INSIDE
The 2004 Goble Family Reunion will be held in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania July 10, 2004. We have made arrangements with the Holiday Inn - Battlefield in Gettysburg. They will guarantee at least 40 rooms for our weekend in July. The room rate is $109.00 per night. I know that will seem high to many, but for a tourist town on the east coast it isn't bad. The Holiday Inn - Battlefield is 5 blocks south of Business Route 15 and very near the heart of town. Our accommodations are within walking distance of the National Cemetery where Abraham Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg address.
OUR PLANS
We will meet in the ballroom at the Holiday Inn on Friday, July
9, 2004 during the afternoon and evening as cousins arrive. We will be able
to start setting up our displays Friday evening if we wish.
A continental breakfast is included with our rooms but there is a restaurant in the lobby that will serve a more substantial meal.
Saturday, July 10th we will gather in the ballroom starting about 9:00a.m. The first portion of our reunion will be meeting and greeting, attaching our nametags, looking at the displays and having our photographs taken.
We are planning a Civil War theme and encourage you to bring information about your Civil War ancestors to share. We would like information about your Civil War ancestor as early as possible so that we can locate the monument on the battlefield representing the unit/company they fought in. (We hope to visit the monuments on Sunday.)
A luncheon will be served in one end of the ballroom after which we will have our program and association meeting. I have already spoken to several cousins who would like to make presentations. We will dismiss late afternoon so some individual exploring of Gettysburg will be possible. We will either provide suggestions or arrange a planned guided tour. As the date draws closer the program of events will become more defined.
Sunday morning, July 11, we will meet for breakfast and say our goodbyes. The Holiday Inn will prepare a breakfast buffet for our group. This event is always optional. We may arrange a battlefield tour for Sunday afternoon if there is enough interest. Please let me know if you are interested in the breakfast and/or the tour.
Menu: Fresh fruit and
cereal, variety of fruit juices, ham, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, home
fried potatoes, waffles, French toast, buttermilk biscuits with sausage gravy,
baked apples, coffee, tea.
Cost: Adults $12.00,
Children 4-12 $6.00, Children under 4 complimentary.
RESERVATIONS AND COSTS
The reunion cost will be $25.00 per person. Children 12 to 6 will be $10.00 and children 5 and under will be free. This fee includes a luncheon on Saturday. The Sunday breakfast will be an additional cost for those wanting to participate.
Attached to this letter you will find a reservation form to fill out and return to the Holiday Inn. You may send a check or use a credit card to confirm your reservation. If you would prefer to phone the Holiday Inn you may do so by calling 717-334-6211. They do not have a toll free number we can use.

bar of lettuce, carrots, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, croutons,

