Clifford Gorball was a Farmer, Plumber & owned his business in Historic downtown Lowell. Clifford Gorball gave the farm to his son Kitchel Gorball.


Lowell Plumbing and Supply Company

"...of which C.A. Gorball is the able manager, maintains a supply of everything in the line of sanitary plumbing supplies. Gas fittings, tubing and capping, lightning rods, well material, bath tubs and Quaker furniture. They do all kinds of sheet metal roofing, and sell windmills and tanks. Consult the reliable manager."

Gorball's firm was in a large frame building that once stood next door (west) of the present downtown hardware store. The old building was moved decades ago south to the alley, where it stood for many years as a junk store near the creek.


There were also many business places that were moved from their original locations. One of the oldest might be the frame, square-front building that once stood next (west) to the present Midtown Hardware (in 1909 it was the C.A. Gorball Plumbing Shop) and was moved south of the alley near the creek, where it served for many years as a junk dealer's business.
