General Notes: Husband - Jacob Noah

---

He was a native of Germany, passing his childhood and youth in that country. He married and with his wife came to the United States. Upon arriving in this country they proceeded at once to Butler County, Pennsylvania, and there settled on a farm, passing the remainder of their lives in their new home.
In the "Fatherland" he had been a soldier, had served under Napoleon Bonaparte, and took part in that disastrous campaign which culminated in the retreat from Moscow. Mr. Noah was actually there before Moscow and shared in all the perils and hardships of the historic retreat. In the "New World" he pursued the life and occupation of a farmer, although never losing his interest in the politics of his time. A Whig at first, he eventually joined the Democratic party, a member of which he remained until his death. He and his wife were Lutherans in religion and in that belief reared their children.
