Died, in Dundee, Yates county, N.Y. Dr. O.E. Noble, aged 81. His death marks the close of a long and useful life.  A ripe sheaf gathered in.  He was ripe in years, ripe in the gathered treasures of Christian attainment and Christian usefulness.  He was a son of Deacon I. Noble, long and favorably known in Oxford and Norwich [Chenango Co., NY].  The subject of this sketch united with the Baptists of Norwich when a boy of 12 years, at the time of the great revival in 1816.  He was married to Sabrina Humphrey, daughter of James Humphrey, Esq., Her death occurred seven years ago.  He practiced medicine about 40 yrs.  In Oxford and Binghamton eight years.  In the latter place he changed his practice and became a homoeopath.  Most of his active life was spent in Penn Yan, N.Y., where he gained a large practice and held it for 20 years till failing health compelled him to give up his ride.  He then removed to New York city, and did medical business for seven years, when he retired from his profession, and went to reside with his son, Dr. Geo. 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.A. Noble, druggist and practicing physician at Dundee and Cerepta D. wife of Rev. Dr. Norton, of Central Park church.
