He was born October 1, 1837 in Rockbridge County, Virginia, and died August 20, 1913 in Crawsfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana.
Notes for Arminta Ann Goben:
According to family information passed down, Arminta died from complications of childbirth from her fifth pregnancy. The baby lived for a short time before dying. As far as is known, no name was given to the baby. It's possible that Arminta and her baby may be buried together. Her tombstone at Youngs Chapel Cemetery reads 'Aged 31 yrs., 3 mos.' It is also inscribed with 'Minta A. Wife of W. A. Deitrick'. Her short obituary doesn't mention anything about the pregnancy.
About a year and four months after Arminta Goben passed away, her husband William Alexander Deitrick re-married to Arminta's younger sister Martha M. Goben Schumaker.
The following obituary was found in the 9/5/1872 edition of the Crawfordsville Weekly Journal under the heading of FROM BINFORD'S STATION:
"Died, August 24, Mrs. William Deitrick,
She was in delicate health, but arose in the morning as well as usual, and before breakfast was a corpse. She died of heart disease. It has only been a couple of months since Miss Bell Deitrick died."
OBITUARY COMMENTS:
The obituary was written more than a week after Arminta's passing. It's assumed though not known for sure that the wording of this short and direct obituary probably came from her husband, William Alexander Deitrick. A lot of grief and frustration was summed up in a few words. Miss Bell Deitrick was his younger sister Arabelle M. Deitrick who had died at the early age of 30 on June 28, 1872 which was less than two months before his wife died. The date given for Arminta's death in the obituary is a couple of days after the date given from other known family records of her death. The August 24 date is most likely the date she was buried.

Notes for William Alexander Deitrick:
William was the only surviving son of the family of Michael and Martha Paxton Deitrick. He was 12 years old when his father died in 1849 and became the only male member of the family. After the family moved from Rockbridge County, Virginia to Montgomery County, Indiana in 1850 the farming skills he learned from his father and Paxton relatives helped to support his mother and five sisters. It's believed that he learned a strong sense of responsibility as a result of his early experiences that helped to strengthen him after both of his wives passed away at early ages. William was about 25 years old when the Civil War began. It's believed that his sense of responsibility to his family and as the only male member of the family, he most likely did not serve in the Civil War. No Civil War service records have been found for him.
Living in close proximity to the Young's Chapel Church in North Union Township of Montgomery County, religion was probably an important part of his life that helped to sustain him through the rest of his life. It's believed that William probably met his first wife Arminta Goben at Young's Chapel Church which is believed to have been located next to where the Deitrick family lived in the northern part of Union Township in Montgomery County, Indiana. Arminta's father Jesse Goben was a minister that preached at Young's Chapel Church.
William Deitrick's two wives were sisters. He married Arminta Goben on 4/17/1862 who was the mother of his four children and passed away on 8/22/1872.

By the time of the 1880 Census, William's four children and the two Shoemaker boys were living with relatives in Montgomery County, Indiana. Son Frank was living with his Aunt Mary 'Mollie' Deitrick Hutton and Grandmother Martha Paxton Deitrick in the Young's Chapel neighborhood of Union Township.

Daughter Nina along with James and Baylor Shoemaker were living with their grandparents, Jesse and Arminta Plunkett Goben in Union Twp., Montgomery County, Indiana which was just one house away from where Mathias and his family lived. Son Edgar was living with his Uncle John L. Goben and family in Brown Twp., Montgomery County, Indiana.
According to the 1880 Census, William was living in Waveland, Brown Twp., Montgomery County, Indiana. He was a boarder with the family of William Bridges. He is listed as age 42 and a widower. He is listed as an agent for S. M. It's not clear what these initials stand for but it's possible that he may have begun working for the Shades State Park at this period of time which was close by. He would become the President of the Shades State Park organization sometime after 1900. A photo of him is labeled, President of Shades State Park. He is listed as being born in Virginia and his parents are listed as being born in Virginia.

