JOSEPH L. NOY

Joseph L. NOY came to Missouri Valley in the autumn of 1883, and engaged with C. S. HOAR & Co., with whom he remained until August, 1890, and then entered into partnership with O. B. WALKER, in the bakery and confectionery business, under the firm name of NOY & WALKER.

He was born in Perry County, Pa., October 3, 1862, and is the son of Andrew and Sarah (MICKEY) NOY. The mother was of German ancestry, her parents coming from Germany. Our subject's father was a carpenter; came to Benton County Iowa, in 1808, and died in 1871, and was buried at Vinton. The mother died in 1878, and was buried in the same place. Their family consisted of one son and three daughters. Two of the daughters died, and the other is the wife of C. S. HOAR, of Missouri Valley. Our subject is the youngest child of his father's family.

Mr. NOY was united in marriage June 10, 1888, to Alberta WALKER, who was born in Harrison County, Iowa. Her father, W. S. WALKER, was an early settler, and a full sketch of his life is found elsewhere in this work.
