GEORGE NOBLE has been a
resident of Carroll County from the time of his birth, is a representative
of a sterling pioneer family and is now one of the venerable and honored
residents of Lee Township, his entire active career having been marked by
close and effective alliance with farm industry. He was born in Lee
Township, on the 17th of December, 1847, and is a son of William and Jane
(Tripp) Noble, whose marriage was solemnized Aug. 10, 1843, the bride
having been a daughter of Job and Rebecca (Kelley) Tripp, of
Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania.
William Noble was born in East Bethlehem,
Washington County, Pennsylvania, on the 12th of February, 1808, and was one
of the most venerable men of Carroll County, Ohio, at the time of his death,
in 1901. His parents, William and Eliza (Scarlott) Noble, were
born and reared in County Leitrim, Ireland, where they were wed and whence
they immigrated to America in 1796, the father becoming a pioneer farmer in
Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he died in 1818, his widow having
survived until 1854, and both having been earnest members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. They had ten children - Catherine, James, David,
Thomas, Mary, William, John, Richard, Robert and Eliza.
William Noble, Jr., was reared in his native
county and was eighteen years of age when he came to Ohio, in 1826. At
Youngstown he served an apprenticeship to the trade of stone and brick
mason, and he followed the work of his trade in eastern Ohio until 1837,
when he went to Iowa and found employment at his trade in various new towns
along the Mississippi river in that state. After his return to Ohio he
became actively identified with agricultural industry in Carroll County, and
with the passing years he accumulated a valuable farm property of 353 acres,
in Lee Township, this county. He gained a large and well merited
success in his vigorous and resourceful career and was one of the prominent
and honored pioneer citizens of Carroll County at the time of his death, his
wife having preceded him to eternal rest, and both having been active
members of the Presbyterian Church. He was a democrat. Of the
four children the eldest, William T., is deceased, George, of
this review, was the second in order of birth, and David and James
are residents of Lee Township.
In the township which is now his place of residence
George Noble was reared on the old home farm of his father, and his
educational advantages were those of the common schools of the locality and
period. He has never cared to deflect his course from the vocation
under the influences of which he was reared, and has been successful in his
independent activities as an agriculturist and stock-grower. After his
marriage. in 1869, he established his residence upon the farm of 124 acres
that had been willed to him by his father, and this place is now one of the
well-improved and specially well-ordered farms of Lee Township, its location
being in section 3. Mr. Noble has not only bent his energies to
worthy achievement in his chosen sphere of enterprise but has also been
loyal in his communal spirit and action, as shown in his support of measures
projected for the general welfare. In political matters he votes in
accord with the dictates of his judgment and his conscience, and his hold
upon the esteem of the people of his native township is indicated by his
having served one term as township trustee, besides which he has held the
office of township assessor. He and his wife are zealous members of
the Presbyterian Church.
On the 13th of October, 1869, was solemnized the
marriage of Mr. Noble to Miss Thursie Jane
Cogsil, who was born in London Township, this county, a daughter of
the late Oliver and Jane (Algeo) Cogsil, the former a native of the
state of Indiana and the latter of Lee Township, Carroll County, where her
parents were pioneer settlers. In conclusion is entered brief record
concerning the children of Mr. and Mrs. Noble: Jane is
the wife of John Algeo, of Lee Township; Oliver resides
at Massillon, Stark County; Lillie is the wife of Hamlin
Guess of Lee Township; Harvey resides at Alliance, Stark County;

JAMES NOBLE of Lee Township,
Carroll County, owns and resides upon a part of the old homestead farm which
was the place of his birth, and he is a representative of one of the worthy
families whose identification with the history of Ohio had its inception
nearly a century ago. Mr. Noble was born in Lee Township
Nov. 30, 1851, and is the youngest of the four children born to William
and Jane (Tripp) Noble. The eldest of the four children was
William T., who is deceased: George and David are
residents of Lee Township.
William Noble was born in East Bethlehem,
Washington County, Pennsylvania. on the 12th of February, 1808. and was an
honored and venerable pioneer citizen of Carroll County at the time of his
death, in 1901. He was a son of William and Eliza (Scarlott) Noble,
who were born and reared in County Leitrim, Ireland, where their
marriage was solemnized and whence they came to the United States in 1796.
The father became a pioneer farmer in Washington County, Pennsylvania, where
he died in 1818, his widow surviving until 1854, and both having been active
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They had seven sons and
three daughters.
William Noble. Jr., was eighteen years old when
he came to Ohio, in 1826, and at Youngstown he learned the trade of brick
and stone mason. He continued to follow his trade in this section of
Ohio until 1837, and thereafter at various towns along the Mississippi river
in Iowa. After his return to Ohio he developed a fine farm estate in
Carroll County, his farm property, in Lee Township, having comprised
somewhat more than 350 acres. In his youth he assisted in constructing
a bridge across the Ohio river at Brownsville, Pennsylvania. and both in
Ohio and the West he did a large amount of constructive work at his trade.
He died on the 11th of July, 1891, his wife having passed away on the 3d of
the preceding September. Their marriage occurred Aug. 10, 1843, Mrs.
Noble having been born in Pennsylvania, Oct. 31, 1809, a daughter of
Job and Rebecca (Kelley) Tripp, of Cannonsburg, that state. In
politics Mr. Noble was a democrat. but was not strongly
partisan in connection with local affairs of public order. Both he and
his wife held member ship in the Presbyterian Church, and they were kindly,
generous and upright folk who commended the high regard of all who knew
them.
James Noble found the period of his
childhood and youth compassed by the invigorating environment and discipline
of the home farm, and in the meanwhile he did not neglect the advantages
offered in the local schools. He has remained continuously on the old
homestead, 153 acres of which he received as a heritage from his parents,
and this farm is the stage of his activities as an agriculturist and stock
raiser. A considerable acreage of excellent timber remains on the
farm, and of the rest meadows and pasture land take up all but thirty acres,
which latter area is given to agriculture. In addition to managing his
farm Mr. Noble has given more or less attention to work at the
carpenter's trade for a long period of years. He is aligned in the
local ranks of the democratic party, has served as a member of the election
board, and has shown lively interest in the communal welfare. Both he
and his wife hold membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
May 28, 1891, marked the marriage of Mr.
Noble to Miss Susan Lawrence, who was born and
reared in Lee Township and who is a daughter of James and
Jane (Plant) Lawrence, natives of Ireland and early
settlers in Carroll County. Mr. and Mrs. Noble have three
children: Grover C., who is now associated in the work and management
of the home farm, was one of the sterling young men who represented Carroll
County in the nation's military service in the World war. In June,
1918, he became a member of Company B, Three Hundred and Ninth Engineers.
and with his command he sailed for France in the following September.
He remained in active service in France until the armistice brought
hostilities to a close, and returned to his native land in June, 1919.
Gladys. the only daughter, is the wife of Edward Griffith,
of Burgoon, Ohio, and they have two children, James Joseph and
Helen Lucile, James Paul, the youngest of the
three children, remains with his parents on the home farm.
