemetery / Forest Hills Cemetery Association - Norwood, Minnesota