At this time the county had a Republican majority and he was the only Democrat elected. In 1890 he was re-elected over John C. Wingate with six hundred and fifty-five majority.
In 1886 the trials on the contested election of Mr. Goben before the commissioners took place. There were two trials in the Circuit Court before juries, and these were appealed to the Superior Court and every trial resulted in his favor. The claim was that at the end of one year as Treasurer, his accounts were short $27,723.12. He resigned his office, his bondsmen were released and new bonds were furnished. He was re-instated as per agreement with the County Commissioners and continued in the office until the close of the term, refusing a second nomination.
The farm he owned consisted of 250 acres in Coal Creek and Madison Townships and he also owned a beautiful residence at 212 South Grant Avenue in Crawfordsville. He was affiliated with the Knights of Pythias, De Baird Lodge and has passed the chairs.
Obituary from the Friday 6/25/1926 Crawfordsville Journal:
John L. Goben, formerly county auditor, county treasurer and prominent in Crawfordsville and Montgomery County affairs for years, died Thursday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the home of his son, Earl Goben, at Champaign, Ill., where he had made his home for the past few years. Death was the result of cancer and complications.
Mr. Goben was eighty-three years of age, having been born six miles north of Crawfordsville May 20, 1843. He was the son of Jesse J. and Arminta Goben. He received his early education in the county schools and later attended Wesley Chapel. After completing his studies there he taught school in Montgomery and neighboring counties for a few years and then took up farming. He was married fifty-five years ago to Mary Ann Canine of this county.
He was always a member of the Democratic Party, and was elected treasurer of Montgomery County about thirty-five years ago. Two years after serving as treasurer, he was elected county auditor.

Notes for William Alexander Deitrick:
William was the only surviving son of the family of Michael and Martha Paxton Deitrick. He was 12 years old when his father died in 1849 and became the only male member of the family. After the family moved from Rockbridge County, Virginia to Montgomery County, Indiana in 1850 the farming skills he learned from his father and Paxton relatives helped to support his mother and five sisters. It's believed that he learned a strong sense of responsibility as a result of his early experiences that helped to strengthen him after both of his wives passed away at early ages. William was about 25 years old when the Civil War began. It's believed that his sense of responsibility to his family and as the only male member of the family, he most likely did not serve in the Civil War. No Civil War service records have been found for him.
Living in close proximity to the Young's Chapel Church in North Union Township of Montgomery County, religion was probably an important part of his life that helped to sustain him through the rest of his life. It's believed that William probably met his first wife Arminta Goben at Young's Chapel Church which is believed to have been located next to where the Deitrick family lived in the northern part of Union Township in Montgomery County, Indiana. Arminta's father Jesse Goben was a minister that preached at Young's Chapel Church.
William Deitrick's two wives were sisters. He married Arminta Goben on 4/17/1862 who was the mother of his four children and passed away on 8/22/1872.
He married as his second wife, Martha Goben Shoemaker, Arminta's sister on 12/8/1873 who passed away on 2/25/1876. William was both uncle and stepfather to Martha's two sons, James and Baylor Shoemaker from her first marriage.
By the time of the 1880 Census, William's four children and the two Shoemaker boys were living with relatives in Montgomery County, Indiana. Son Frank was living with his Aunt Mary 'Mollie' Deitrick Hutton and Grandmother Martha Paxton Deitrick in the Young's Chapel neighborhood of Union Township. Son William Robert Deitrick was living with his uncle Mathias Goben and family in Union Twp., Montgomery County, Indiana. Daughter Nina along with James and Baylor Shoemaker were living with their grandparents, Jesse and Arminta Plunkett Goben in Union Twp., Montgomery County, Indiana which was just one house away from where Mathias and his family lived. Son Edgar was living with his Uncle John L. Goben and family in Brown Twp., Montgomery County, Indiana.
According to the 1880 Census, William was living in Waveland, Brown Twp., Montgomery County, Indiana. He was a boarder with the family of William Bridges. He is listed as age 42 and a widower. He is listed as an agent for S. M. It's not clear what these initials stand for but it's possible that he may have begun working for the Shades State Park at this period of time which was close by. He would become the President of the Shades State Park organization sometime after 1900. A photo of him is labeled, President of Shades State Park. He is listed as being born in Virginia and his parents are listed as being born in Virginia.
According to the 1910 Census, William was a boarder at a hotel in Waveland, Brown Twp., Montgomery County, Indiana that was run by the Charles Simons family. William is listed as age 72 and a widower. He is listed as being born in Virginia and his parents were born in Virginia.

