Excerpt from History of the Gable Family If the handing down of an occupation from father to son through generations makes one an expert in a certain, special line, then the pres ent descendants of the Gable family should be Princes of hotel-keepers, for the family is one of the oldest in the county, and the name has figured conspicuously in connection with the hotel business for more than a cen tury. It is also found in the early annals of the state in connection with the transfer of property and the recording of deeds, which indicates that they were land-owners, and belonged to the same class which constitutes the substantial citizenship of a community.
