PARK NOBLE

Notice of the death of Park Noble, at his home in Allegon, Mich., came to his relatives here on last Tuesday. He had been helpless and hopeless invalid for the past 12 or 15 years, suffering from Locomotor Ataxia, in a virulent form.

Deceased was a native of Canada, coming in his youth to Onawa, Iowa, with his parents and later, thirty years ago, as a young man, an athlete, a perfect specimen of physical manhood, located with his family, in Blair, where he and his older brother, Ed., deceased some years ago, engaged in the grocery business. On retiring from business here, he engaged in train service on the Northwestern road and was a passenger conductor on the Sioux City and Elkhorn Valley lines for many years, until incapacitated by ill health for performance of his duties, when he was transferred to Fremont as ticket agent at that station, which position he held as long as his health permitted him permitted him to have supervision of the business, three years, when he resigned and went to live in Michigan, where his wife’s people resided, with the hope that the bracing air, invigorating climate and pure waters of that region would enable him to regain his health.

His mother, above four-score years of age, resides with her daughter, Mrs. F. M. Castetter, here, in the enjoyment of all her mental faculties and active in mind and body, surrounded by all the comforts that money and loving hands and hearts can procure. His brother, Herb, lives here in Blair and another brother, Ambrose, who recently visited here, at Odgen, Utah. Mrs. Castetter left Tuesday to attend the funeral.

Vig Files at the Danishe American Archives has his death date recorded as May 12, 1914. Find a Grave has it recorded May 16, 1914.
