Noble was a farmer from birth, happy to be by his father's side working the land his parents owned. He valued working and cultivating the soil and watching wheat come up. He scarcely had time to do more than his chores and go to school at the Rural Normal School south of Weatherford. Switching to town for school, Noble jumped on the bus and saw Miss Rachel Folks sitting in the seat and that was it, he found his bride. They courted as Noble received his call to service in World War II on August 13, 1942 with the promise upon his return they would marry. He married his "Sweetheart" on January 22, 1946 on the half-section of the home of Rachel's parents. They made their home on the farm loving the land and Noble working construction in the winters. With their three boys, they moved to town in the early 60's continuing to farm the land while living in Weatherford and making many memories with his "Honey" of 58 years.
