JANE NOBLE (d. 1878) DIED. NOBLE—On the afternoon of Nov. 18, 1878, Mrs. Jane Noble, widow of the late William Noble at her residence in the Town of Kossuth Manitowoc County. At the time of her death deceased was aged 66 years and 5 months. Thus after an illness of several months has passed away one who has well fulfilled all the duties of life. The deceased was an earnest devoted Christian, not loud or ostentatious in the practice of her religious duties, but one who constantly aimed to associate her religion with the commonest duties of every day life. Her constant aim was to do right and be right in the sight of God and the word. She has raised up and trained a large family of sons and daughters in the precepts and practice of truth and honesty. She lived long enough to see them all grown up to manhood and womanhood; filling useful stations in life, respected and honored wherever known, for their sterling worth, for their practice in daily life of the same strict virtue and integrity which characterized her. “Her children arise up, and call her blessed.” Manitowoc Pilot, November 21, 1878 P. 3 ******** [Mrs. Jane MCCOY Noble]
JEAN ANDERSON NOBLE DIED - In her home in Reedsville, Manitowoc County, in the 38th year of her age on Thursday last, Jeanie McLean Noble, wife of W. H. Noble and sister of the editor of this paper. The deceased was born November 29, 1846 in one of those beautiful little hamlets which at that time surrounded the city of Glasgow, Scotland and have since been absorbed into the city. She came with her parents and family to America in 1852 arriving in Manitowoc in September of that year and has resided in this county ever since. On June 12, 1867, she was united in marriage to Wm. H. Noble, Esq. they were in every way fitted for each other. The fruit of this union was two boys, now left motherless. Mrs. Noble was a rare woman. In all the varied offices of womanhood, her life was a grand success. As a daughter, her filial regard for her father and her affection and devotion to an invalid mother were unwearied. As a sister, her kind offices and loving words were unceasing. As a wife, her wise counsels, her unwearied assistance to her husband, her love and sympathy with all his undertakings, were all in all to him. As a mother, she guided her boys in the paths of rectitude and trained them up to the highest standard of manhood. Her life was filled with good works. She fed the hungry. She clothed the naked. The homeless wanderer found shelter beneath her roof. She was not blessed with large wealth and though often sorely tried, her charity never failed. She was not ostentatious. Few beyond her immediate family knew the extent of her charities. About year ago a dread message came to her. "Remember that I may be the next, To come in at the door; To call you from your busy work, For evermore. As you work your heart must watch, for the door is on the latch; In your room, For unto you is given To Watch for the coming of his feet, who is the glory of our blessed Heaven. The work and watching will be very sweet, Even in an earthly home And in such an hour you think not, He will come." She had been stricken with an incurable and mysterious disease and was warned that life might pass from her at any moment. Yet she abated not a jot of her accustomed cheerfulness, of her thoughts and plans for the present and future happiness of others. For herself she had no fear of the future. For her husband and her boys, she desired she might live. And so, she waited and watched. As her disease progressed she suffered much but was ever patient, ever gentle, ever thoughtful for those around her. Mrs. Noble never made a public profession of religion, but her conversation was ever full of deep religious thought and feeling. The great fundamental truths of religion took deep root in her heart and blossomed in her actions. Her whole life was an exposition of high religious character. To do right because it was right was her constant aim. "She had done what she could." And so the Lord of the Reapers called her. She passed away about the midnight bearing her sheaves with her. In a pure life, an unfaltering trust in the Divine Goodness, constant self sacrifice avail aught on this life, it is well with her. To her family there is left only a beautiful memory and a hope; to all a noble example. Her funeral was largely attended and many beautiful floral tributes attested the love and respect she had won. Those who had known her came from long distances to see the last sad rights. The most touching of all and the highest tribute to her worth were the tears of mourning of the poor and lowly who gathered around her door when it was known she had passed away. "Gone home, Gone home, the door through which she vanished. Closed with ajar and left us here along, We stand without in tears, Forlorn and banished. Longing to follow where one loved has gone."

