Herman Noll, son of Adam and
Matilda Noll, was born in Madison County, Illinois, August 11, 1877,
and departed this life at his home near Sailor Springs on August 23,
1930, at the age of 53 years and 12 days. He was confirmed in the
German Evangelical church at Marme at the age of 14 and came with his
parents to Sailor Springs when 19 years of age.
He was united in marriage to Clara M. Payne on January 28, 1908. To
this union was born four children, one daughter, Velma Kuentzler, and
three sons, Harold A., Lowell H. and Lorraine. He was a kind and loving
husband and father, devoted to his home and family, kind to his
neighbors and liked to attend church when able. For several years he
suffered greatly, but patiently awaited God's will to release his soul.
He leaves to mourn their loss, his faithful companion, four
children, his father and mother, two brothers, Leo, of Clay City,
Albert, of Decatur, and four sisters, Minnie Faitz, of Trenton,
Illinois, Ella Carder, Josephine Franklin and Viola Koyner, all of
Sailor Springs; also many neighbors and friends sorrow at his going.
One sister, Mrs. Robert Anderson, and one brother, Edgar,
preceded him in death.
There's a beautiful city that lies far
away from the earth with its
burden of tears.
Where the night never enters but
shadowless day shines on
through eternity's years.
And there all our sorrows shall fade
as a dream, as we enter the
country of rest,
While before us in heavenly beauty
shall gleam the mansion.
Prepared
for the blest.
