GEORGE SCHOLL NACE.
One of the oldest living residents of New
Lisbon at this time is George School Nace who was
born in this town July 4, 1819, and has been a resident of
the same all of his life. In his youthful days he
learned the druggist business with C. F. Helman with
whom he remained from 1836 to 1848, and then engaged in the
same business with H. H. Gregg, under the firm name
of Gregg & Nace, which continued for a period of
twenty-one years, at the end of which time, in 1866, the
latter purchased the entire stock and became sole
proprietor. Mr. Nace carried on the business
alone until 1880, when he disposed of the same to his
nephew, M. T. Nace, who still has charge of the
store. Mr. Nace was married May 11, 1854, to
Ann Abigail Griffith, daughter of Oliver Griffith
of York county, Penn. The father of Mr. Nace
was Matthias Nace, a native of Maryland, who
by his marriage with Christina Clapsaddle, had a
family of seven children. He moved to New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio, in the year 1812, from York county,
Penn.

ANGUS
NOBLE was born in 1803, in Scotland. He was
brought to America by his father, Alexander, in 1806.
They landed in Baltimore and settled in Columbiana county,
Ohio, in 1807, after having lived in Pittsburg one year.
He settled on the farm now owned by his grandchildren.
This farm was purchased from the Adams family and consists
of 60¼ acres. At that
time it was wild land and it took great patience and much
labor to clear it for tilling. He raised a large
family and died happy in the thought that his dream in
bettering the condition of his children had been realized.
This noble pioneer and his wife are lying side by side in
the McIntosh Presbyterian church yard. Angus
married Christina Noble, and had five children:
Alexander died in the service of his country while a
member of Company B, One Hundred and Forty-third regiment,
Ohio volunteer infantry; Elizabeth deceased;
Jennet, deceased; John A. and Laughlin who
with their families, are living on said farm.

VALENTINE
NOLD, the progenitor of the American branch of the
Nold family, was born in the town of Paltz, Germany.
Emigrating to this country in 1760, he settled in Bucks
county, Penn. Where there he married and had one son
whom they named Jacob. Jacob married and became
the father of five children named: Henry, married
Miss Beethel; Jacob, married Catharine Zigler;
John, married Hannah Weisler; Susana, wife
of George Slutter; and Barbara, who married
John Moyer. In 1817 he came to Columbiana county
and located in Fairfield township, in the vicinity of
Leetonia, remaining there until his death in May,
1834. He was a farmer and minister of the gospel,
having been the first bishop of the Mennonite church in
Ohio. With the exception of Mrs. John Moyer, of
Mahoning county, all of these children have passed away,
after having married and raised large families, which are
now scattered over the country. Jacob Nold, the
second son, was born in Bucks county, Penn., in 1798, and
came with his parents to Ohio. Upon the death of his
father he succeeded to all of the original homestead farm,
together with a grist-mill, which was one of the first
mills erected in the county. It still stands.
Jacob passed his life on the homestead farm, his death
occurring Sept. 30, 1864. In the spring of 1882 he
espoused Miss Catharine Zeigler, daughter of
Abraham Zeigler, of Butler, Penn. Twelve of the
fourteen children born to them grew to maturity; they are
John, Abraham, Jacob, Samuel, David, George,
Elizabeth, Susannah, Mary, Barbara, Catherine, deceased;
Nancy, Allivia, deceased; and Sarah.
They are members of the Mennonite church, of which their
father was a deacon. Abraham Nold was
born September 28, 1826, on his father's farm in Fairfield
township, and here obtained all the schooling at his
command. He assisted his father to clear the farm and
lived at home until his marriage to the eldest daughter of
Solomon Sitler. The marriage ceremony uniting
Abraham Nold and Sarah Sitler
was solemnized in 1848. After his marriage he at once
took possession of a farm in Salem township, on which he
resided for three years, after which he removed to the
property which he has since resided on. He has made
many improvements in the farm and now has a very fine
property. Mr. Nold has been identified
with the growth and development of the town since its
organization, and is one of its most honored citizens.
Of the seven children born to him all but two are living:
Solomon E., Enos, deceased; Uriah S., Emma,
Elizabeth, Ida, and Franklene, also deceased.
The family are communicants of the Mennonite church.
Mr. Nold takes an active interest in politics and has
held several minor offices under the republican party.
