From "History of Morrow County and Ohio" c1880 - Neely Noble, farmer; P.O., Mt. Gilead; was born in Stark Co., O. in 1823. Mr. Noble's father, James Noble - is a native of Shenandoah county, Va., and is now living in Washington Township, Morrow Co., O., and is one of its oldest settlers. Mr. Noble came with his father to this township when only 10 years old. All the schooling he ever got was obtained in a log school-house in the vicinity, working on the farm in the summer and going to school in the winter. During his eighteenth year he helped to build the first railroad in the the State of Ohio, then called Sandusky and Newark R.R., now a part of the Baltimore and Ohio R.R. Mr. Noble was married April 20th, 1852, to Miss Martha Elliott, but after eight years married life she died, and in 1861 he married Miss Jane Walker, who is still living. Their family is as follows --Franklin Pierce, 27; Robert Lee, 24; Chas. Fremont, 18; James Ellsworth, 16; and Lincoln, 13 years of age. Mr. Noble has a fine large farm along the eastern boundary of the township, but stock grazing is the particular branch of industry he follows - raising thorough-bred stock, horses, cattle and sheep. Of the "Durham" breed of cattle he has some as fine specimens and as near thorough-bred as can be found in the county. In this department of husbandry he is already a success.
