Fred Zobel migrated in 1883 from Posen, which was part of the German Empire. He migrated with his sister Bertha Zobel. The port of embarkation was Galveston, Texas. I never learned why they came to Texas. The earliest documentation I found for Fred was his marriage license to Martha Scheffer. I searched for him on the 1900 Census but never found him. I did find him and Martha on the 1910 census and found his naturalization papers in Washington County. He was a Bartender in a Saloon at that time. He died on 17 March 1919. His death certificate had his occupation a Merchant. I found a Card of Thanks in the Brenham Banner Press. It is as follows:
