Cable married Louisa Stewart Bartlett, and they had children. In 1885 the whole family moved to Northampton, Massachusetts in the face of hostilities generated by Cable's articles on racial issues. His wife Louise died in 1904 and Cable married Eva Stenson in 1906. After the death of his second wife Eva in 1923 he married his third wife Hanna Cowing in 1923.
