GABBERT, druggist and apothecary, is a native Indianian, born at Salem, November 27, 1853, and is of German descent. His parents, CHARLES D. and REBECCA (BARNETT) GABBERT, were natives of Kentucky and Virginia, respectively, and were among the early settlers of Washington County, Ind. WILLIAM P. was raised on his father's farm and in early years secured a good common school education. In 1870 he came to Paoli, and for three years was employed as general manager of the widely known ALBERT Hotel, which has since burned. He afterward clerked in a drug store for a time and was then sent to Orleans to take charge of a drug store at that place for DR. J. H. BOWLES, and there remained three years. In 1882 with JOHN A. HUDELSON for a partner, and under the firm name of GABBERT & HUDELSON, he embarked in the drug trade at Paoli and has since continued. MESSRS. GABBERT & HUDELSON have upward of $8,000 invested in their drug business and their store and stock is far superior to the average country drug stores, and would be a credit to any city in Indiana. The marriage of MR. GABBERT and Miss BELLE, daughter of JOHN P. and ELVIRA E. FOSTER was solemnized in 1874, and to them have been born two children: MAGGIE and CHARLES F., deceased. =========================================================================== If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access more information about Orange County, IN by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/in/orange/ ===========================================================================
