Funeral services for Christian Goebert, who died yesterday at the Goebert residence, 335 Market street, First Ward, will be held 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon by the Reverend Ernst A. Tappert, minister of Zion's Evangelical Lutheran Church, with burial in the Goebert plot in Grandview Cemetery. Seven of the grandsons of the deceased will act as pallbearers. They are Howard, George and Roy Dunham, Louis, Wilber and Victor Wolfe, and Charles G. Lambert.
Christian Goebert was born in Hessen Darmstadt, Germany, in August 1843, and was a son of Christian and Elizabeth Goebert. He came to America in 1857 in company of his brother, Frederick Goebert, and sister, Mrs. Caroline Brown, and has since resided in the First Ward. For about nine years after his arrival he made his home on Vine street with the Brown family and since his marriage in 1865, he resided at the Goebert homestead on Market street opposite the High School. The deceased stared to work as a puddler for the Cambria Iron Company, remaining in that mill for about 30 years before being transferred to the Gautier department as a watchman. Mr. Goebert became a Cambria pensioner in 1913.
Christian Goebert and Miss Elizabeth Eichenour were married in Johnstown in 1865 by the Rev. Dr. Karl Taubner, then pastor of Zion's congregation. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Goebert. Three sons, George, William, and Frank Goebert died in infancy and Charles, another son, passed away here 23 years ago. Emma, wife of Leonard L. Lambert, one of the daughters, died in the Goebert home last December. The surviving daughters are Mrs. Elizabeth Dunham of the First Ward: Mrs. William Wolfe, of Dale Borough, and Miss Gertrude Goebert. He is also survived by 12 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, all living in this vicinity, and a brother William Goebert of Dale Borough. His other brother, Frederick Goebert, died here about 1874, and his sister, Mrs. Brown, passed away suddenly at her home on Vine street last summer.
The deceased was confirmed as a member of the Lutheran Church before leaving Germany and had been a communicant of Zion's Church during his long residence here. He was one of the oldest residents of the First Ward, in which district he was a voter for some 50 years. He started to vote in the First Ward when the polling place was located in the little brick schoolhouse at the corner of Market and Chestnut streets. This building, together with many others, was destroyed by fire following the flood of May, 1889. The Goebert homestead is one of the oldest in the First Ward. The property was formerly owned by Mrs. Goebert's father. On the day of the flood it was carried among the debris to Vine street, near the former residence of H. Y. Haws, but was later returned to the foundation on Market street.
