Joseph Charles Pabst (1870 – 19 May 1924) was a New Zealand cricketer and doctor. He played five first-class matches for Auckland between 1894 and 1898,[1] and practised as a doctor in Auckland and Wellington.
Pabst's father was a German who migrated to Australia in 1860 and settled on the Bendigo goldfields, where he established a business as a butcher. Pabst was one of four children, two boys and two girls.[2] He studied medicine at the University of Melbourne, graduating as a Bachelor of Medicine in 1892,[3] was awarded first-class honours in 1893, when he was acting resident surgeon at the Melbourne Women's Hospital,[4] and graduated as a Doctor of Medicine in 1897.[5] He took up a position as house physician at Auckland Hospital in September 1894.[6]
Pabst played cricket as a batsman and occasional wicket-keeper.[7] Playing for the Gordon club in senior Auckland cricket, he was one of the leading batsmen in the competition in 1894–95.[8] He made his first-class cricket debut in January 1895, captaining Auckland to victory over the touring Fijians.[9]
Pabst married Frederica Isabel Peacocke in Auckland in August 1901.[10] They moved to Wellington in 1922, where he went into private practice. He injured himself when he slipped on the stairs outside his surgery and died a few weeks later in May 1924, leaving a widow and several daughters.[11]
