Harry P. Noble, Jr.
Harry P. Noble, Sr., when he was a young man in his early twenties, moved ot Wichita Falls, Texas to make his fortune. While working a short period for his uncles in Noble Hardware, he met and married Maizie C. VINCENT. Like many young couples they soon started a family. Their first child was a girl and they named her Della Laverne. Another daughter was born and they name her Bobbie Lou. Then on December 6, 1929 their first son was born and they named him Harry P. Noble, Jr. Meanwhile, Harry Sr. a native of San Augustine and Sabine Counties, had borrowed money and opened his own business, a small radio shop....By the winter of 1934 the (great economic) depression had such a stranglehold on the economy, Harry Sr. had to close his radio shop. Since he owned a 270 acre farm in San Augustine County, he and Maizie decided to move to East Texas and ride out the depression there. On March 31, 1935, Laverne's tenth birthday, the family crowded into their small Ford car with all their earthly possessions and began the 380 mile trip to Robert S. and Della Noble's house in the northwestern part of Sabine County. They arrived at 11 a.m. the next day. The family's dog, Ginger, had ridden on the running boards all the way...Dad worked at a number of jobs to keep us fed. He had slaughtered, butchered and sold beef; developed and operated a cream route that extended all the way to Hemphill, and opened a radio repair shop. By 1938 a branch of the REA had headquarted in San Augustine (and) electrical lines were being constructed and houses wired for electricity. That's when Dad and I appeared in attics across the countryside wiring houses.
