John Kuebler, 235 Hrubetz Drive SE, (D)

Two brothers, E. Lowell and John H., both lived near their father on Rural Route 3 south of Salem in 1928. By 1958 that area was included in the city with John and his wife Ester identified as being at 235 Hrubetz Road in the home built in 1941. John may have died in 1984 as his name drops from the Directory temporarily. The property remained in the family until 1997, a period of 70 years. Kuebler Road was named for John’s father.
