DEATHS.
––––––––––––––––
SAMUEL C. NOBLE.
––––
Died Monday night of pneumonia, at his home in Greenwood, Rev. Samuel C. Noble in his sixty-first year.
He was of Kentucky birth and one of a distinguished family that has figured prominently in the history of Indiana. Of these, may be named his uncles, Noah Noble and James Noble, who settled at Brookville, Franklin County; the one becoming governor of the state, the other a United States senator. A sister also settled at Brookville, the wife of Richard H. Tyner who was a lineal descendant of Richard Henry Lee of revolutionary fame. She was the mother of James N. Tyner, postmaster general under Grant, at present the attorney general of the post office department in Washington. Wm. T. Noble, recently clerk of the Supreme Court, and present secretary of Indiana’s World’s Fair Commissioners is also a member of this family.
Samuel Noble, the deceased, came to Indiana when but two years old, settled with his parents in Marion County, and afterwards removed to Johnson County, where he grew to manhood near the village of Greenwood. He attended the college in this city and continued his studies at Asbury, now Depauw [sic], afterwards preparing himself for the ministry in the Methodist church. Entering the southeastern Indiana conference in 1855, he continued in this work until failing health compelled him to retire from active service. Since that time he has resided chiefly on the farm near Greenwood, filling ministerial charges only temporarily as health would permit, and finding both employment and pleasure in the quietude of farm life. His illness was brief, death resulting from congestion of the lungs and stomach. The deceased was of a kind disposition, always ready to give aid where aid was needed, and leaves a record of a consistent Christian life. A wife and two daughters survive him. The funeral occurred Thursday at Greenwood, at one o’clock p.m.
