RIPE OLD AGE
Mrs. Benjamin Goble Passes Away
at Her Daughter's Home
Mrs. Barbara Goble, wife of Benjamin Goble, departed this life at 10:15 o'clock on Friday night, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. D. Dilts, after an illness of four weeks of paralysis, at the ripe age of 77 years and 11 days.
Mrs. Goble, whose maiden name was Barbara Vandruff, was born in Greene county, Pa., and with her parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Joshua Vandruff, came west in 1829 and settled on the island in Rock River which bears their name, being among the very first settlers in this section of the country. They were well acquainted with Black Hawk, the Indians for a number of years being almost their only neighbors. She was married on August 22, 1833, to Benjamin Goble, who still survives her and who is personally known to many of our readers and to others through his interesting reminiscences which we have been publishing from time to time. Eleven children were born of this union, ten of whom are still living; Mrs. David Dilts and Mrs. C. E. Smith, of Moline; Merritte and Ferrel Goble, of Milan, two daughters in Iowa, one in Bureau county, Illinois, one in Nebraska, one in Kansas and one in Colorado.
The funeral will be held from the residence of Mrs. Dilts, No. 2601 Sixth avenue at 1:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Rev. Dr. Cumming probably officiating.

Introduction
Benjamin Goble was born 17 October 1813 at Fort Compton, Illinois Territory, in what is now Wabash County, Illinois. He was the son of George and Nancy (Arnold) Goble, and the grandson of Revolutionary Patriots Benjamin Goble and Stephen Arnold.
As a young boy Benjamin pioneered with his family in Wabash County, in Clay County, where his father ran a grist mill at Louisville, in Sangamon County, and in the area of St. Louis. In 1829 the family settled in Rock Island County where George Goble died 25 October 1829.
On 30 April 1831 Benjamin Goble signed a petition from the "Citizens of Rock Island to the Governor", requesting protection from 600 to 700 Indians who were destroying settlers' crops and livestock, and threatening lives. Benjamin was among the settlers of the Rock Island area who formed a company, elected officers and
named themselves "Rock River Rangers". They "tendered their services to General Gaines, who accepted the company of 58 men and on 5 June 1831, mustered them into service." Benjamin Goble served as corporal.
In August of 1833 Benjamin married Barbara Vandruff, who was born 24 April 1816 at Milan, the daughter of Joshua and Elizabeth Vandruff. The children of Benjamin and Barbara Goble were: Jesse, Vester, Ferrill, Merritt, Gemenemus, Ephraim, Emaline, Emily, Angeline, Rukesa, Barbara and Benjamin. In 1869 Benjamin and his family remained in Rock Island County when his widowed mother, Nancy, along with his brothers and sisters, joined a wagon train going west. This part of the family settled at Springfield, Oregon, where Nancy died 8 January 1870.
Benjamin, age 82, laid the cornerstone of the second Rock Island County Court House on 1 October 1895; his name is listed on the official program of activities that day.
Barbara Vandruff Goble died 5 May 1893. Benjamin Goble died 4 June 1901; both are buried at Chippiannock Cemetery, Rock Island.

PREFACE
That part of this narrative from 1811 to 1818, was related to me by my parents, after I was old enough to remember distinctly. Since that time the narrative is given as correctly as my own memory serves me, and being chiefly incidents in my own life, they naturally made a deep impression on me at the time.
Having had no opportunity for education, I am compelled to rely entirely on memory, and it is possible that I may, in a few instances, err in dates. But not as to the facts as related.
My life has been an eventful one, much of it spent on the frontier amid the dangers of the savages and the privations and hardships incident thereto.
Now that I have reached my sixty-eighth year, it is a matter of surprise and gratitude that I have lived through it all, while so many of my earlier companions have long since passed away.
To many this simple narrative will not be interesting. But it is prepared simply for my children and immediate relatives. I leave it to them as a personal memeto of my early experiences in the Great West, so that in better times which have come they may be reminded of the toils, dangers and sufferings of one who has helped to lay the foundations of our present prosperity.
