CAUBLE FAMILY Among those
old pioneers who braved the perils and privations
of frontier life in
Washington County, and who felled the forests and laid the
foundation for
the inestimable blessings which the present generation now enjoy, was

on the old home farm, and farming
has always been his occupation. With him
industry has brought its legitimate fruit,
success, and he owns 285 acres
of land. In 1855 he married Sarah E. King, who

member of the Christian Church, a farmer by occupation, and a self -made
man. He
began life's battle a poor boy, and by hard work has secured a
valuable farm of 150
acres. Miss Nancy Gee, who was born in this county, October

Caubles
have retained the reputation for honesty and intelligence justly earned by
their
forefathers.
