I think that is a GREAT! idea Jannine. I'm afraid I can't help you with
that, however I was looking in
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lrnoah/stpaul.htm
at St. Paul's Lutheran Church Cemetery (It is the oldest Lutheran Church in
the county.) and found the following COBLEs...can anyone identify who the
parents of Martin COBLE who married Turley FOGLEMAN?
I don't know who George COBLE was either, but the entry was interesting
COBLE, George -- Year Vth Ap. 1815
died in his XLth year
I would recommend any CLAPP, BOON, ALBRIGHT, ALLRED, FOGLEMAN, GRAVES, etc
researchers to browse through these cemetery records.

I have just discovered a search engine which returned
1,322 hits for the surname COBLE and 188 for KOBEL.
This should keep us busy for awhile!

Hello Everyone-
Below is an announcement from RootsWeb. I'm not sure exactly what the length
of time this "downtime" will be. Hopefully not very long!
Jean
Starting at 8 a.m. PST Friday, February 23, RootsWeb will begin a planned
temporary downtime for maintenance of its servers and hosting process. It
will limit this downtime as much as possible, and will return with increased
performance and reliability for future growth.
In the meantime, please take time to visit RootsWeb.com's sister sites --
Ancestry.com and FamilyHistory.com -- where you will find additional tools
such as message boards, communities, and databases to help you in the search
for your ancestors.
Thank you for your patience.

> Living to the age of ninety-three, and more, one of the sturdy pioneers
> of Wabash County, David Coble, who had successfully withstood the ravages

accident
> on the street car line.

> enter a hand in each case for the street car men seem to have been as
careful
> as could be asked.
>
> The accident of this morning, which tore away one of the oldest and
best-known
> residents of Wabash, was due to the overestimation of his strength by Mr.
> Coble.
>
> This morning, shortly before ten o'clock, Mr. Coble, decided that he
wanted
> to walk to the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. P. Jones, on north Wabash
> Street.
>
> He refused all entreaties to wait and ride and started on the walk alone.
> Unable to persuade him not to go, his daughter, Miss Coble, telephoned
> to Mr. Jones and Mrs. Ed Holder drove to meet him, but arrived too late.
>
> Owing to his age and his rugged life, Mr. Coble did not realize that he
> was not strong and in his childish pleasure at the trip he continued his
> way. At the intersection of Columbus and Vernon Streets he continued on
> Columbus Street.
>
> This part of the street is cut off from traffic, regularly, and so the
> street car men did not expect to meet with anyone. At a sharp curve, at
> the stone crusher, Mr. Coble yielded to exhaustion or the infirmities of
> age, and fell forward, his left leg and left arm over the track.
>
> He lay there, still, as the city car came along, Will Chasey, motorman
> and Hiram Guthrie, conductor. Both say that the curve and the surroundings
> prevented their seeing Mr. Coble as he lay helpless.
>
> The car struck him and amputated the left leg about ten inches below the
> thigh. The left arm was also amputated, leaving a stump about five inches
> in length. On the left side of his head was a wound, no doubt caused by
> his falling upon the hard road.
>
> At once the car was stopped, Dr. N. H. Thompson called, the accident
occurring
> at 10:30 o'clock. Dr. Thompson was soon there and finding it would be
better
> to hasten to the house than remain by the road, Mr. Coble was tenderly
> placed in the car and a quick run was made to his home on West Pike
Street.
>
> At some time on the run to the house, death came, the condition of Mr.
> Coble being so weak that it could not be told just when death came. He
> never suffered pain and knew nothing of the accident, death coming to him
> without any harshness to him, after so many active years.
>
> The street car men assert they had the car under perfect control but on
> a street closed to traffic, at the curve which was so sharp and with his
> lying quietly they had no way of learning that he was on the track and
> the fatality was not a result of their carelessness.
>
> In this investigation would seem to bear out the statement. Mr. Coble,
> because of his great age, was more or less childish and thought he could
> make a trip as he desired although it developed that several persons had
> warned him. As soon as Mr. Jones knew he was walking they hastened to meet
> him but could not save him from the death that came.
>
> Mr. Coble was sturdy and a man of integrity and strength of character.
> A member of the Friends' Church, he was always devoted to its teaching
> and was a man among men.
>
> For years he was a noted hunter and has killed deer in this vicinity, as
> well as in other localities. Even after he had passed ninety years of age
> he went hunting for short distances, often, and he took great delight in
> the chase. As a hunter he won distinction among those who knew of his
feats.

> life was active and honorable in all things. A gentleman of the old school
> he was courteous and made and kept friends even to the last. For several

education

mercantile

His father James Joseph Coble, Grandfather William Edward Coble, Great
Grandfather William Wesley Coble (leadville, Co lawman)
seems as though they came through Pennsylvania, possible links with
Albert Sidney Mangold, bord 1883 in Pitts, Penn.
He thinks connected to Thomas Obrien from about the same area.
