BIOGRAPHIE: Biography History of Brown County, Minnesota, pages 423-424 ANDREW J. GOBLIRSCH One of the well-known men in financial circles in Brown county is Andrew J. Goblirsch, of the State Bank of Cobden, Minnesota. He was born in Lafayette, Nicollet county, this state, March 5, 1881, and is the son of John and Elizabeth Goblirsch, both natives of Austria, in which country the father grew to manhood, was educated and remained until he was thirty-five years of age when he immigrated to the United States, taking up a homestead in Lafayette township, Nicollet county, Minnesota. By hard persistent labor he developed a good farm from the virgin prairie and there spent the rest of his life, dying in 1908. His family consisted of ten children, namely: Adam, George, John, Mike, Joe, Frank, Charles, Anton, Andrew J. and Katherine. The subject of this review grew up on the homestead where he worked when a boy, and he received his education in the public schools of this community in Nicollet county, but upon leaving school at the age of eighteen, he went to Mankato, spending two years as a student in the normal college there, and then began working in a general store in Lafayette, remaining there two years, after which he took an interest in a mercantile business in Wabasso, Minnesota, where he remained about three years then went to Leonard , North Dakota, and was assistant cashier of the First State Bank of that place for three years. From there he went Grace City, that state, where he became assistant cashier in the Farmers and Mechanics Bank and remained in this position one year, after which he went to Morgan, Minnesota, and engaged in the grocery business one year, then became cashier of the State Bank of Cobden, where he has since remained. This bank has a capital of about ten thousand dollars, two thousand dollars surplus and about eighty-five thousand dollars assets. Mr. Goblirsch has done much toward its steady growth. Mr. Goblirsch was married in 1904 to Susa M. Welter, a daughter of Peter and Louise Welter. Her father was born in Luxemburg, Germany, and the mother was a native of Wisconsin. Mrs. Goblirsch was born in Sleepy Eye. Nine children, two sons and seven daughters, were born to Mr. and Mrs. Welter. To subject and wife four children have been born, namely: Edmund, Marguerite, Evelyn and Elaine. Politically he is a Democrat.
