Biography below is from INDIANA ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OF AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT, Vol. 5, by Charles Roll, Lewis Publishing Company, 1931:
Philip Kabel, president of the Farmers & Merchants Bank of Winchester, has built up a solid institution and a wide patronage.
Philip Kabel was born at Winchester, February 1, 1879, a son of John and Rebecca (Mendenhall) Kabel, natives of Randolph County; and grandson of Philip and Mary (Goetz) Kabel, natives of Germany, who located in Randolph County at an early day and here became substantial farming people, and the grandfather also conducted a woolen mill. The maternal grandparents, Nathan and Maria (Larisen) Mendenhall, were also early settlers of Randolph County, and farmers. John Kabel and his wife located at Winchester after their marriage, and for some years he was a public school teacher. Later he went on the road, but throughout his life he was interested in farming. His death occurred in 1917, and his wife's in 1898.
After he had completed the work of the grade and high schools Philip Kabel attended Earlham College, and at the age of nineteen years began teaching school. For the following eight years he continued that calling, and then decided upon a business career and entered his present bank as assistant cashier. Three years later he was made cashier, and February 9, 1921, was made president. The bank is capitalized at $50,000, and has resources of $845,000. It is the oldest banking institution in Eastern Indiana, having been established in 1857, and from then on it has weathered all of the financial storms that have destroyed one or other of the earlier competitors. Its policies are conservative, its connections are important, and its investments are of the most solid. Some of the best business men in this part of the state are on its directorate, and its name back of any project is sufficient guarantee for discriminating investors.
On August 14, 1901, Mr. Kabel was married to Miss Alice Reynard, born in Randolph County, a daughter of Elisha and Martha (Adamson) Reynard, natives of Randolph County. Mr. and Mrs. Kabel have had the following children: Rebecca, who was born in January 1903, was graduated from the Winchester High School and Earlham College, from which latter she took her degree of Bachelor of Arts, and she completed her Master's degree in the University of Indiana, and she has taught English in the McKinley High School since 1925; and Elbert, who was born November 15, 1910, was graduated from the Winchester High School, and is now a student of the University of Indiana. He was made a member of the Indiana University Band, which is called the All-American College Band of the United States. This band, of 100 members, is recognized as the leading organization of its kind in the country.
Philip Kabel is a Quaker, and is a member of the ministerial board of the Friends' Church, and he has held other offices in connection with it. His political belief makes him a Republican. Fraternally he affiliates with the Knights of Pythias. He is a past president of the Rotary Club; Fountain Park Cemetery Board has him as its president, and he has held the office for a long period, and at different times he has been on the school board of Winchester. He is an interested member of the American Historical Association and of the National Geographical Society. A well-educated man, he is interested in cultural subjects, and exerts himself to promote the advancement of the city along this line, as he does in a business way, and the results are gratifying and effective.
