CHARLES P. L. NOXON of 157 Strong av., inventor of the spark coil used extensively on early model automobiles, is dead at 86.
Mr. Noxon died yesterday at the family residence after a short illness.
Patents on the coil were issued to the Syracuse inventor in 1906 and again in 1907, and three years later Charles F. Kettering, at that time vice president of the Dayton Engineering Laboratories Co., Dayton, O., negotiated a contract with Mr. Noxon whereby he was paid royalties for the use of his invention. Kettering is a former vice president of General Motors Corp.
In 1910, Mr. Noxon erected a structure at Adams and Oneida st. which is still known as the Noxon bldg. There he manufactured his famous spark coil, later branching out into other automotive electric fields as his coil was obsoleted by the advent of the megneto.
Mr. Noxon retired in 1935 and had since lived in Syracuse and vicinity, devoting much of this time to his favorite hobby, the raising of English setters.
A member of a widely known family, Mr. Noxon was a grandson of B. Davis Noxon, early jurist, for whom Noxon st., now Herald pl., was named. He was a nephew of the late Judge James Noxon.
Born in North Norwich, Aug. 10, 1864, he moved to Baldwinsville as a small boy, coming to Syracuse with his family about 75 years ago. He attended Ginn's preparatory school and then worked as an electrician in Syracuse and for a time in San Francicso.
In 1901, he established his own business here, manufacturing x-ray machines and spark plugs.
He was one of the original members of the Technolgy Club and a member of the Automobile Club, St. Paul's Episcopal Church and Syracuse Lodge 501, F. and A. M.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Anna Boldry Noxon; two sons, M. Per Lee Noxon and Charles E. Noxon; three daughters, Mrs. John E. Holmes of Cazenovia, Mrs. Grace Noxon of Elmira and Mrs. Charles R. Page of Chattanooga, Tenn.; seven grandchildren and a nephew.
The funeral will be at 11 A.M. tomorrow at the family residence, the Rev. John R. Woodcock officiating. Burial will be in Oakwood Cemetery.
