CARRIE ELIZABETH "CARRIE" LEMONS NOBLE
(1846 – Aft. 1921)
Caroline Elizabeth Lemons was born on June 2, 1846 at Prairie du Chein, Crawford County, Wisconsin- the youngest daughter of Jacob and Gertrude A. Price Lemons. The family lived at Prairie du Chein until about 1845 when they moved to what she and her siblings would later refer to as, "the old homestead." When the Civil War broke out, most of her family left for battle, including: her brothers, Jacob Jr., David, and Joseph, as well as her brother in law, John B. Coyle and her half brother, Samuel J. Burlock. All would return home except for her brother David who died at Atlanta.
Referred to as "Carrie" from the time of her childhood, she spent all of her growing up days on the family farm at Wauzeka. In 1863, her brother, Joseph E. Lemons, returned home from military duty on a medical disability. By 1870 he chose to take up a land claim in Minnesota, which was being offered to him for his service during the Civil War. He settled at Shell Rock (now Glenville), Freeborn County, Minnesota.
According to a sworn statement made by Carrie at a later date, Joseph Lemons had been "in that location about two years" when she moved to Minnesota herself. This would also coincide with the death of her father, who died at Wauzeka, Wisconsin on March 29, 1872. It appears that her father's death served as a sort of catalyst for the Lemons family's "great migration" westward:
*Mother, Gertrude A. Price Lemons comes west with John B. and Susan A. Lemons Coyle (Carrie's sister) and they settle at Alden, Freeborn County.
*Brother Moses Lemons settles at Shell Rock, Freeborn County.
*Brother Theodore Lemons finds his way to Shell Rock, Freeborn County as well.
*Brother Walter arrives in Minnesota and "works out" at various farms, but seems to stay mostly in Freeborn and Swift counties.
*By 1880, even her sister, Rebecca Lemons Ward and her family have settled at Hayward, Freeborn County (although they returned to Wisconsin several years later).
Carrie Lemons lived at Shell Rock, Minnesota for "about 3 years" when she was married to Alexander Noble on March 29, 1874 at Pickerel Lake, Freeborn County, Minnesota. The wedding occurred at the home of Carrie's half-brother, William H. Burlock, who had also moved his family from Iowa to that same area.
After their marriage, Alexander and Carrie Noble set up their first home at Albert Lea in Freeborn County. According to local newspapers of the time, Alexander was quite a businessman and entrepreneur while at Albert Lea. However, by 1900, they moved their family to Pope County, Minnesota. According to the 1900 Census, Carrie had given birth to a total of six children, only three of which were living at that time. Following is a list of these children:
*Francis David "Frank" Noble
*Rev. Albert Vernon Noble
*Charles Noble (died as an infant)
*Arthur Noble (died at age 2)
*Ida Evelyn Noble Skogstad
*Myrtle Noble (died as an infant)
In the early 1900's, the Noble family would make another move, this time to North Dakota. Several years prior to this time, Carrie's ½ brother, Samuel J. Burlock and his family had taken up a land claim in South Dakota, and had written of the farming benefits offered in the Dakota Territory. Alexander and Carrie took up residence "about nine miles from Donnybrook Post Office, address Donnybrook, Ward County, North Dakota from around 1903 to 1907. By 1907, there is an Alexander Noble who receives 160 acres in a land grant in North Dakota from President Roosevelt. To date however, it has not been confirmed if this is the same Alexander Noble, although it does appear to be. Shortly after 1907, the call of free land being offered by the Canadian Government in the Saskatchewan Territory became too great to resist. Alexander and his family took up a homestead at Paisley Brook, Saskatchewan. It is known that the Noble's remained in that location at least through 1914.
Although the details are not completely clear, it appears that Alexander returned to his former home "near Aurelia, North Dakota" in August 1914- perhaps to settle business affairs or to sell the property there. Sadly, he would not return to his family, as he died on or about August 16, 1914. According to Probate Records located in Saskatchewan, Alexander left no Will as his death was completely unexpected. From what the small newspaper item says, his body was undiscovered for more than a week and had to be buried immediately. So his family wasn't even able to be present for the burial.
After the tragic loss of her husband, it is known that Carrie Lemons Noble remained in Saskatchewan, and later resided with her daughter, Ida E. Noble Skogstad. Sadly, it is unknown when or where she died, or where her true location of burial is.