WILLIAM H. NOBLE (d. 1894) From the Files of the Pilot – Twenty-Five Years Ago – (1894) William H. Noble of Reedsville, died last Sunday evening. Had he lived until Feb. 6 next, he would have reached his fifty-eighth year. He was born in Ogdensburg, N.Y. Of that staunch Scotch-Irish stock that has given to this country so many splendid examples of strong manhood and good citizenship. He came to Manitowoc with his parents in the early fifties and shared in the hardship and privations of pioneer life, common to the settlers of that period. When the war began, like thousands of the patriotic young men of that time, he obeyed the call of duty and went to the front. He enlisted as a member of Co. K, 21st regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers. He leaves a wife and five sons. The community sympathizes with them in their great bereavement. It shares their loss for Manitowoc county has lost a good and useful citizen. Manitowoc Pilot, Thurs, Oct. 23, 1919 ********* Death on Sun. evening in Reedsville of 58 yr. old W.H. Noble. The deceased leaves a widow and 7 children of whom 2 are from his first marriage. Mr. Nobel enjoyed great affection in Reedsville and served his town during his lifetime as Village President. The funeral took place yesterday in the local cemetery under the auspices of the G.A.R. Der Nord Westen, 25 Oct. 1894 ******** IN MEMORIAM. WILLIAM HENRY NOBLE. It was with a deep sense of loss, surprise and great sorrow that our community received the announcement that W. H. Noble of Reedsville had died the evening of Sunday last. Had he lived until Feb. 6th next he would have reached his 58th year. William Henry Noble was born in Ogdenburg, New York, of that staunch Scotch-Irish stock that has given to this country so many splendid examples of strong manhood and good citizenship. He came to Manitowoc with his parents in the early fifties and shared in the hardships and privations of pioneer life, common to the settlers of that period. When the war began, like thousands of the patriotic young men of that time, he obeyed the call of duty and went to the front. He enlisted as a member of Co. K. 21st regiment Wisconsin Volunteers. He was present at the battle of Perryville where exposure brought on a disease which incapacitated him from further active service, and he was transferred to the veteran reserve corps in which he served on detached duty until the end of the war. He was selected as one of the sergeants to act as pall bearer at the funeral of President Abraham Lincoln and as such escorted the body from Washington to Springfield, Ill. For this service he received a medal commemorative of the event from congress. After his return from the army he resided for a time in this city and became widely known as a skillful mechanic and mill builder. About twenty-two years ago he removed to Reedsville in this county and engaged in manufacturing and he has ever since been identified with the interests of that locality. He lived to see it grow from a straggling hamlet of a few houses to a handsome and prosperous village. In every measure looking to the improvement of the place he was a leading spirit. It was largely through his influence the village was incorporated, the streets improved and public buildings erected. The splendid school building in that village stands as a witness to his interest in popular education. He was public spirited, broad minded and liberal in his views, charitable to a fault. No poor worth person of good cause ever appealed to him in vain. He took a deep interest in political matters and was a staunch republican but always refused to become a candidate for any office, except local offices when his services were given freely. At the time of his death he was village president, a position he has held continuously since the incorporation of the village. He was a prominent member of the Grand Army of the Republic, having been a member of the Horace M. Walker Post of this city ever since its organization. He was an Odd Fellow, having been a member of Chickerming lodge in this city for more than a quarter of a century. He leaves a widow and five sons. The community sympathizes with them in their great bereavement. It shares their loss. For Manitowoc county has lost a good and useful citizen. Manitowoc Pilot, October 25, 1894 P. 3 ******** Death of James Noble(sic) The news of the death of James Noble at his home in Reedsville on Monday last, was a great shock to his friends in this vicinity who had been hoping against hope that his difficulty might not prove mortal. He was stricken with paralysis a short time ago which made his case hopeless. The funeral was held Wednesday morning at the church in Reedsville and the interment afterward occurred in Manitowoc, a special train having been chartered by the Odd Fellows Lodge of which body the deceased was a member, a large number of whom from this village and Reedsville accompanied the remains to their last resting place. In the death of Mr. Noble, not only does Reedsville lose its most prominent citizen, but the most valued friends. Mr. Noble was a man of wide acquaintance and was everywhere respected and admired for the uprightness of his character and the affability and kindness of his disposition. Mr. Noble was 53 years age and had been a resident of Reedsville for the past twenty-five years. He leaves a wife and five sons to mourn his loss. Deceased was president of the thriving village of Reedsville and to him, to a great extent, is due the prosperity of that village. He was a highly respected member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and also of the Grand Army Post of Manitowoc which bodies were largely represented at the last sad rites. Among those from this village accompanying the remains to Manitowoc were: Dr. I.N. McComb, John Wosch, Otto Reuther and Wm Pettey, while Chas Bruss, Rob't Wittke, John Chaykowski, S.T. Barnard and John Hall were present at the ceremonies in Reedsville. Every businessman of Reedsville and a large number of other, numbering upwards of 300 accompanied the remains to Manitowoc.

Shortly before ten o'clock he conversed with his wife and said he felt tired and would go to his room for the night. Mrs. Nohlechek did not hear any further sound from his room and hurrying there found him slumped over the bed. Physicians were summoned but he died before they arrived, a victim of a heart attack. Familiar Race Track Man The passing of Mr. Nohlechek removes from Wisconsin race tracks one who has followed the harness racing game nearly his entire life.

He was the owner of many race horses and in his early life drove his own horses in the county race events and also in many grand circuit race cards. He came to Manitowoc about 25 years ago and coninued to make his home here ever since. At the present time Mr. Nohlechek was the owner of Freson Bond, Actor and Happy Border horses which have been appearing in race cards at fairs in northeastern Wisconsin. For years "Bud" Nohlechk and his brother Frank always raced their strings at the Manitowoc county fairs.

