Kable
Died

Mercer County, Ohio, death records indicate that an unnamed male child, the son of Adam (1861-1948) and Catharine (Hoffman) (1862-1913) Kable, died 23 July 1895. No age was given and death was due to a premature birth. [1]
The parents married 17 December 1890 in Mercer County and this was the father Adam Kable’s second marriage. Note that the mother’s name is spelled several ways on various documents and grave markers over the years–Katharine, Catharine, Katy, Hoffmann, Hoffman, Huffmann, Huffman. On this tombstone her name is spelled Katy but on her tombstone in the same cemetery, her name is spelled Catharine.
