REV. JONATHAN CABLE was born in Washington County, N.Y., June 15, 1799. At the age of four years he moved to near Sackett's Harbor, and in 1817, to Ohio. At the age of twenty-eight, he graduated in the University at Athens, Ohio ; he then went to the Union Theological Seminary, in Virginia, under the charge of Dr. Rice, where he graduated at the end of three years, paying his own expenses. In 1832, Mr. Cable was ordained to preach the Gospel, by the West Hanover Presbytery. From Virginia he went to Long Island, and thence to Ohio, during which time he converted many hundreds to the Christian faith. In 1834, he was married to Sarah Booth ; this union has proved one of the happiest events of his life. They have six children, four of whom are now living. In 1835, he became a worker in the great cause of anti-slavery, and as a lecturer and general worker in that field, we may safely say that he stands foremost in the long list of his co-workers. He is a prominent temperance advocate, and neither he nor his sons use tobacco or ardent spirits. He now lives on a farm, and is without a charge on account of ill health.
