Leaving the Maples, the house of Hiram Osborn, we proceed north and ascend quite a steep hill, until we reach the plateau. The first house we come to is an old structure built in the early part of the 18th century and like many of the old houses on this street, was built from the timber from the virgin forest, hewed by the carpenters. The shingles which cover the house were rent and shaved by long and patient toil. who the builder was we are unable to learn, but it is a wonderful piece of architecture.
This house was owned by Horace Cable, who with two other brothers, Roswell and Orlando, came from Monroe, all locating in Oxford. Horace was actively identified with the hatting industry in Oxford for many years, until it was abandoned, then he turned his attention to farming. He married Mrs. Ann Booth, a widow lady of Monroe who had two daughters by her former husband. Mary Booth, who married William Bronson of Oxford, who built the house now owned and occupied by Chas. Myers on the Oxford road. Sarah Booth, the youngest daughter died early in life, was never married.
Some time after the death of Mr. Cable the place was purchased by Charles Beecher, who resided there for several years. Then it came into the possession of Geo. Andrews. After a few years he sold it to a foreigner named Daniel Marks, who still owns and occupies the place. The house was recently renovated on the outside and now presents a very respectable appearance.
