General Notes: Husband - Jacob J. Noss


He was born in Juniata County, Pennsylvania, and was eight years of age in 1818, when he came with his parents to Beaver County. He established a brick works, being the first man to manufacture brick west of the Allegheny Mountains. This business grew to large proportions for that time, and Mr. Noss was connected with it until his death. He transported the brick down the river on keel boats, built by himself, the motive power being horses and oxen. When he went to Pittsburgh with his loads of brick he would get stoves, nails, and other useful commodities for a return load, and then use his home as a distributing point, for various sections of the country, even sending as far as Wheeling, West Virginia. He was a man of many-sided ability, and constructed the C. & P. railroad from Rochester to Vanport, for the Coudersport & Port Allegheny railroad. He was one of the most extensive land owners in that region, and laid out the town of Vanport, Beaver County. While he was active in the interests of the community and a consistent supporter of the Republican party, he would never consent to hold public office. He was also an active member of the Presbyterian church, and held in high esteem in it. [GPHWP, 120]
