YORK, Noble - Fountain County INGenWeb Project

Noble J. York died at his home on Milroy avenue at 9:05 p. m., Monday night, of acute pneumonia. His age at the time of bis death was 62 years. A widow and four children survive him. He has been sick only about two weeks, coming home from the state legislature, where he was employed as a doorkeeper at the senate, suffering from a supposed case of stomach trouble, which developed into a case of pneumonia and caused his death. At the time the crisis in his case was reached hopes for his recovery were bright and his death came as a surprise. V Mr. York *was born at Laurel, Fountain county, Ind., June 4, 1847, but lived the greater part of life at and near Monon and Rensselaer, coming here shortly after the death of his sister’s husband, William Rhoades, five years ago. While living at Monon he was instrumental in ridding that town of saloons and its lawless element, and his death will be a severe blow to his friends in that community. He acquired considerable property at that place and owned at the time of his death several business and residence buildings there. The funeral will be held at the home Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. and made in Weston cemetery.
