ALBERT NOYES. 



Dr. JAMES C. WESTON. 



"Par nobile fratrum." 



Albert Notes of Bangor, died suddenly of disease of the heart, 

 March 16, 1877. 



He was mentioned in the act of incorporation of the Maine State 

 Pomological Society in 1873, was a member of the Executive 

 Committee during that year, and afterwards till the time of his 

 death Trustee for Penobscot county. He ever manifested a deep 

 interest in this and kindred associations, hence it is appropriate 

 here to pass briefly in review the leading incidents of his active 

 life. 



He was born in Newburyport, Mass., Aug. 9, 1816, and was the 

 son of John and Nancy (Garron) Noyes. When he was two years 

 old the family removed to Salem, Mass., where he obtained his 

 education. In 1836 they removed to Bangor, and Albert Noyes, 

 in company with his elder brother Henry, commenced the iron and 

 tin ware business, in which he continued until the day of his death. 

 He was a successful and honorable manufacturer and merchant 

 and gained the confidence and esteem of the whole community. 



In 1840 he was married to Caroline Dole of Bangor, who with 

 four sons and three daughters, survive him. In his private life, 

 he was genial and kind, an aflectionate relative and warm friend. 

 In his public life, he was charitable, benevolent, cheerfully accept- 

 ing offices in his city, in his parish and in his favorite associations 

 which would tax his time and energies, and heartily cooperating 

 in every project which would tend to benefit the community.
