many years a large part of the probate and justice business of his community, and has discharged the duties pertaining to the numerous positions of trust and honor which have been conferred upon him with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the public. Mr. Noyes is a man who through a long and busy life has so deported himself as to win the esteem and highest regard of the entire circle of his acquaint- ance. He enjoys the implicit confidence of those with whom he has been brought in contact during his many years of business life; he is sought by many for advice, and is frequently appealed to for the settlement of differences, all parties feeling as- sured that his sense of justice will result in a fair de- cision. He is a public-spirited citizen, progressive in his ideas, broad and liberal in his views, and carries about with him in his every-day life an atmosphere of kindness and sociability, before which all feelings of restraint immediately disappear, and the stranger is almost immediately an acquaintance.
In religious belief Mr. Noyes is an Orthodox Con- gregationalist, and has been a constant and influen- tial member of the First Congregational Church in Chester for nearly fifty years. He is and has been for many years one of the trustees, and also treasurer, of the ministerial fund of the Congregational Society in Chester. He is a corporate member of the Ameri- can Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and is one of the trustees of several religious and benevolent institutions in the State.
He is a man of fine physique and striking personal appearance, and at seventy-two stands as erect and steps as elastic as most men of fifty.
