Died Nov 22, 1922
Brother of Mrs. Elizabeth Coble Carter
A pall of gloom has settled over this part of our county of the untimely death of Titus A. Coble who was accidently killed in his mill last Wednesday, November 22. No one was present, but from every indication he was accidently caught by a pulley which is about four feet in diameter and makes 250 revolutions per minute. A post stands within inches of the pulley. The pulley crushed his head against the post. His death was instantaneous.
Mr. Coble was a little more than 67 years old. On March 22, 1878 he married Wincey Jane Foreman to this marriage was born nine children-three daughters, Miss Cora Coble of Oakboro, Mrs. William C. Coggin (Sunie) of Albemarle and Mrs. Julius W. Whitley (Betty) of Murfreesboro, NC and six sons, Messrs. Quincey E.C.L.A. (Lee), Jason A.W.C. (Crawford) and J.W. (Guilford) Coble of Oakboro and J.A. (Lonnie) Coble of Raleigh. One sister, Mrs. Betty Coble Carter, one half sister, Mrs. Jacob M. Harward, and one half brother, Mrs. Ephraim J. Coble, all of Albemarle, all survive him.
Besides these a host of other relatives and friends mourn his going as the unparralled multitude at his funeral would indicate. It is estimated that more than three thousand were there to pay their last respects to his memory.
Rev. C.H. Martin of Polkton, a life long friend of the deceased, conducted the funeral service at Silver Springs Church. He used as a text "If a man die, will he live again?" He made the congregation feel that "to die is gain" His six sons acted as pall bearers and bore his body to its final resting place. The body was beautifully laid to rest by the undertaker, Mr. P.J. Huneycutt, in a steel vault similar to the one used by Mrs. Coble, one year and ten months before. The floral tribute was most beautiful covering both graves completely. By request, Mr. M.L. Green and the choir to sing quite a
number of the old hymns which were favorites of the decease. When Mr. Coble was in the prime of his manhood, he was looked upon as being one of the best singers in the Western Stanly. Many a person could see him singing in their minds' eye while the choir sang some of his favorites.
Death did not catch Mr. Coble unaware. He made a profession when he was 16 years old. He held on to his faith until the day of his death. He often said he was not afraid to go. He was a loyal citizen, a good neighbor always helping the poor and distressed, a devoted husband and a loving father. He was liberal in contributing to religious causes. He helped to build several church houses. His doors were always open to the ministers of every denominations and especially to the pastors of the community and the men who helped them in their meetings. He will be greatly missed, not only by his
children, but by the community in which he lived. His place will be hard to fill. A great man in Stanly has fallen.
His parents died when he was but a mere child. A few years later he was bound out to Mr. Daniel Reap, who was to give him a horse, bridle and saddle, and a year's provisions when he became 21 years old. He left Mr. Reap at the age of 22 years with a horse, bridle and saddle. Shortly after this, he married Miss Wincey Jane Foreman, daughter of Rev. Colombus C. Foreman. He worked for his father-in-law the first year for $150.00. The next year he received $200.00 He then bought a pair of young mules-Beck and Sam, and settled on a
part of his father's home place. From this meager beginning through industry and economy, he raised nine children and educated them and accumulated and left an estate estimated to be worth between $50,000 and $75,000.
Quite a number of men through his advice have been able to buy and pay for their own homes. Many a man in trouble has gone to him seeking advice. All young men found in him a friend who was always ready with an encouraging word to help him along. He will be missed for it seems that there is no one to take his place.