Notes for William P. Goben:
Obituary from the Tuesday 2/16/1926 Crawfordsville Journal:
Note: The spelling of the family name is as it appears in the obituary.
William P. Gobin, one of the most prominent of the older residents of the city, died at 9:25 o'clock Monday night at his home, 107 South Walnut Street.
Heart trouble and dropsy, with which he had been seriously ill for fourteen weeks, caused his death. He had been in failing health for three years.
He was born on May 20, 1849, in this county, the son of Jesse J. and Arminta Plunkett Gobin. Twenty years ago he was married to Mrs. James McClure, who survives him.
Mr. Gobin was an old school Baptist and was widely respected for his honesty, sincerity and deep devotion to his family and friends. A daughter, Mrs. Jesse Lee Pitman (from William's second marriage), preceded him in death last summer.
He is survived by his widow, a daughter, Mrs. Thomas (Sally) Endean (from William's first marriage) of near this city; two brothers, J. L. (John Lee) Gobin of Urbana, Ill., and M. V. (Mathias VanCleve) Gobin of Danville, Ill., two grandsons, Edward and Paul Endean, and a number of nieces and nephews.
The Rev. C. L. Airhart, assisted by the Rev. Guy O. Carpenter, will have charge of funeral services, the time of which has not been decided.
BURIAL NOTE: His burial location was not mentioned in his obituary and hasn't been located in cemetery records for Montgomery County, Indiana. Assuming that he wasn't cremated, it is believed that William is probably buried in Montgomery County and possibly at Oak Hill Cemetery in Crawfordsville. It's believed that either his burial record got misplaced or otherwise he may have been cremated. Another possibility is that he may be buried in an unmarked grave near his first wife Elizabeth who is buried at Young's Chapel Cemetery.

Notes for Elizabeth "Amy" McIntyre:
Her tombstone lists her as Elizabeth with a death date as 6/14/1887 and also reads 'Aged 27 yrs., 4 mos., 10 days.' This calculates her date of birth as 2/4/1860. Her tombstone is also inscribed with "Wife of W. P. Goben".
Her daughter, Sallie Goben lists Lizzy McClure and William Goben as her parents on her 1903 marriage record.
No marriage record for William Goben and Elizabeth McClure can be located in Montgomery County, Indiana but a marriage record has been found for William Goben and Amy M. McIntire.
It's believed that Elizabeth's last name of McClure was probably a typographical error in her daughter's marriage record. No other marriage records for Elizabeth have been located so this was probably her only marriage. In daughter Sallie's 1958 obituary, she is listed as Elizabeth McIntyre Goben.
From the records, based on the closeness of the birth year of daughter Sallie and the marriage date for Amy M. McIntyre and William P. Goben, it's believed that Amy M. McIntire and Elizabeth McIntyre refers to the same person. Amy was probably a nickname that Elizabeth preferred to use.
At Young's Chapel Cemetery, she is buried as Elizabeth Goben and is buried next to members of the McIntyre family.

According to the 1900 Census, Mathias' birth date was listed as January 1856 and his first name was listed as VanCleve which is believed to have been his middle name. Several sources list his middle initial as V.
A Reverend Mathias Van Cleave is mentioned in a few different sources as a colleague of Jesse Goben's and is known to have lived in Montgomery County, Indiana. It is likely that Mathias was named after him although the name is found spelled slightly different on the 1900 Census for Mathias' family.

Mathias is listed by his middle name of VanCleve and is listed as age 42 and farming and born in January 1856.

HOPEWELL CEMETERY LOCATION NOTE: The Danville, Illinois mortuary death records of Pape Mortuary indicate that Mathias and Nervilla are buried at Hopewell Cemetery and that the cemetery is located very close to the Illinois/Indiana border.

It is in a large pasture, but fenced. Many of the stones are off the graves and piled around two trees, some broken. Early in the 1900's, they were beginning to use the new Cemetery which is adjacent to the Church. The Cline Family Genealogy Book also lists that Mathias and Nervilla are buried at Hopewell Cemetery. It is believed most likely until further information might be found to verify or disprove that Mathias and Nervilla are buried at the New Hopewell Cemetery in Vermillion County, Indiana.

