OBITUARY

The entire community was shocked and pained Wednesday to hear of the death of Mrs. A. L. Noble, who died Wednesday, Jan. 22, of heart failure at her home, 320 S. Division street.

She was born December 25, 1847, in Carlton, New York. and lived in New York until June, 1871, when she married Mr. A. L. Noble and came with him to Ann Arbor to live. Mr. Noble after a most honorable business career in this city, died in May, 1894, leaving a widow and three children. The latter, Mr. Clarence Noble, of Milwaukee, Mrs. Jas. H. Prentiss and Harry Noble of Ann Arbor, survive their parents.

Mrs. Noble had been ill for several months and was so much worse the last week that the end was not unexpected. She "fell asleep" surrounded by her children.

Mrs. Noble, soul after taking up her residence in this city, in 1871, became identified with the Methodist church and from that time until her death was one of its most loyal members, being on the official board when the messenger came bidding her depart to that realm where as a reward for her years of bravery and unselfishness she was to hear the words of her Master: "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."

In every good work for the uplifting of humanity Mrs. Noble was ever ready to lend a hand, and she gave freely of herself and her means to add to the sum of the world's happiness.

The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence.
