Frances
"Fannie" Elizabeth Douglas was born 05 Mar 1860 in Iredell County, NC, to
J. Walter Douglas and
Mahala Catherine "Haley" Miller.
Frances Elizabeth was called Fannie by her family and friends. |
|
Some documents list Fannie's birth date as
1860 while others list it as 1861. Fannie's headstone at
Sharon Lutheran Church in Iredell County, NC, says that she was
born in 1861. The most important document, however, is the
1860 Census. On this document F.E. Douglas is listed as
being 3 months old. Fannie could not have been listed on
the 1860 Census if she wasn't born until 1861. |
|
Walter had been
married to Susan Stewart, but after her death he married Mahala
Catherine Miller in 1859. |

Fannie married
Jacob Hedrick Goble on 10
Dec 1884 at her family's home in Alexander County,
Miller's Township. Her marriage license lists her age as
23, but she would have actually been 24. Jacob was also
24. |

The 1860 Census shows Mahala "C.M." married to Walter/Walton and
living in Alexander County, NC, with his 5 children and their
daughter Frances "Fannie" Elizabeth (F.E.) who was
three months old. |

It's been suggested that the above left photo
is of Fannie and her two children Martin & Eliza Jane. My
copy of the photo came from the collection of Beulah Vernesta "Nessie"
Johnson Goble - wife of Martin Luther Goble and daughter-in-law
of Jacob & Fannie. The back of the photo lists those in
the photo as, "Fannie + Jack Goble (Jacob) + daughter Beck
(Sarah Catherine Rebecca "Becky"). |

The cause of death was "cerebral hemorrhage" and she was 66
years old. Her race was incorrectly listed as "Blk"
(Black). |
