Harriet Cass (DOUGLASS) NOBLE
was born in Fredonia, N.Y., January 11th 1826 and died at the home of her daughter, in New Orleans, March 8th, 1910.
In 1831, she came with her parents to Illinois, and resided there until her marriage to Mr. Reuben NOBLE, in 1844. Later that year they came to Clayton County, and have always lived here, since August, 1844, being closely identified with the growth of the community.
Seven children were born to them, four of whom are now living, Mrs. J.F. DAY of New Orleans, Mrs. R.V. DAY, of Los Angeles, Henry NOBLE, of Seattle, and V.B. Noble, of Bottineau, N.D.
Her husband preceded her in death on August 8th, 1896, and since then she has continued to make her home in McGregor, tho taking trips to visit her children, or to spend the winter with her daughter in New Orleans, as she was doing at the time of her death. The remains were interred in New Orleans, but later they will be brought to her old home for burial beside her husband.
It is with the deepest regret that we learned of the passing away of this "Grand Old Woman," and yet when we view the past labors and life work of her, whose age (84) exceeds the settlement of the County; who has resided in Clayton County for over 65 years; who has shared the toils and troubles and privations of the early settlers, the rise, progress and prosperity of Iowa, we must feel that it is but the natural ending of a well spent life.
Mrs. NOBLE came, with her husband, the late Reuben NOBLE, to Jacksonville, now Garnavillo, in 1844, and from the first her strong intellect and personal qualities gained the respect and admiration of her fellows. Always considerate for the weak and wayward, cherishing the noble and the good, she became a moving and abiding agent for good. She was the first Post Mistress of Jacksonville in 1845 and 1846 and was an official both obliging and efficient. It has often been said that the personality of Judge NOBLE, his love of justice and peace, his efforts to settle disputes of all kinds on a peaceable and equitable basis, has leftist imprint, upon not only the Bar, but upon the people of the County, and it may with equal truth he said that the influence of Mrs. NOBLE for justice and integrity, for kindness and hospitality, for wise counsel and womanly graces, has left a strong impress upon all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
From Garnavillo, Mr. and Mrs. NOBLE moved to a farm on Pleasant Ridge, and lived there for many years and until they came to this city to make their home.