FRANK NOVAK S. 20th St. resident Frank Novak has disappeared and police are seeking news of his whereabouts. Der Nord Westen, 11 Dec. 1902 ******* A body has been found in the river and has been identified as that of Joseph(sic) Novak, missing since December last year. Der Nord Westen, 16 Apr. 1903 ******* BELIEVE IT TO BE NOVAK. Relatives of Man Missing Since December Claim Body Taken from River Monday. One shoe and a stocking, the only clothing on the body that was taken from the river Monday, may establish the identity of the dead man. Relatives of Frank Novak, who disappeared from his home last December believe the remains to be those of the missing man, the stocking being of the same as worn by Novak when he disappeared. The general description of the body also corresponds and there seems to be little doubt but that Novak is the unfortunate victim. The condition of the corpse makes it almost impossible to identify it but the family is reasonably certain and will claim the body. Nothing has been heard of Novak since his departure. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, April 14, 1903 P. 1 ******** From Evergreen cemetery office: The burial register has Frank Novak, age 27, born in Poland, cause of death: drowning, buried 4/16/1903. He is buried in Pottersfield so he's not next to any family members. He is, however, buried next to a Joseph Chapman who also died of drowning & was buried 5/12/1903. Perhaps the newspaper mixed up the names. ******* [cause: drowning]

JOHN NOVY (d. 1916) JOHN NOVY, GAS CO. EMPLOYEE VICTIM OF UNUSUAL ACCIDENT THAT NEARLY COSTS HIM HIS LIFE Piece of Steel From Hammer Penetrates Abdomen and Severs Blood Vessel and Half Hour Later is Overcome—Rushed to Hospital For operation and Life May Be Saved. A victim of one of the most unusual accidents of which medical men of the city have any record, Joseph Novy, employed as a teamster by the Manitowoc Gas company, is at the hospital with fair chances for recovery, though at one time his life was despaired of. A blood vessel in the abdomen was severed by a small piece of steel which was thrown from a hammer and though Novy experienced a sharp pain when the steel penetrated his body, he did not know that he had been injured until some time later when he was overcome by faintness. He was rushed to the hospital where physicians found that a blood vessel one half inch from the stomach had been severed and the man was bleeding internally. An operation was immediately undertaken and reports today are that Novy will survive. Novy had visited the offices of Dr. Rank on Jay street to have a sick horse cared for and while there had entered the blacksmith shop to inquire for the veterinarian. While Novy was engaged in conversation with the blacksmith who was using a heavy hammer, Novy experienced a sharp pain in the abdomen but it was only for an instant and he paid no heed to it. After his mission had been completed Novy drove away with his horse and was on York street when he was overcome by faintness and had to be taken to the offices of Dr. Gleason. Examination by the physician revealed a small perforation in the skin of the abdomen and it was found that the man was bleeding internally. He was rushed to the hospital and when physicians probed the wound it was found that a blood vessel had been severed. An operation was performed and it was said by physicians that unless infection set in Novy would recover. There was no indication of the injury on Novy’s body, the perforation being small and having bled but little externally. Novy was unable to explain how he suffered the injury but remarked about the pain he had experienced while at the Rank shop and investigation there showed that a small bit of steel had been chipped from the hammer and it was this that had entered the abdomen and severed the blood vessel. The steel had cut through Novy’s clothing and flesh and imbedded itself far into the body. Fortunately the steel did not strike the wall of the stomach. Novy is 35 years of age and has been employed by the gas company for some time as a teamster. He is married and resides on N. Eleventh street. It is not believed that his injury will prove serious. A question as to liability for the incident may arise, however. The gas company carries insurance on all its employes and Novy was engaged in work for the company at the ______ receive compensation with ____ Whether..(remaining 3-4 lines too dark to read)… Manitowoc Daily Herald, September 6, 1916 P. 1 ******* FIND BIT OF STEEL AS BIG AS HALF PEA IN NOVY’S INTESTINES Drs. Gleason and Patchen Complete Post Mortem on Body of Man who Was Victim of Peculiar Accident That the death of John Novy was caused by a bit of steel chipped from a hammer was definitely established today when Drs. C. M. Gleason and C. W. Patchen completed a post mortem examination on the body at the hospital. A piece of steel, the size of half a pea, was found imbedded in one of the intestines. Several x-ray photographs had to be taken before the death-dealing bit of metal was located. The unusual feature in the case is that though the steel was imbedded in the intestine, the organ had not been broken and no peritonitis had been seen which was a condition to have been expected under the circumstances. The steel had entered the body in the abdomen and was not found at the time of the original operation. A number of other physicians attended the post mortem. Manitowoc Daily Herald, September 13, 1916 P. 1 ******** John Novy, whose peculiar accident was reported last week, died late Monday night at the Holy Family Hospital. Novy was injured by a small splinter of steel from a blacksmith's hammer penetrating his abdomen. He did not know he was injured for some time after the accident. Later the same day, he was operated upon and the report given out that he could soon be about, in the absence of infection. He grew steadily worse, however, and a second operation was performed Monday night. He died shortly after being removed to his bed from the table. Mr. Novy was born at Kellnersville 35 years ago. He had been employed in the city since he was a boy. He is survived by his wife and five small children. He is also survived by an aged mother and three brothers, Joseph, Wenzel and Anton, all of this city and also five sisters, Mrs. W.M.
