Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [206-207]

           CHARLES SCHUBEL, farmer, section 7, Huron Township, was born
        July 19, 1835, in Prussia.  His parents, JOSEPH and LUCINDA
        SCHUBEL, are both deceased.  The mother died in Prussia, in 1851,
        after an illness of three years.  Her death occurred in the same
        year in which her two sons — CHARLES and FRED — emigrated to the
        United States.  The father and a sister followed to the States the
        next year, and the family settled in Lexington, Mich.
           Meanwhile, the son, who is the subject of this sketch, had set-
        tled in Huron County, and the father resided with him. The latter
        was residing here during the fire of 1871, and suffered so much
        from the heat and smoke that he went to Lansing to remain for a
        time with his son FRED, who had settled in that city, and he died
        very suddenly a few weeks after effecting the change.
           MR. SCHUBEL was bred to the calling of a farmer.  His father's
        family came to Lexington, where the male members found ready em-
        ployment as woodsmen.  MR. SCHUBEL worked for LANGDON HUBBARD at
        that point for three years in the saw-mill and lumber woods, and
        went to Huron City to continue to operate in the interests of MR.
        HUBBARD from that point. He worked as foreman in a saw-mill for him
        until 1871.  Meanwhile he had bought his farm and was clearing it
        during his service for MR. HUBBARD, by the aid of hired assistants.
        The family took possession of the place several years previous to
        the occupancy of the present proprietor.
           MR. SCHUBEL is a Republican in political views and connections.
        He has been Supervisor several terms, and is now (1884) filling
        that position.  He has officiated four years as Justice of the
        Peace.
           He was married Aug. 17, 1861, to MRS. LUCINDA BOPP, whose first
        husband was drowned in a mill-pond at Huron City.  He left four
        children - JOHN, FRED, GEORGE and ROSA.
           MR. SCHUBEL is a member of the Lutheran Church.  His wife is a
        Catholic.
