HISTORY OF RANDOLPH COUNTY 241 Wabash system from Moberly to Des Moines. Not confining all his energies to one vocation, Mr. Nebergall studied the financial situation and in 1890 invested in a laundry business in Moberly in association with R. J. Gee. This partnership was dissolved in August, 1918 and Mr. Nebergall in association with R. J. Gee incorporated the laundry with a capital stock of $40,000. The business ran the first week about $55. Under their able management this has been increased until it is a slack season when the books do not show a turn over of more than $1,000 for each week of the year. Today the Moberly Steam Laundry has one of the largest plants in central Missouri. An up-to-date dry cleaning department is one of the features of the business and gives excellent service. Mr. Nebergall operates one of the finest cattle, horse and stock ranches in Wallace County, Kan., which is incorporated with paid up capital of $50,000. In addition to this place, Mr. Nebergall owns two sections of valuable wheat and grazing land in Edwards County, Kan., where he raises grain and carries on extensive dairying operations. He is also a stock- holder in the Durbin Malleable Foundry Company, of St. Louis, which is capitalized at $500,000 and being a patriotic citizen Mr. Nebergall has not neglected the home industries as he is a stockholder in the Moberly Trust Company. He is regarded as one of the substantial financiers of central Missouri. On Dec. 7, 1876, Mr. Nebergall was married to Miss Nellie Shumate, Jackson County, Ohio, and to them four children have been born: Charles C., in partnership with his father in the Gates Half Sole Tires and a bat- tery service station, Moberly; Jeanette, married W. G. Price, of Des Moines; Bessie, who married J. W. Faessler, of Moberly, and Lewis L., a bookkeeper in Omaha. Mr. Nebergall belongs to the Masonic Lodge and the Order of Railroad Conductors. He and his wife are members of the Baptist church, and he is a Republican.
