Francis Emaline Auxier and Isaac Goble were married on September 14,1852 in Johnson County, Kentucky. The marriage was solemnized by his father, Isaac Goble Sr., a minister and physician.

When the Civil War broke out, Dr. Isaac Goble, one of the pioneer medical men in Eastern Kentucky was practicing in Floyd and Johnson Counties. On September 6, 1862, he enlisted in Company 8, 39th Infantry Regiment Volunteers, 26th Kentucky Cavalry which was commanded by Captain John B. Auxier. He was commissioned as a first lieutenant and was captured on December 4, 1862 by Confederate forces under General Fletcher during the battle of Wireman Shoals. He was taken on a forced march to a railroad in Virginia and from there was transported to the infamous Libby Prison where he suffered from exposure and malnutrition which caused him to develop rheumatism and a heart condition.

Paroled to the Union Army because of his condition, he rejoined his regiment and participated in the winter campaigns in East Tennessee but, the toll taken by the rigors of prison forced him from active service and into a hospital in Knoxville where he remained from December 15, 1864 until January 15, 1865. He was honorably discharged on September 15, 1865 and he returned home to resume his work as a doctor. Traveling rough mountain roads on horseback he ministered to the sick while residing at East Point and at Dewey.

Dr Goble became totally disabled in 1907 and was granted a $30.00 a month pension by the government. He died near East Point on February 3, 1915 and lies buried in a small family cemetery in the vicinity of Auxier, Kentucky near the place of his capture 52 years earlier.