BENJAMIN GOBLE.

BENJAMIN GOBLE - No state in the Union can boast of a more heroic band of pioneers than Illinois. In their intelligence, capability and genius they are far above the pioneers of the eastern states, and in their daring and heroism are equal to the Missouri and California argonauts. Their privations, hardships and earnest labors have
resulted in establishing one of the foremost commonwealths in America, the possibilities of which are greater than those possessed by any of her sister states. In Mr. Goble we find not only a pioneer of Rock Island county, but also a native son of Illinois, his birth having occurred at Fort Compton, Wabash county, October 17, 1813.
The parents of our subject were George and Nancy (Arnold) Goble, natives of Kentucky and Illinois, respectively, who were married at Fort Compton. The paternal grandfather, Benjamin Goble, was born in Ireland and as a young man came to America, where he was twice married, having by the first wife four sons, and by the
second three children. He was a farmer by occupation and died in Indiana. As a Continental soldier he took an active part in the Revolutionary war. Stephen A. and Sallie Arnold were the maternal grandparents of our subject.
The former was born in Kentucky and became one of the earliest settlers of Illinois, raising the first crop of wheat in this state. He was also a Revolutionary hero, being a captain of a company which valiantly aided in the struggle for independence. HIs death occurred in Wabash county, Illinois.
Our subject is one of a family of eight children, seven sons and one daughter, but with the exception of himself all are now deceased. The father, who was a farmer by occupation, came to Illinois in 1810, was married at Fort Compton, and died October 25, 1829, at the age of forty-five years, being laid to rest in a cemetery at Rock Island. His wife, who was a devout member of the Methodist church, long survived him and spent her last days in Oregon, where she died January 16, 1870, at the age of seventy-six.
In the year of his birth Mr. Goble, of this review, was taken by his parents to Clay county, Illinois, in 1826 removed to American Bottom, and the year following to Missouri, locating five miles north of St. Louis. In 1828 he went to Merrimac, and on the 26th of May, 1829, located in Rock Island county, with the development and
progress of which he has since been prominently identified. He at first worked at whatever he could find to do, receiving a salary of fifty cents per day, and has made as many as thirty-five thousand rails. He was often employed by Mr. Davenport, working on the site of the present city of that name, and helped hew the logs and
erect the log house for Colonel Davenport in 1832. In those early days he also spent considerable time in hunting, has killed over three hundred deer, and has captured one hundred and fifteen swarms of wild bees.
On the 22d of August, 1833, Justice Joel Wells performed a wedding ceremony which united the destinies of Mr. Goble and Miss Barbara Vandruff, a daughter of Joshua and Betsy (Weiscover) Vandruff, it being the second marriage in Rock Island county. Eleven children blessed their union, namely Emeline; Jesse; Vester; Louisa, wife of Jasper Woods; Benjamin; Sylvester; Barbara Ann, wife of David Dilts; Merritt; Emma, wife of Lee Hiserodt; Ferrell, and Angeline, wife of Frederick H. Cook, of Tiskilwa, Illinois. The wife and mother was called to her final resting in 1893, at the age of seventy-six years, after sixty years of happy marriage.
Mr. Goble was a soldier in the Black Hawk war and has been actively identified with every movement calculated to advance the general welfare or promote the prosperity of his native state. In 1852 he removed to Henry county, and became the owner of four valuable farms aggregating five hundred acres of rich and arable land. In connection with general farming, he also dealt extensively in cattle and hogs, which proved quite profitable, especially during the Civil war, when he sold one drove of one hundred head of hogs at eleven dollars and a half per hundred pounds and another lot at twelve dollars and forty cents. In April, 1869, he sold his property in Henry county and went to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he spent the summer and then returned to Rock Island county, living near Sears, on the island, until 1882, when he moved to Milan. After the death of his wife he lived for a time with a daughter in Tiskilwa, but now makes his home with his son Merritt on section 22, Black Hawk township. He has given all of his children a good start in life.