James Irvin (11) Goble was born February 27, 1917 in Lerna,
Illinois. He was one of 9 children born
to Albert Clarence (10) Goble and Jessie Belle Eldridge. James/Jim married Mary Luella Morgan in 1946
and they had 2 children. Jim died
February 10, 2001 in Martinsville, Illinois.
The following was taken
from an interview Jim had with the Martinsville Gazette newspaper on June 5,
1995.[1]
Fifty Years Ago
GOBLE HELPED LIBERATE
EUROPE
The photograph is of Jim
Goble and his Army buddy, Carmel Denny.
Jim
Goble volunteered for military duty soon after the United States entered the
war but he was told to wait until his draft number of 51 came up near
Westfield. He registered for the draft
in both Coles and Clark counties.
Jim was assigned to a tank division because he knew
how to drive a truck. The job of his
tank platoon was to provide smoke screen for tanks. The smoke was actually white phosphorous. Jim said, “That was wicked stuff. Just a drop of that stuff could burn clear
through your arm.”
Jim was paid $21.00 a month. He said, “You didn’t have much left after
paying for your laundry and insurance.
Life insurance was $5.70 a month for $10,000 coverage.”
Jim was a little older than normal but
adds, “we had some guys in there forty-five years old. Some of them would say, we’ve got a boy in
the service. I aint no better than he
is, so I’m going to stay in !”
Jim trained stateside for two
years. He was at Fort Knox and Pine
Camp. His battalion had maneuvers in
Tennessee and the desert of California.
They had snow training in northern New York. “The first night I got up there we got eighteen inches of
snow. And that was in April! Then we came back to Texas. In Texas the division was divided into
smaller units. We were attached to
different infantry outfits overseas. We
went first with the 102nd that was in the Siegfried Line. Then they attached us to the 84th.”
Goble said that “the Siegfried Line
was a bunch of pillboxes. One pillbox
covered another pillbox so you didn’t have too much of a chance getting on the
blind side. They had artillery guns and
machine guns both. I think they were
twenty-some men that stayed in them, cooked in them and everything. They had an air pump that would suck air
through the concrete. If they were
closed up, one man would pump awhile and then the other man would pump.”
The Air Force was always bombing them
but they couldn’t hardly knock them out even with a direct hit. They were about four feet thick. They had dirt over the top of them. All you saw was the gun ports. You could be pretty close to one and
couldn’t see it.”
”Even before the pill boxes we
encountered the “dragon’s teeth.” These
were white reinforced concrete. They
were all up and down the line a hundred yards deep. The Germans had prepared the dragon’s teeth and pill boxes for
years with slave labor.”
Jim’s battalion crossed the English
Channel in flat-bottom LSTs. These were
the boats that would go up near the beach and drop off tanks and soldiers. “You had to wait till the tide came
down. About 300 yards out you dropped a
big anchor. You ran up on the
beach. It was supposed to be day. You dropped the door down, then you waited
till the tide came in to pull back off the beach. You had about four hours to land and unload.”
“Sometimes things didn’t work out as
planned. They got confused and the
timing wasn’t right. They went to drop
their door and it might be over the top of the tank. They drowned. There were
a lot of accidents.” “Some of
the tanks were intended to land in the water.
These were equipped with snorkels and the hatches were sealed. If the water was deeper than the snorkel,
these men were drowned. Many of the
landings were made at night, which made landing more difficult.”
Jim’s battalion fought next to the
English Army. “The English amused
me. We called them Dr. Pepper. At ten, two and four, they’d stop for
tea. It didn’t make any difference if
they were fighting like heck. Things
shut down and everybody got his tea out.”
“When the United States came ashore
at Normandy, the Germans were caught off guard. They had several divisions on maneuvers there but many of their
guys were home on furlough. They
figured they’d have a few days notice.
When we landed we landed with enough that we went in . We had to.
There was no turning back.”
Goble rode in a half-track, which was an
armored truck with wheels on the front and tracks on the back. It had quarter inch armor. A machine gun wouldn’t penetrate it. There was a gun mounted in the back with a
range of one mile.
Jim told how the guys on the front
didn’t take showers but once every six weeks.
“We took showers in our steel helmets. About every one you looked at was full of soap suds.” The guys that were five or ten miles back of
the lines could take showers regularly.
“There was always somebody on guard
while the others slept. While you could
sleep in your seat, the soldiers usually got out on the ground, dug a hole and
slept inside it.”
Jim wrote a letter that winter, “The
ground in the Ardennes was frozen so hard that eighteen jeeps and three half
tracks drove across a mine field laid by the Germans to hinder their advance on
Seilly. When the engineers cleared the
field the next day, they discovered that the paint had been worn off some of
the unexploded mines when the vehicles ran over them. What a lucky night for us!
There were 97 land mines in that road.”
A mine injured Jim later that winter of
1944 after the Battle of the Bulge. “We
were waiting to cross this river.
They’d cut the dam down south of us and flooded that whole river in
there and we couldn’t cross it.” “The
guy that brought our dinner up was in a jeep.
He decided he’d grease the u-joints on it. He ran the front wheels up on a couple of ammunition boxes. There was a block of wood sitting there and
he just picked it up and shoved it under the back wheel. That was a mine. When the u-joint wasn’t just right, he decided to spin his wheels
without taking the block out. He kicked
it in gear and gave it everything it had.”
“Four of them hit the door. I
watched everything turn real purple. It
set everything on fire in there. I was
the only one that got hurt in that deal.
I went into another part of the factory and they called the medics. They cut all my clothes off. Every stitch! I had little pieces of shrapnel all over me. Up my arms, my eyes, my legs.”
They took Jim out by ambulance. Seeing the factory on fire the Germans
attached. Two American soldiers were
killed. Goble was awarded a Purple
Heart.
Jim spent 60
days in the hospital. “It blew my ear drums out. I don’t have an eardrum on my left side.I can hear with my right ear but it’s getting pretty bad. The reason why the doctor kept me in the hospital so long was that he would go in there and acid on a swab and go around where the ear drum had been to keep it irritated so it would grow. Think that didn’t burn? One grew
back. The other didn’t.”
After his hospital stay, the Army could
have either sent Jim home or employed him in limited service. They chose limited service.

Our “Unsung
Hero”[2]
“And
as for you brothers, never tire of doing
what is right”

Thessalonians 3:13
Max Goble is our ”Unsung Hero” for January. Here is a man who is totally unsung, but so deserving. Max is a man who has been a member of our church since 1924. Yes, he has been attending for 79 years. What an example! Max has been involved in all kinds of ministries in the past, including serving on the Church Board, ushering, and being a member of a prayer team, to name a few. Max helped build the church over on Holly Street. When the building was sold and the building project began here, Max was on board. He volunteered full time for one whole year and part-time another year helping erect this church on the hill. We are all benefactors of his hard, dedicated labor. Max is still a faithful, boosting, encouraging, attending member. He radiates the joy of the Lord. Max has never tired of doing what is right. Max, we thank you and congratulate you on your long tenure serving the Lord in this place. May grace and peace in abundance be yours.
