Noble was reared at home and living in the country in pioneer days, his educational advantages were very limited. He was united in marriage on Nov. 29, 1855, to Miss Margaret Felkner, of Kosciusko County, Indiana. He farmed as a renter and in 1862 they located on the farm of his uncle in Kosciusko County. Mr. Hall is a veteran of the Civil war, having enlisted on the 17th of February, 1865, in Company B, 152nd Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He was assigned to both garrison and detached duty during his service, which was terminated by discharge granted on the 30th of August, 1865. He holds membership in the James Ewing Post, G. A. R.
In the fall of 1868 they moved to Story County, Iowa. They purchased 80 acres of land on section 23, Indian Creek township, on which he located in 1871. Later he added to his holdings, until his farm contained 130 acres. The land was unimproved when he bought it but at the time of his retirement, 20 years later, it was one of the best farms in that section. In 1891 Mr. and Mrs. Hall removed to Maxwell, where they still reside, and the following year they sold the farm to their son-in-law, Charles Porter. They had Five children:
1. Nancy E., wed Charles Porter, of Indian Creek township,
2. Rosetta, wed Samuel Miller, of Maxwell,
3. Amy C., wed H. J. Garlock, a banker of Maxwell. Mrs. Garlock is a graduate of the Maxwell high school and also took a normal course at Nevada, Iowa.

5. Mildred, wed George H. Hay, a farmer in Polk county, Iowa, was educated at the Cumberland Presbyterian College at Lincoln, Illinois.
All of their daughters were teachers in the public school prior to their
marriage.
