Lucy Vanderpool Brower
Died Sept. 12, 1933, St. Cloud Florida
A Noble Woman Gone
Lucy Vanderpool Brower was a descendant of Thomas Noble,
the first immigrant ancestor of the largest family in the United
States bearing the name of Noble. He was born in England in 1632
and died January 20th, 1704, in Westfield, Massachusetts, the
town which he established near Springfield, Massachusetts,
September 1st, 1653. He first came to America in 1653, and on
September 1st, 1657 he returned to England to marry his promised
wife Hannah. They returned at once to America. There were ten
children born to them, six sons and four daughters; from those
ten children and their descendants, nine thousand descendants by
the name of Noble alone were born in the United States up to the
year of 1878. Dwight Noble, the father of Lucy E. Brower, son of
Loren and Fanny Noble, who was born March 14th, 1833, came with
his parents Loren and Fanny Boardman Noble to Yankee Settlement
September 1853. He was a direct descendant of Thomas Noble 3rd,
or grandson of the 1st Thomas Noble who was born in Westfield,
Massachusetts.
Lucy Vanderpool Brower was born March 11, 1855 in
Delaware County, Iowa, in a small settlement called Yankee
Settlement, that some years later was named Edgewood. She lived
here with her parents, Dwight Noble, her father and Lucy
Lucretia Huff, her mother, until the war broke out in 1861. Her
father passed away when she was between three and four years old
and she with her mother and younger sister went to Dearborn,
Michigan. They lived in Dearborn until she reached the age of
eight years and then left and entered the public schools and the
Tuition German School at Detroit, Michigan. She grew up and
married Abram A. Vanderpool who was born in Medina, New York
State April 25th, 1837. Mr. Vanderpool was a conductor on the
Michigan Central Railroad for thirteen years. Two children were
born to that union, Edward All Vanderpool and Harry Ellsworth
Vanderpool, the latter dying in infancy.

Methodist Episcopal Church and was married by L. R. Fiske, her
pastor in Detroit, Michigan. Her husband died October 10th, 1878
in Detroit, Michigan, at the age of 41 years and 5 months.
After her husband's death she took a course in nursing
and for many years had charge of Dr. Griggs lying-in hospital.
On January 17th, 1893, her mother passed away at the age of 64
years and 26 days. Finally after her years of nursing she was
forced to give it up owing to ill health, and she then entered
the dressmaking field, where she worked her way up until she had
her own establishment and was know to the trade as Madame
Vanderpool and had in her employ from six to eight girls at all
times. In the winter of 1888 she went to Lincoln, Nebraska, and
was appointed by Governor Thayer of Nebraska as head seamstress
at the State Insane Asylum at Hastings, Nebraska. She later
resigned and returned to Lincoln, Nebraska, and was appointed by
Governor Holcomb as head matron of the Home of the Friendless,
and later commissioned by the Governor and had entire chard of
the institution, where she inaugurated many reforms.
In the meantime, her son Edward A. Vanderpool, after
finishing school became a conductor on the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul Railroad out of Milwaukee, making his home at Green
Bay, Wisconsin. Just before going to Green Bay, Wisconsin, Mr.
Vanderpool lost his wife, Nina May Briggs Vanderpool August
20th, 1904 in Hudson, Lenway County, Michigan. Mr. Vanderpool
was transferred to Big Springs, Texas, then Mrs. Vanderpool
Brower went to Big Springs, Texas, and made her home with her
son, Mr. Vanderpool, for eleven years.
In 1916, Mrs. Brower came to St. Cloud, Florida, after
her son's two daughters were educated and could care for
themselves and she kept house for him. On November 1st, 1917,
she married Solon Brower who was born and reared in New York
City. He was a veteran of the Civil War and an expert
watchmaker. In 1924 Mr. Brower's health failed and for eight
years he was confined to his home where he lingered until 1932,
being cared for by his kind loving wife, Lucy Vanderpool Brower,
and on May 2nd, 1932, he passed away.
Her son, Edward A. Vanderpool, was stricken with
apoplexy on the night of January 1st, 1932, and for twelve days
lingered and finally passed away on January 12, 1932. Mrs.
Brower's life was full of kind deeds and loving care and she was
a woman who believed in leading a Christian life and by her acts
trying to follow in His footsteps.
The history and genealogy of the Noble family was
compiled by Dr. Lucius M. Boltwood of Boston, Massachusetts,
which took twenty-five years of time and a great deal of money.

Col.; Chicago, Ill.; Milwaukee, Black River Falls and
Neilsville, Wis.; lived in the later place for 26 years, the
longest of any one place during their married life, and two
years ago came from there to St. Cloud, Fla., in hopes of
improving the health of Mrs. Campbell, who had been an invalid
for several years prior to their coming here; but though she was
free from pain and most of the time while here, she suffered
intensely during the last five weeks of her life, bearing it
with cheerful fortitude. She was not a member of any church, but
with her husband, was a believer in the doctrine of
unitarianism.
She was a great lover of nature's beauties, especially
of birds and flowers, and was fond of raising the latter, of
which she was always liberal, giving them freely to all who
appreciated them. When in health she was a successful poultry
raiser. She was a member of the W. C. T. U. and was an active
member in that noble order; was an officer in the W. R. C. for
many years. All who knew her relied on her as a true friend, and
she was a faithful and loving wife in every sense of the word.
The bereaved husband, who is a dear comrade and good
citizen, has the sympathy of all. Others who mourn the departure
of Sister Campbell are: an aged brother, who is an inmate of the
Kansas National Soldiers' Home; many nephews and nieces in Iowa,
Kansas and Colorado; and many of her friends are sad because of
the loss of one they loved. There were no children.
The life of the departed was so clean, pure and loving
as to leave an assurance of due reward.
Her death occurred at 3:30 p. m., Oct. 12, 1919.
The funeral service was held in the G. A. R. auditorium
at 3:30 p. m., Oct. 13, under the auspices of the W. R. C., Rev.
