“From Vol. 2 History of Davenport and Scott County” by Harry E. Downer—S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1910 Chicago.
William and Sophia Zabel. The father was a blacksmith in his native country, where he remained until 1869, when the opportunities of the new world attracted him and he crossed the Atlantic, landing at New York. He at one made his way to Scott county and for four years was a resident of Davenport, after which he removed to Butler township, purchasing a farm of one hundred and sixty acres, which he occupied for thirteen years, when his wife died and he returned to Davenport.
He still makes his home in the city and is now living retired. In their family were eight children:
William, a resident of Winfield township;
Fritz, a resident of Butler township;
Charles and Albert, who make their home in Lincoln township; Amelia, who is the widow of Andrew Schwartz and resides on the old homestead property;
Meta, the wife of Henry Thoede, a resident of Butler township;
Alvina, deceased;
and Theodore, the subject of this review.