Being the oldest living resident of the county, Mr. Goble was honored by being chosen to lay the corner stone of the elegant new court house just completed in Rock Island. He has seen the country develop from an unbroken wilderness and has ever borne his part in the wonderful transformation that has taken place. He is noted for his remarkable memory, having the faculty of remembering facts and dates and associating them accurately. His honesty and integrity are proverbial, and he has the respect and esteem of young and old, rich and poor. In early life he was a Democrat, but since the outbreak of the Civil war has been an ardent Republican, and has ever proved one of the most loyal, patriotic and valued citizens of this great commonwealth.

Biographical Article
From Portrait and Biographical Album of Rock Island County, Illinois
Biographical Publishing Co.
Chicago, 1885
Benjamin Goble, one of the oldest native born residents of the great Prairie State, is now a retired farmer, living at Milan, this county. He was born in Wabash County, Ill., Oct. 17, 1813, on the Wabash River, 15 miles south of Vincennes, Ind.
Mr. George Goble, father of Benjamin, was born in Kentucky, married Miss Nancy Arnold, also a native of that State. They were of Irish ancestry. Both of Benjamin's grandfathers were soldiers in the Revolutionary War, one of them a captain. The subject of this biographical outline was the oldest of ten children, and is the only one now living! When peace was declared between the United States and Great Britain, in 1815, his father moved with his family into Clay County, this State, settling upon the Little Wabash River; in the spring of 1826 they removed to the American Bottom, near St. Louis, Mo.; the next year they went across the river and located five miles north of St. Louis; then they lived one year on the Merrimac River, south of that city; and in May, 1829, they came to this county and settled near the site of Moline, that is, about one mile east. The senior Goble died the succeeding fall, leaving his son Benjamin, then 17 years of age, practically at the head of the family, which then consisted of the widowed mother and five children. He "took up" a small piece of land and made some improvements upon it, but, owing to the changes made by our Government in its treaties with the Indians, with reference to reservations, etc., he lost his claim. When the Black Hawk War broke out in 1831, he and his few neighbors had to garrison themselves in Fort Armstrong, on the southern point of Rock Island. There they had to remain a month or two in each of the two years, 1831 and 1832, enduring many and severe hardships, in order to keep themselves secure from Indian hostilities. They had, of course, to lose their little crops, stock of domestic animals, etc.
After the death of his father, Mr. Goble remained with his mother until about a year after he was married, on the island of Lowell, now better known as "Little Island," in a small cabin 15 x 16 feet square. His marriage occurred Aug. 22, 1833, to Miss Barbara, daughter of Joshua and Elizabeth Vandruff, of Pennsylvania ancestry. Mrs. G. was born about 1816, and was but a child when her parents moved to Ohio; a few years later they settled near Rock Island and Moline, this county. In the spring of 1834, Mr. G. made a claim of 108 acres between these two points, which was then wild and unbroken, with more Indians than whites in the vicinity; that place is now known as the "Brooks place." Some years afterward he sold there and removed to "Rock Bottom," near the junction of the Rock River with the Mississippi; and after residing at several other places for short periods, he went to Henry County and purchased 500 acres of land, where he resided until May, 1869, when he traveled around in the farther West, but, finding no place that better suited him, he returned to this county. He, however, looked about for two months, without unloading his wagon, for a suitable location, and then settled on a farm on Big Island, near Rock River, and lived there until February, 1882, when he retired from active farm labor, came to Milan, and purchased a fine piece of property, where he now resides.
He has had 11 children, 10 of whom are yet living, all hale and hearty. The family have called a physician but once, and they attribute their extraordinary health mainly to their abstinence from intoxicating liquors, tobacco, tea, coffee, etc.
Mr. Goble, still having a remarkably strong memory, has recently published a book entitled "Pioneer Life in Illinois," in which many more interesting events, especially in this part of the State, are well and truly related.
Mr. Goble is a zealous Republican.
