      WILLIAM H. AUBEL,
  
  [p. 569] general contractor, has been a resident of New Castle for the
  past ten years and is identified with its industrial interests. He was
  born in 1865, in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.
  
  Samuel M. Aubel, the late father of William H., followed both farming
  and contracting for a number of years, and was a very well known citizen
  in his community.
  
  William H. Aubel was reared and educated in his native county, and there
  learned the carpenter trade. In 1898 he came to New Castle, and
  immediately found employment with those who could appreciate his skill
  and soon began contracting, and has continued in the same ever since.
  During the past four years Mr. Aubel has successfully handled some of
  the largest building contracts in the city and to mention the buildings
  he has constructed calls attention to some of the finest in New Castle.
  He built the wholesale Notion Company or Marquis Block, on South Mill
  Street; completed the Elmira Home, the Annex to Westminster College, at
  New Wilmington; built the Simpson Methodist Episcopal Church in South
  New Castle, as well as Mrs. Fisher's handsome house on Sheridan Avenue,
  and now has on hand an $8,000 job in the construction of the C. M. Duff
  residence on Leisure Avenue, in the Fair Ground plat. Mr. Aubel owns
  also an interest in the Mahoning Valley Lumber Company, and his own
  residence at No. 4 Smithfield Street.
  
  Mr. Aubel was married in 1887, to Miss Clara E. Stoyer, who was born in
  Mercer County, and they have five children: Verne W., Cliff E., Mina C.,
  Ross M. and Grace L. The eldest son is working in a mine in the West,
  qualifying for the profession of a mining engineer. He has already spent
  two years in the Pennsylvania State College and proposes to complete his
  studies in the College of Colorado. He has inherited many of his
  father's characteristics, and his talents lie in the same direction, but
  in another branch. Mr. Aubel and family belong to the First Presbyterian
  Church, of New Castle, in which he is serving as an elder.
