Obituary
Albert Henry Coble Obituary and Family Listing Dr. Albert H. Coble died in Frankfort last Friday, at the age of 80. Here was a man who had a varied career. He was a native of Carroll county, but early in the days of his manhood he came to this county, and for a number of years was engaged in teaching. He quit that profession to study medicine. Later on he practiced, was in the drug business, specialized in eye work, and finally became a piles specialist. He married a teacher named Barnett, who came from Kewanna. They had three sons, one of whom, Dr. Paul Coble, became quite an eminent physician in Indianapolis. He went to France at the time of the World war, but when he got on a boat to come home he committed suicide. Another son, Felix, died in Frankfort several years ago. The only immediate survivor is a son, Valen Coble, of New York City. Dr. Coble was chairman of the Republican central committee for 12 years. -- The Mulberry Reporter, November 11, 1935 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/255646274/albert_h_coble
