TROBEL, ABNER J.
In connection with the history of the state of Texas it may be said that there are few citizens of the present day who can claim priority in the matter of distinguished ancestral identification therewith to a greater extent than Mr. Strobel, for in both the paternal and maternal lines are found names that are exalted in the annals of this favored commonwealth. Even the brief data to be incorporated in this sketch will indicate adequately the truth of the foregoing statement, and on this score, as well as by reason of his personal standing as one of the representative citizens of his native country, is Mr. Strobel entitled to special recognition in this publication. He is one of the extensive farmers and stock growers of Brazoria County and maintains his home in the thriving little city of Angleton.
Abner Jackson Strobel was born in Brazoria County, Texas, on the 6th of September, 1858, and is a son of Lewis M. and Elizabeth (Washington) Strobel, the former of whom was born in South Carolina, in the year 1829, and the latter of whom was born at Nashville, Tennessee, on the 26th of August, 1835.
Abner J. Strobel, the immediate subject of this review, thus has much reason for reverting with pride to his ancestral history, especially as touching its identification with Texas. As a loyal and public-spirited citizen, doing his duty in connection with civic affairs and proving his value as one of the world's productive workers, he is ably upholding the family honors and is one of the sterling and popular citizens of his native county. He secured his elementary education in private schools in Brazoria County, after which he continued his studies about one year in the public schools of the city of St. Louis. He was matriculated in the University of the South, at Suwanee, Tennessee, as a member of the class of 1873, and there continued his higher academic discipline for about two and one-half years.
After leaving the university Mr. Strobel returned to Texas, and in 1876 he located in the northwestern part of the state, where he engaged in the sheep business, with residence and headquarters in Lampasas, San Saba and McCulloch counties. He remained in that section of the state for a period of seven years, at the expiration of which, in 1882, he returned to Brazoria County, where he has since been success fully engaged in farming and cattle raising, being one of the prominent representatives of these important lines of industry in this county and having a well improved landed estate of about 200 acres.
Mr. Strobel has been unwavering in his allegiance to the Democratic party and has given active service in the advancement of its cause. In 1906 he was elected tax collector of his native county, and of this office he has since continued the discriminating and valued incumbent, having been re-elected in 1908. He is a communicant of the Protestant Episcopal church, being active in the parish affairs of the church in Angleton. In view of the ancestral prominence in connection with the Masonic fraternity in the state, it is pleasing to record that Mr. Strobel is an appreciative member of this ancient and noble organization, in which his affiliations are here noted: St. John Lodge, No. 5, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, and Columbia Chapter, No. 34, Royal Arch Masons, both of Columbia, Brazoria County.
