DAR GRAVE MARKING CEREMONY
CHARLES & CASSANDRA
PENNINGTON
SEPTEMBER 24, 2005
On Saturday, September 24,
2005, approximately 30 friends and family gathered at Otterbein Cemetery,
Hutton Township, Coles County, Illinois to dedicate DAR markers placed at the
graves of Rev. Charles Pennington and his wife, Cassandra Swartzlander
Pennington. These markers were placed
by the Stoney Creek Chapter, NSDAR, Rochester, Michigan and were dedicated by
the Gov. Edward Coles-Sally Lincoln Chapter, NSDAR, Mattoon, Illinois. Janice Goble Caloia, member of the Stoney
Creek Chapter and a great, great, great, great granddaughter of the
Penningtons, researched and applied for these markers. Growing up just ¼ mile east of the Cemetery,
and still owning some of the land that her 3rd great grandfather and
the Penningtons’ son-in-law, Joel Connely, purchased from the Government in
1830, Mrs. Caloia is especially thrilled to be bringing this honor “home” to
Hutton Township. Sarah Rebecca Connely
(great granddaughter of Charles & Cassandra Pennington) married Joseph (8)
Goble, Janice’s great grandfather.
In 1776
at 18 years of age, Charles Pennington volunteered in the Pennsylvania State
Militia, served as a waggoner and hauled ammunition and supplies in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, including Morristown, NJ where General George
Washington was encamped with his army.
Charles Pennington and Cassandra Swartzlander, daughter of Johann
Philipp and Maria Agnes Trost Schwartzlander, were married in about 1780. A Baptist minister for over 40 years, Rev.
Pennington and his family lived in Rowan County, NC; Grayson County, VA; Clinch
Mountain, VA; White County, TN; and Lawrence Co, IN before settling in Hutton
Township, Coles Co., IL in 1832, at 75 years of age.
HISTORY OF THE CHINO, CALIFORNIA POLICE DEPARTMENT
It
was 1887 when landowner Richard Gird parceled one square mile of his Chino
ranch and declared it the "Town of Chino." By 1891 Gird built a sugar beet factory and Chino became the
premier producer of sugar in the United States. With only 75 residents in 1890, the addition of the sugar factory
increased Chino's growth significantly and with it came the need for law
enforcement.
A
county-controlled "judicial-district" was formed covering the entire
township, and a large portion of the area surrounding it. This judicial district consisted of a
"justice of the peace" and a "constable". The constable was the enforcement arm
of the law, and the justice of the peace was the only sitting judge. Our first Justice of the Peace and Constable
Team was made up of John Wasson and Isaac Goble. These two men were stalwarts of the community; both were well
educated and successful. They were paid
very little. Mr. Goble was expected to
erect a rudimentary jailhouse on his own property with county funds paying for
the materials.

SAVING YOUR FAMILY TREASURES
Having a Disaster Plan
by Maureen Taylor
If you own treasured family
artifacts, photographs and scrapbooks, and who doesn't, then having a home
disaster plan is a good idea. Anyone who lives in an area susceptible to
floods, hurricanes, tornados and blizzards knows that sooner or later the
inevitable will occur. It can even happen due to fire and broken water pipes.
As a librarian and a photo
curator, I served on a number of disaster preparedness committees. Museum
curators and librarians know that preparing for an emergency before it happens
can save their collections. Most institutions have a plan that tells staff what
to do just in case the worst occurs. It's contains information on salvaging a
collection, a list of helpful contacts and outlines what supplies are kept on
hand to help cope with the aftermath. While it may be impossible to avoid a
disaster like a hurricane there are steps you can take to prepare beforehand.
Consult Those in the Know.
The Council of State
Historical Records Coordinators (http://www.coshrc.org/arc/hurricanerecovery.htm)
has pulled together an online directory of disaster resources available through
state archives and museums. There are articles on water damage, planning and a
list of vendors that carry disaster related supplies. Consult their documents
to protect your treasures, purchase necessary supplies and to prioritize what
to rescue. Knowing what to do if or when disaster strikes is the first step in
your home salvage operation.
Prioritize
In any emergency; first and foremost you should
protect human life. However, if you have a little time before you have
to leave your house, you may be able to rescue a few artifacts. When you have a
house full of memories, figuring out what to save first is a dilemma. Family
artifacts are not judged just on their commercial value, but their sentimental
worth. A few years ago, my daughter created a box of her special items to take
if we needed to evacuate the house. This container, that was small enough for
her to carry comfortably, contained her favorite baby toys and a few recently
purchased stuffed animals. She kept it handy for months just in case she needed
to make a quick getaway.
