JOSEPH
NOGGLE,
one of the most reliable and industrious farmers of Green Creek
township, Sandusky county, is a man of unassuming manners,
without ostentation, or craving for place and preferment.
He is content to fill his mission in life as a worthy
representative of the first and most important vocation - that
of farming - leaving to others the strife and turmoil and the
uncertainties of a more problematic career. It is to such
types as he, hard-working and thrifty, yet restful and
contented, that the nation must look for its great reserve force
to act as a balance-wheel against the encroachments and vagaries
of the flightier element in society.
Mr. Noggle was born in Franklin county, Penn., June 4,
1811, son of William and Katie (Hurtman) Noggle, both natives of
Pennsylvania, who reared a large family of children, and passed
peacefully away on the home farm at a good old age. Only
two of the children Jacob and Joseph
- now survive. Jacob
lives on a farm in Fulton county, Penn., at the age of
eighty-one years. Joseph was reared in the Keystone State,
and there married Elizabeth Marshall, who was born in Huntingdon
county, Penn., Feb. 11, 1811, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth
(Simmons) Marshall; they were the parents of seven children,
named as follows: James, Nancy, Lydia, Jane,
Sarah, Rachel and Elizabeth. The father died on his farm in Pennsylvania
when Elizabeth was a child; the mother survived until 1855.
Soon after his marriage Mr. Noggle migrated to Sandusky county,
locating in Jackson township, and there engaged in Pioneer
farming. Twenty-two years later he moved to Green Creek
township, and has lived here some thirty-seven years. He
now owns a well-cultivated farm of eighty-four acres.
Mr. Noggle cast his first vote for Andrew Jackson in 1832; in
religious faith he is a member of the Universalist Church.
The children of Mr. and Mrs. Noggle are as follows:
Sarah,
born Nov. 4, 1841, married Dec. 10, 1875, to Charles
Clapp, and
is the mother of two children - Jessie (deceased) and
Della;
William born Oct. 19, 1843, died Nov. 24, 1874; Madison, born
Aug. 5, 1846, died Sept. 6, 1872; Joseph, born Nov. 10, 1857,
died June 28, 1858. William H. Noggle, a nephew of
Joseph Noggle, now lives with him. He was born in Pennsylvania
Mar. 21, 1850, and is the son of Jacob Noggle; he was married in
Nov. 1893, to Hattie E. Mummert, who was born in Franklin
county, Penn., Jan. 26, 1860
