REUBEN NOBLE FROM McGREGOR, IOWA

REUBEN NOBLE was born on the 14th of April, 1821, in Adams County, Mississippi, where his father was a planter.  The father was opposed to human slavery and in 1833 removed to Illinois to rear his family in a free State.  When the son was eighteen years of age he began to study law and was admitted to the bar at twenty-one.  In 1843 he came to Iowa, making his home at Garnavillo, in Clayton County.  In 1854 he was elected as a free soil Whig to the Legislature and upon the organization of the House was chosen Speaker, serving in the regular and extra sessions of 1854-5-6.  At the first Republican Stare Convention of 1856 Reuben Noble was placed at the head of the ticket for presidential elector.  Four years later he was a delegate to the National Convention which nominated Abraham Lincoln for President.
