Ten years later and very little has changed. The family was
still living in the Kings Mountain Township of York County,
South Carolina and James Andrew Goble was
still working as a farmer. There was a discrepancy in James
Andrew and Maggie's age when compared to the 1900
Census. The Goble Family was renting the farm where they lived.
This 1910 Census shows that James Andrew Goble was born
in North Carolina and not South Carolina as the 1910 Census
shows. James Linden Goble's age was listed
as14. |

James enlisted in the U.S. Army and served his country
during
World War 1 as part of Co. D, 18th Machine Gun Battalion. He
was Honorably Discharged on 12 Jul 1919 at the end of the war.
After his military service, he moved back home with his parents. |
|
|
James married (1) Annie Mae Barry/Berry about 1920 in
York County, SC. He was 25 and she was 21. Annie was born
29 Apr 1899 in York County, SC, and was the daughter of
William Steele Berry (1860 - 1925) and Mary
Isabelle McCarter (1868 - 1950). Records seem to
indicate that their marriage produced nice children but only
four survived infancy. |

The 1920 Census shows James Andrew & Margaret still
living in the Kings Mountain Township of York County, South
Carolina. Earlier Census records showed that James Andrew
couldn't read or write, the the 1920 Census says that he can.
James Andrew and Margaret's ages are both listed as
64 - which is incorrect. The 1920 shows he was born in SC but it
was actually NC. |
|
James Linden Goble, age 24, has married Annie
Mae Berry, age 20, and they are living with his
parents and working as "Farm Laborers" on his parent's farm. |

The 1930 Census shows the Goble family still living in
the Kings Mountain Township of York County, SC, on Hoover Road.
James Linden Goble has taken over the role
as Head of the family and they are still renting the family farm
and working in the fields. James Linden, age 34,
and Annie Mae, age 31, have three children:
Maggie Bell age 10 (born 26 Sep 1920), Brown
Neil age 7 (born 07 Mar 1923) and William
Coleman age 3 months (born 13 Dec 1925/1926). The Census
indicates that he was a veteran of
World War 1. James Linden Goble's
parents James Andrew (incorrectly listed as "James
L."), age 69, & Margaret Goble, age 74, are
still living. James Andrew Goble and his parents (Luther
Absalom Goble and Margaret Ann Rhodes) were born in
North Carolina. The family continues to work on their rented
family farm. |
|
There are age discrepancies on this 1930 Census. Most public
records (including Social Security and U.S. Veterans Gravesite)
list William "Billie" Coleman Goble's
birth as 13 Dec 1925 or 13 Dec 1926. Some actually show that he
was born in 1927. On this Census, William/Billie's
age is listed as 3/12, or 3 months old. Ten years later on the
1940 Census, William/Billie's age is listed as 13.
Could it be that the Census taker intended to put 3 years but
instead put 3 months? That's a question that we will never be
able to answer, but we do know that he was older than 3 months. |

The 1940 Census shows the Goble family still living in
the Kings Mountain Township of York County, South Carolina.
James Linden Goble was 44 and Annie (incorrectly
listed as "Addie") was 41. They have three of their children
still living at home. Brown was 17, William/Billie
was 13 and Nancy Grace was 1.5 months old (and not 1 year
as is listed on the Census. James' parents James Andrew
and Margret are still living with them |
|
The Census shows that James Linden Goble
owns the family farm now and that the value of their home is
$810. James was no longer working as a farmer. He and his
eldest son, Brown, were both working at a local cotton
mill where James was a "Carpenter" and Brown was a
"Sweeper". James worked 52 weeks in 1939 at the cotton
mill and his yearly income was $825. The Census further shows
that James had worked 40 hours the week before the Census
was taken. Brown had worked 12 weeks and his yearly income
was $16. |
|
This Census gives information about the amount of education each
person in the family had received. James Lindon Goble had
completed the 7th grade where Annie had completed two years of
high school. Eldest son, Brown, had completed 4 years of high
school and 13-year-old William/Billie had completed 7th grade. |

Children |
|
James Linden Goble and Annie Mae Berry Goble's eldest son,
Brown Neil Goble, died 01 Jun 1959 at the age of 34 from
Congestive Heart Failure complicated by Rheumatic Heart Disease.
According to his Death Certificate, Brown had been dealing with
Congestive Heart Failure for 8 weeks and Rheumatic Heart Disease
for over 20 years - at least from the time he was a 13-year-old
boy. |
|
Congestive Heart Failure is a weakness of the heart that leads
to a buildup of fluid in the lungs and surrounding body tissues.
Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) is the most common acquired heart
disease in children in many countries around the world and is
caused by rheumatic fever (a strep infection). Treating strep
throat with antibiotics can prevent rheumatic fever. |
|
Brown was married to Lilah Virginia Workman Goble
at the time of his death and the couple was living at 502 Davis
Park Rd in Gastonia, Gaston County, NC. Brown died at Baptist
Hospital in Winston-Salem, NC. |
