Death of A. C. NOBLE.

This afternoon at 1 o’clock occurred the death of A. C. NOBLE, one of our oldest citizens, after an illness of only three days. On Wednesday he received a paralytic stroke from which he rallied but slightly yesterday, and then gradually sank until the end came today.

Uncle Abe, as he was familiarly known, was in his 79th year. He was born at Altoona, Pa., and came to Iowa in 1848. He afterward returned to his native state and remained until 1864 when he again moved to this county, where he has lived since. Six years ago he came to Fairfield from the country nearby, and has made many friends and acquaintances during his stay here. He was of a frank, courteous and cheerful disposition, and possessed many traits which endeared him to his friends and loved ones. His nature as his name was noble. The funeral services will occur at 2 p. m. Sunday. Geo. S. Heck, of Maryville, Mo., Mr. and Mrs. Irwin and Miss Irwin, of Birmingham, and Mrs. Mary ROSS, of Portland, Ore., will be present at the funeral.
