George W. Cable, his parents being HIRAM and RACHEL (HENRY) Cable.
The father was a native of Jefferson county, New York, and the mother's birth occurred in Washington county, Ohio.
The family is of English lineage and was founded in America by James Cable, the grandfather of our subject, who came from England in 1770 and settled in Massachusetts, whence representatives of the name removed to other localities and established other branches of the family.
Mrs. Rachel Cable, the mother of George W. Cable, was of Scotch-Irish descent and was a lady of high character, whose influence has been one of the potent forces in the life of her son.
Hiram Cable, prominent in public affairs, labored along practical and effective lines for the advancement and improvement of the section of the state in which he lived. Various public enterprises were promoted by him and commercial activity was also stimulated by his efforts through the years in which he was engaged in merchandising in Athens county, Ohio.
Later he became one of the projectors of the Piqua & Indiana Railroad, now a branch of the Pennsylvania Central, and was one of the largest contractors in its construction.
He also served for nine years as a director of the company. He was one of the founders of the pictureque town of Cable in Champaign county and in many ways left the impress of his individuality for good upon the development and substantial upbuilding of that section of the state.
A republican in politics, he represented his district in the state legislature and did not a little toward molding public thought and action. He was a man of strong character, fearless in defense of what he believed to be right and his championship of any measure was an effective force for its accomplishment.
