Biography: Winnebago County, Wisconsin: Fred NOEBEL ************************************************************************ Submitted by Kathy Grace, August 2004 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ Fred. Noebel, one of the enterprising farmers of Oshkosh township, is a native of Germany, and was born at Saxony, June 25, 1846, where his parents spent their lives. Fred came to the United States and located in Oshkosh in 1868. He received his education in his native land and upon his arrival in this country set diligently to work in an endeavor to secure a home. He prospered and in 1874 purchased his present farm of 189 acres, which is not in a high state of cultivation with a good residence and other outbuildings, and with the improved and modern appliances with which his farm is equipped he carries on general farming, dairying and stock raising. He raises the best grade of stock, such as Poland China hogs and short horned Durham cattle, of which he has a fine herd of milch cows, from which he does a wholesale milk business. His farm is located four miles from the city of Oshkosh, and the improvements have all been made by his own hands and in his own way. Mr. Noebel is a Democrat in political sentiment, but has never found the time to devote to office holding aside from his home duties. He always exercises his rights at the polls, however, like every good citizen. In April, 1870, Mr. Noebel was married to Miss Caroline Zintler, who parents came from Germany to Wisconsin in 1868 and settled on a farm, where they made their home until their decease. Mrs. Noebel died in 1907, leaving a interesting family of nine children, all of whom are living at home, viz.: Ida, Emma, Lydia, William, Betty, Edward, Fred, Medo and Otto.
