By his first marriage he had one daughter, now the mother of two children, Dr. Kenneth Noble of Milan, and Miss Helen Hamilton of Detroit...he was born in Monroe, December 19, 1839, and was the son of Hon. David A. Noble, a pioneer of this county..." Dr. Kennth Noble's obituary was in the Monroe Evening News, Sept. 15, 1952: "Milan: Dr. Kenneth Noble, 69, physician at Milan for 48 years and chairman of Monroe County war price and rationing board for 18 months, died yesterday in his home at 128 E. Main St. here, after a lengthy illness. Services will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday in the Stevens and Bush funeral home here, where the body will lie in state until then. Burial will be in Marble Memorial Park Cemetery. The Rev. Leroy Caggabe will officiate. Born in Monroe May 13, 1883, he was the son of Frank and Sarah Hamilton (sic). At an early age he was adopted by his maternal grandfather, Henry Shaw Noble, whose parents were early settlers of Monroe and for whom Noble Ave. was named. He was confirmed in childhood in the Episcopal church. In May, 1904, he was graduated from the Detroit College of Medicine, now Wayne University, and located in Milan the following October. He was a member of the Phi Rho Sigma fraternity. He married Berthia (sic) Blackmer Scheunight, who survives, Feb. 28, 1907.
