Biography

John was born in 1862. He passed away in 1948.

"John H. Gabriel, now devoting his attention to the practice of law, with a large and representative clientele in Denver, was born in Postville, Green County, Wisconsin, February 4, 1862, his parents being Joseph Stewart and Eliza Jane (Cunningham) Gabriel, both of whom were natives of Ohio. . .

"In his youthful days John H. Gabriel attended the Postville district schools of Wisconsin and later became a pupil in a select school for teachers. His youth was largely devoted to work on the home farm, for he took his place in the fields at the early spring planting and was actively engaged in the cultivation of the crops until the harvests were gathered in the late autumn.

"In 1879 he attended high school at Monroe, Wisconsin where he pursued his studies for two and a half years. In 1883 he became a student in the University of Wisconsin and was graduated in 1887 with the Bachelor of Arts degree.

"He then took up the profession of teaching in Portland, North Dakota becoming principal of the Portland schools. In the meantime he began the reading of law and afterward entered the law school of the University of Wisconsin, from which he was graduated with the class of 1889.

"In July of that year he went to St. Paul, Minnesota where he entered the office of A.G. Briggs, with whom he remained until he removed to Denver, where he entered upon law practice in connection with J. Warner Mills, the author of Mills Annotated Statutes, assisting Mr. Mills throughout the preparation of publication of this work.

"In the winter of 1893 Mr. Gabriel was appointed clerk of the senate judiciary committee and thereafter compiled the session laws of Colorado. He was also appointed secretary of the state board of charities and corrections and was also secretary of the state board of pardons, serving in the latter position from June, 1893 until December, 1895.

"On the 11th of September, 1894, Mr. Gabriel was married to Miss Mina L. Stone, of Reedsburg, Wisconsin, a daughter of James Riley and Parmelia C. Stone. He father, while serving with the Union army during the Civil War, was captured and sent to and died in Libby prison.

"Again entering upon the practice of law, he assisted in the preparation of Mills' Annotated Code and Mills' Digest of Colorado Reports.

"In 1898 he was appointed a member of the board of control of the State Industrial School for Girls and remained in that office until 1903. . .

"During Governor Ammons' term in office Mr. Gabriel was a member of the board of pardons, serving from 1913 until 1915. . .

"Mr. Gabriel is a York Rite and Thirty-second degree Mason. He has filled all of the chairs in the blue lodge, chapter and council and is now senior deacon in the Grand Lodge of Masons of Colorado."
