On April 26, 1867 in Lewis Township, Clay County, Indiana, a daughter named Susan was born to George Puckett and Mary Edmonson Puckett.  Susan had at least four siblings–Richard, Sarah, Zirish and Lucy.  Not a lot is known about Susan’s early years.  According to census records from 1880 she attended school.  Her mother Mary passed away in 1898, and the following year at the age of 32 Susan married Joel Goble, a local farmer.

Susan and Joel remained in Lewis Township near the small town of Coalmont.  In 1902, they were blessed with daughter Margaret. Four years later, a son named Fredrick was also born.  For a time, both Joel’s and Susan’s fathers resided with them on their farm.

Through the years, Susan and Joel continued to work the farm.  On March 14, 1948, Joel suffered a fatal cerebral hemorrhage and passed away.  Less than a year later, on January 8, 1949, Susan passed away from the same cause of death.  Both were laid to rest at the Little Flock Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery north of Coalmont.