Apply these concepts to your
treasures and ask yourself a question: "If you could only save one thing
what would it be?" In order for you to realistically grab that one item
and run it would need to be light enough to carry. This might be a few family
photographs, your grandmother's jewelry, a scrapbook or a piece of your child's
artwork. Whatever it is, make sure you know it by heart so that you don't have
to think if time is short.
It's also a good idea to
have a priority list of what to look for when you're cleaning up afterwards.
Mud, chemicals and mold can quickly destroy photographs, documents, textiles,
and furniture, so the faster you can locate those items, the quicker you can
start cleaning them up and drying them out. Keeping small items like pictures
and family papers in one particular storage area will help you find them. Store
your family treasures in an area of your house away from windows, fireplaces
and water pipes and keep them out of attics, basements and garages. The best
place in your house is an interior closet.
Basic Necessities
There are certain things you need to have on hand to
deal with the clean up. Since you might not be able to purchase them in your
area in the midst of a disaster, create a home disaster response kit or
purchase one ready-made from ProText (http://www.protext.net/products/Products.html).
Their React Packs ($189.99) are designed for libraries and museums, but you can
purchase individual supplies to make your own either from ProText or your local
hardware store.
Here are a few items to keep on hand:
·
A
plastic tub for transporting materials and for storing all the following
supplies
·
Clean
water--for rinsing debris and contaminants off items
·
Rubber
gloves for handling items
·
Rubber
boots for walking in water damaged areas
·
Large
plastic storage bags (for freezing photographs, documents and textiles that
can't be cleaned and dried immediately)
Consider purchasing an
Emergency Response and Salvage Wheel from the Heritage Emergency National Task
Force ($12.95) . On one side are action steps for caring for nine different types
of collections and on the other are salvage details. Their website contains
additional details on how to save collections.
Who You Gonna Call?
When family items appear to be damaged beyond repair
you won't need Ghostbusters, but rather, conservators trained to stabilize
collections. The American Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic
Work, Inc. (http://aic.stanford.edu/)
has a Conservation Services Referral System on their website. Select a
conservator based on their area of expertise.
A quote on the ProText
website says it all, "How you react in the first hours of a library
disaster can mean the difference between a legacy and a total loss."
Substitute family for library and the meaning stays the same. Planning for
events out of our control will help you preserve that legacy for your
descendants.

(Southern Goble Branch)
The story below is about a Thomas Goble in one of our
English lines of Gobles. Written by Paul Woodham,
provided by Mandy Willard.
When Nelson’s Secretary, was
killed early in the Battle of Trafalgar, Thomas Goble acted as Secretary to the
Fleet. Thomas survived the battle,
retired from the Royal Navy in 1825 and, living until he was 89 years old, is
buried in the churchyard of St. Mary’s Church in the grounds of Portchester
castle.
Thomas Goble, born c1780,
was a son of James Holmes Goble of Arundel in Sussex, a Major in the Sussex
Yeomanry Horse Artillery. On the 5th
October 1805, at the age of 23, and just over two weeks before Trafalgar, he
joined HMS Victory off Cadiz from the 74-gun 3rd Rate, HMS Swiftsure
as an Able Seaman. After a week in the
Victory Goble was made a Master’s Mate.
At Trafalgar he served as Secretary to Captain Hardy and, on the death
of John Scott, Nelson’s Secretary, he acted as Secretary to the Fleet. In Benjamin West’s celebrated picture of the
battle, Goble appears close to the dying Nelson.
A week after Trafalgar Goble
was made Clerk and the following year he was appointed a Purser. After Trafalgar he was awarded Prize Money
of £44 4s 6d and a Parliamentary Award of £108 12s 0d. In the late 1840’s a medal was issued,
called the Naval General Service medal, and Goble was awarded this medal with
the Trafalgar Bar. (It would be great
to know where this medal is, maybe still with a family member, or in a
collection, or perhaps lost!) Thomas
Goble was discharged from HMS Victory on the 15th January 1806, on
request.
Another Thomas Goble fought
at Trafalgar on HMS Britannia. He was
also a Master’s mate and again from Arundel. The second Thomas Goble was killed
in the battle so there is no possibility it is the same person but perhaps he
was a cousin or somesuch!
Thomas married Mary Eliza
Goodeve on the 4 March 1822 at St. Mary’s, Portsea and later lived in Castle
Street, Portchester. They are buried
together at Portchester having died within a few months of each other in
1869. Mary died on 8 April 1869, at age
68 and Thomas on 5 December 1869, at age 89.
Sadly the tomb collapsed about two years ago and was filled with earth
to make it safe. The headstone is
presently lying flat upon the grave.
The Portchester Civic
Society has taken on the restoration of the grave as a local project and is
currently raising money through donations and events to restore the grave. It is hoped to finish the project by 21st
October this year, the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar.
