Matt. ---- Fred Dobler and daughter Emma, from Albany, New York, are mentioned in this article. This may be Albert F. Dobler, who was born in 1844 in Wuerttemburg, Germany, to Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Fink. After immigrating to America in 1848 with his family, Albert went to reside with his uncle, John Dobler, in the city of New York; thence to Nashua, N. H., and, in 1866, to Albany, N. Y. In 1865, having previously assumed his uncle's name through legal procedure, Mr. Dobler assumed the management of his uncle's brewery. . . . Mr. Dobler was married in 1870 to Miss Emma B. Mott, of Fairview, Pa., and they had at least two children: Emma C, who married Dr. A. F. Baldinger, of 670 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, and John F. Dobler, who attended school in Cleveland. Mr. Dobler's family also included his niece, Miss Clara Mott, who was educated in St. Agnes' Female Academy (Episcopal), of Albany.
