The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, March 30, 1905
With heartfelt sorrow the Leader notes the death of APPLETON B. NOBLE which occurred at his residence in southwest Chariton on Friday evening, March 24, 1905, at 5 o'clock. Although he had been in ill health for some time, yet his demise was a great shock to his family and friends. Death was caused by a cerebral hemorrhage. Ten years ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis and since that time had not been strong. Since January he had been confined to his bed most of the time and for two weeks prior to his death had been in an unconscious condition. Largely attended funeral services under the auspices of the A.F. & A.M. were held at the family home on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock and were conducted by Dr. D.C. Franklin of the M.E. Church. The floral tributes were profuse and beautiful, all testifying to the high regard in which deceased was held. At the close of the services the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Chariton Cemetery.
APPLETON BAINBRIDGE NOBLE was born in Fairfield, Summerset County, Maine, on June 9, 1824, and was a son of THOMAS and SARAH NOBLE. He left Maine at the age of fourteen years and went to Williamsport, Ohio. He was married there on May 14, 1851, to MARIA ROW who survives him. They were the parents of six children, four of whom are living. They are CLINTON A. and CHARLES E. of this city; WARREN W. and GEORGE M. of Chicago. WARREN is at present in South Dakota and GEORGE is in Arizona. Both were unable to reach here to attend their father's funeral. He is also survived by one sister, MRS. CAROLINE ANDREWS of Lavall, Wis.
MR. NOBLE and family moved here from Ohio in the fall of 1854, and for over half a century his life has been spent in Chariton. He was a carpenter and builder by trade and was employed in that department by the C.B. & Q. for about fifteen years, and assisted in the erection of the depot at this place. In the early days he served the county as Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff and later was a member of our City Council for two terms. He enlisted in the army in 1862 as a member of Company F., 34th Iowa volunteers, and was afterward promoted to the office of Sergeant of the Company. He was very fond of outdoor recreations and was adept in hunting and fishing. He possessed a wonderful memory and has furnished many facts of value to the historian of this county. With him success in life was reached by his sterling qualities of mind and a heart true to every manly principle. His life was characterized by honesty, industry and simplicity, and he merited the high esteem in which he was universally held. His death is sincerely mourned by unnumerable friends, who will extend heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing relatives.