BIOGRAPHY from the National Encyclopedia of American Biography, Vol VII, Page 384:
Hillary Asbury Gobin, eighth president of DePauw (Indiana Asbury) University (1896- ) was born in Terre Haute, Vigo Co., Ind., March 25, 1842, son of Calvin and Jane (Gray) Gobin.
He was educated principally in the public schools, meanwhile working for his father, a mason and plasterer. He was later employed in a printing office and then as train boy on passenger trains between Terre Haute and St. Louis.
In 1862 he enlisted in the Federal Army, serving for a while with the 71st Indiana regiment, and for two years on detail in the medical director's office, Indianapolis. (He also served as a Corporal of Company B of the 6th Indiana Cavalry.)
Being mustered out in 1865, he resumed his studies, and was duly graduated at Indiana Asbury (DePauw) University in 1870.
His training and inclination led him to prepare for the ministry, and in 1869 he was admitted to the Northwest Indiana Conference as a licensed preacher. His pastoral charges were at Remington and Goodland (1870-1873), he being then instrumental in the erection of churches at both places. He was a minister at First Church, South Bend (1873-1876 - 1879-1880) and at Trinity Church, Lafayette (1876-1879).
He entered upon his career as an educator in 1880 accepting the Robert Stockwell professorship of the Greek language and literature in DePauw University which he held until 1886.
From 1886 to 1890 he was President of Baker University, Baldwin, Kan., but in the later year returned to DePauw as Dean of the Theological Faculty. He was elected Vice-President in 1894; acting President, upon the resignation of Pres. John P. D. John, in 1895, and was inaugurated to succeed him as eighth President in June, 1896.
Pres. Gobin is a man of great strength of character, earnestness of conviction, and a steadfastness of purpose which eminently fit him for the responsible duties of his high position. In the pulpit he is noted for a chaste eloquence and a forcible manner of presenting the vital truths of religion which have won him a well deserved reputation as one of the foremost preachers in the state. He has published numerous articles and reviews in the religious and secular press.
The degree of D. D. was conferred on him by DePauw University in 1880. He was a member of the general conferences of 1892 and 1896. He is now a member of the university senate of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Pres. Gobin has been twice married; first, in November, 1871, to Florence A. Orrill of Terre Haute, Ind., who died in 1891; and second , in July, 1895, to Mrs. Clara L. Beals, daughter of the late Rev. James Leaton, D. D., of the Illinois conference, and widow of Prof. Henry L. Beals of DePauw University.

Biography of Thomas J. Colvin:
SOURCE: "A Standard History of Champaign County, Illinois," J. R. Stewart, Supervising Editor, The Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago and New York, Vols. I & II, 1918
THOMAS J. COLVIN. One of the substantial commercial enterprises of Urbana, with forty years of successful and reliable business history back of it, is the mean market conducted by Thomas J. Colvin. When Mr. Colvin entered upon his career in this venture, he had little to back him save the experience he had gained as his father’s assistant, his ambition, determination and industry, but out of these he has developed a paying and prosperous business, which has become so well known at Urbana as to be accounted a necessary commercial asset. The proprietor, with a supreme faith in the future of the city, has invested heavily in real estate holding here, so that he is one of the substantial property owners of the place. Both in his own interests and those of the city, he has always staunchly supported measures making for local improvement and civic betterment.
Thomas J. Colvin was born February 14, 1858, in Scott County, Indiana, and is a son of John and Catherine (GOBEN) COLVIN. His father, a native of County Down, Ireland, came to the United States in young manhood and engaged in working at the cabinet-maker’s trade in Scott County, Indiana, where he met and married Catherine GOBEN. She died there in 1860, and in 1867 Mr. Colvin brought his family to Champaign County, Illinois, and settled on a farm in the vicinity of Tolono. He became one of the leading citizens of his community, won an honorable standing in business life, and finally became interested in public affairs and was well known as one of the staunch workers in the ranks of the Democratic party.
Under both of President Cleveland’s administrations he served Tolono as postmaster, and eventually was chosen mayor, in which office he was serving at the time of his tragic death. On the day of his demise a fire had broken out, and Mayor Colvin, hastening to the scene of the conflagration, was struck and instantly killed by an Illinois Central train, the approach of which he had failed to note because of an umbrella which he was carrying. His death was considered a great loss to the community, in the interests of which he had labored so faithfully. There were five children in the family of John and Catherine Colvin, namely: Martha, of Los Angeles, California, the widow of Ebenezer GORDON; Mary Jane, who is the wife of B. B. SALBERRY, of San Francisco, California; John M., a resident of Spokane, Washington; Thomas J., of this notice; and Edward, who enlisted in the army when a mere youth, and of whom the family has completely lost track.
Thomas J. Colvin was educated in the public schools of Tolono, and as a youth assisted his father in conducting a meat market at that place. When he had $100 saved, at the age of nineteen years, he embarked upon an independent venture, which, starting in a necessarily small way, rapidly developed into a substantial house. In 1882 he bought the business establishment which he now conducts, and which is accounted one of the leading markets of the city, it having been built up through a policy of honorable conduct, honest representation and straightforward methods of doing business. In investing his profits Mr. Colvin has been loyal to his home city, and now has numerous holdings in a realty way, business and residential. His standing in business circles is of the best, and as a citizen he has contributed freely of time, ability and means in furthering worthy projects. Mr. Colvin is a Democrat, but not a politician.
In December, 1882, Mr. Colvin was united in marriage at Urbana to Miss Sadie MARKS, who was born in Champaign County, and to this union there have been born three children: John T., who is associated with his father in the market business, one of the enterprising young business men of Urbana; Don Otto, who is now residing in Arizona; and Ernest M. whose place of residence is Middletown, Ohio.
