in 1825. He moved with his father, William Noble, to Indiana, in 1830, and settled in Parke County, where he improved a farm, remaining upon it until
eighteen years old. In 1842 he came to Missouri with his mother, formerly Hannah Miner, and settled in what is now Harrison County, living there until
1846, when he came to this county. His mother died in 1843. He located on his present farm in 1851, and made additions to it until his farm is among
the best of the county, containing 161 acres. He married Miss Sarah Ann Morris, daughter of Robert Morris, of Pennsylvania, in 1849. Her mother
was Isabel Crea, of Ohio. They have five children: Hannah Jane (now Mrs. D. H. Mount), John Franklin (who married Margaret Josephine Hatcher),
Isabel Mary, Elizabeth Sarah and Lydia. Mr. Noble's grandfather was from England. His religious preferences are with the Methodist Episcopal Church.

years of age. Mr. Noble by perseverence and good management, has made an excellent competency. He is one of the reliable men of the county, has
hosts of friends, attends to his own business and is successful. As a pioneer, he has passed through all the troubles and trials incident to such
a life, and still loves a new country for the reason that the poor can make homes therein. He was in the state militia during the war, and was faithful
to his trust.
