Show FRED NOBLE. H iH THE news of the death of Fred Noble which occurred in Elko, M Nevada, on Saturday last came as a great shock to his host of ' friends in this city, especially those who had seen him here only a H few weeks ago when he was in the best of health. H While away from Salt Lake the greater part of the past eigh- teen years, attending to his affairs in California and Nevada, his fre- 1 quent trips to this city kept him in close touch with old friends who H grew up with him here, and seldom has a more sorrowful case in which they were helpless to break or soften the fearful blow, been H the subject of their contemplation. jJ Fred Noble was the only son of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Noble, and the brother of Mrs. L. C. Robinson, Mrs. Robert Gould-Smith, and Miss Mayme Noble . The Noble family is one of the oldest and JH most prominent in the city. . M Born in Lander, Wyoming, forty-five years ago, Fred Noble came here with his parents when but a lad, and grew up in this city. Lat- fH terly he made his home in Alameda making periodical trips to his ) Nevada ranch and to his old home here. His widow and two daughters survive him. jJ Fred Noble was a splendid type of man, typical of the west, and ' with that breadth of vision, generosity, and whole-hearted considera- , tion.that comes of life in the open spac&. He had everything to live for a beautiful home, bright hopes, a fortune, and a future un- ' -clouded. While spared the hardest part of the early struggle most M must .face, through the. suqqqss of his father, h,Q was anything but I llfS spoiled by it, and on the contrary was achieving a practical triumph HPj of his own wheii he was suddenly taken. H: In his usual perfect health when he left his home for Salt Hfl! Lake a week ago Sunday, he was carried from the train at Elko in a Hui serious condition, suffering from influenza which developed into H pneumonia, and in five short days he expired just before his wife and mm sister arrived. HI It makes one think that no compensation for some things can Hm be found in Fate's adjustments. In " The deep sympathy of all will go to his stricken relatives so'sud- HKI denly bereft and left in desolation. H |
