Read More	Elmer married Viola S. Marx on May 8, 1917 in Le Mars, Iowa. Elmer and are the parents of three children: Eunice LaVonne Infant son b. April 24, 1918 d. April 24, 1918 ******** Alton Democrat; March 16, 1934 Elmer A. Goebel, son of Mrs. Peter Goebel of Alton died Friday, March 9, at his home in Sioux City as the result of streptococcus poising with which he had been ill since last October. He was at the hospital most of the winter and made a brave fight against the disease, but complications set in and he passed on at 9:15 on the morning on Friday. Elmer Anthony Goebel was born at Anton July 6, 1891, attended St. Mary’s Academy of which he was a graduate. He studied music at Maquokera, Iowa, and at the same time made a study of photography and fingerprinting. He was married May 8, 1917, to Viola Marx of Le Mars. Two daughters, Eunice, 14 years, and LaVonne, 11 years, were born to this union and one boy died in infancy. They lived at Fielding, Iowa for two years during which time Mr. Goebel was manager of a store. They settled at Alton where he assisted at the Homan Clothing Store and later became owner of the store. Business reverses during years of depression were disastrous and both business and home were lost to the family. Courageously they began anew, securing a position in Sioux City with Ellerman’s wholesale jewelry company where he was employed for about a year. Preceding the last election he campaigned successfully for Tice for sheriff, and after Sheriff Tice’s election he was appointed a deputy, the first deputy sheriff to be sworn into office. In this office his early study of finger print photography came into use and he proved himself an invaluable man in his new office, cataloguing 1500 finger prints after his induction into office an having charge of the office records, earning for the Sioux City office the reputation of having the best records in the state or nation, according to a letter received by the sheriff from Washington. In his industry, ability and upright character he won the respect and confidence of associates and others with whom he came in contact in his new work. Like his father, the late Mayor Peter Goebel, he was ever considerate of the unfortunate and his associates tell of many kindnesses done for prisoners awaiting trial, although he was always alert to his duty. It was told that one day when a dangerous criminal under arrest, though the carelessness of another deputy had escaped down an elevator, Mr. Goebel ran all the way down six flights of stairs and met the man at the elevator door, placing him under the arrest, though the deputy was without a weapon and but half the size of the prisoner. Besides his wife and daughters, his mother, those surviving are three brothers, Louis, Maris and Edward; and two sisters, Viola Mae and Stella. His father, the late mayor, and sister, Mrs. A.J. Riedmiller of Danbury, passed on within the last year and a half, and the family harem as well as the bereaved wife and daughters, have the heartfelt sympathy of the community. Mrs. Goebel and daughters will remain in Sioux City at least until June, so that the girls can complete the school year. Both are honor students at the Cathedral School. Services were held Monday morning at St. Mary’s Church. Interment was at St. Mary’s Cemetery.
