Died, in Dunkee, Yates county, N.Y.  Dr. O.E.

Noble, where he remained till he passed peacefully away.  Dr. Noble was emphatically a Christian man.  While in full practice he was seldom absent from the house of worship on the Sabbath.  He was a close student of the Bible, and was ever loyal to its teachings.  When inquired of as to his feelings he repeated in a feeble voice, 1 Thess. 4:13, 14 and 2 Tim. 1:10  These were his last words.  He leaves two children G.Z.
