Obituary: George Cable was born at Harford, New York October 20th, 1803, and died at Racine, Ohio Dec 31st, 1881, in the 79th year of his age.
Mr. Cable with his parents, moved to Ohio in 1819, locating in Athens County. After some years he moved to Meigs County, where he spent the remainder of his years, the last twenty four of which were spent in Racine. Mr. Cable was married twice, his first wife being Susan Johnson of Chester, to whom he was married October 16, 1828. After living together for twenty nine years and raising five children, all of whom are yet living, she died June 14, 1857. In 1861 Mr. Cable married Mrs. Rebecca Jones who departed this life July 15, 1880. Since the death of his second wife, Mr. Cable has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. M.V. Lasher.
For twenty years Mr. Cable has been in declining health having been afflicted with lung disease. His last illness was very short; two days before his death he seemed to be in about his usual health, nor indeed was he thought to dangerously ill, till late on the day of his death. He seemed to suffer but little and passed away quietly and peacefully. His death was like the gathering of the ripened corn, or the falling of the faded leaf. A few hours before his death, when told by the physician that the end might be near, he replied by saying that it made little difference to him, as he was ready for the crossing to Jordan.
For 63 years, Mr. Cable had been a faithful member of the M.E. Church. His religion was of the heart and life kind and was known and seen of all. He was a great lover of the church and of the ordinances and services of God's house, and a great reader of the Bible. During his life he read the Bible through a number of times, and within the last year had read the entire Bible through once and also read the New Testament twice. Just about two weeks before his death, he finished reading the Psalms having read them in twenty two days without the aid of glasses, and had commenced to re-read the same, having gotten as far as the 2nd verse of the 119th Psalm-"Blessed are they that keep His testamonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart." (which was used as the text for his funeral discourse) when death overtook him He laid the Book down to take it up no more, and passed over to receive the prize and crown. Brother Cable died as he had lived-in the faith and fear of God-and God took him. His life was a beautiful example of Christian devotion and Christian living. As a father and husband, and a Christian he was faithful and true; hence we sing:
"Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare's past;
The battles fought, the victory won,
And thou art crowned at last!"
