This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online.


It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.


Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.

PUBLISHERS' PREFACE.


In placing this history of Noble County before their patrons, the publishers believe that their work will stand the test of candid criticism. They have spared neither time, labor nor expense to make the history all that it ought to be; and they feel assured that those citizens, who for a year have watched with friendly interest the progress of the work, will not be disappointed with the result of their efforts. 'That a book containing thousands of dates and names should be absolutely free from trivial errors, they do not claim, and thinking people will not expect; but such has been the care bestowed upon the work by competent, experienced men-writers, printers and proofreaders-it is believed that even the incon- sequential class of errors have been reduced to the minimum and that essential mis-statements of facts have been wholly avoided. The publishers have endeav- ored, by the aid of all that is excellent in the art of typography and the book- binder's skill, to send forth the history clothed as its worth deserves.


The publishers desire publicly to express their thanks for contributions and favors from Hon. W. H. Frazier, John Lemmax, E. P. Sullivan, G. W. Taylor, D. S. Spriggs, Judge W. C. Okey, John Noble, Gen. W. HI. Enochs of Ironton, Ohio, Fult. Caldwell, Chris. McKee, J. W. Robinson of Louisville, Ky., Col. C. S. Sargeant, Dr. John W. Kraps, Hon. L. W. Finley, S. B. Philpot, Capt. I. C. Phillips, W. H. Cooley, Capt. W. H. Moseley, B. F. Penn, I. C. Wernecke, C. Foster, F. M. Thompson. The county officials and the editors of the Cald- well newspapers, Messrs. Cooley, Jennings, Martin and Evans, members of the medical and legal professions, ministers of the Gospel, the G. A. R. posts and soldiers of the Rebellion, and old residents generally, who have given information of importance and value, are also assured that their courtesies have been appreci- ated. The chapters relating to the pioneer histories of the various townships and villages of the county have been gleaned largely from personal interviews with the oldest residents and best informed citizens in all parts of the county. 'To name all who have aided in making the volume interesting and valuable would require a chapter by itself. Suffice it to say, that the publishers desire to return sincere and heartfelt thanks for the interest manifested in the work by all intelligent citizens of the county, and for the uniform courtesy and kindness with which they have been received by all with whom they have had business or social relations.
