And in all that is Noble, let us ever strive hard
And in heaven reap a Noble reward."

POEMS WRITTEN BY JOSEPH NOBLE

The following two poems were written by Joseph Noble, the son of John Noble. Joseph lived in Patterson, New Jersey.

The first poem was written for a friend residing in Clifton, England, and has references to the scenes and incidents of his early life.

MY NATIVE HOME by Joseph Noble

Forty-eight years ago, or mroe,
I left old England's briny shore,
And came to this far western land.

The keen regret I did imbibe,
To you I cannot now describe,
What I felt no tongue can tell,
When bidding living friends farewell.

I always love my native home,
And with regret I here did come,
But circumstances seemed to say
'Twas best for me to come away.

So here I came in search of health,
In search of fortune and of wealth;
An oh! What changes I have seen,
While in this foreign land I've Been.

Though I have lived here forty years,
'Midst shade and sunshine, storms and tears,
Though my adopted home I bless,
I love old England none the less.

I've traveled for away down east,
I've traveled far away out west,
Where'er I go, where'er I roam,
I never find a place like home.

My native home! Oh yes, 'Tis sweet
To think of that dear, sacred spot
Where I first breathed the vital air-
Where I enjoyed a mother's care.

I love the hawthorne and holly bough
From which we made our knurs, you know;
The wild brier, with its rose so sweet,
And those grand violets at their feet.

I love the skylark's thrilling notes,
As proudly in the air it floats,
The cuckoo, too, I loved to hear,
Reminding me that spring was near.

And I love those games and sports,
Those gala days and grand resorts,
With football, cricket, knurr and spell,
With shuttlecock, and kites as well.

And those excursions cheap, which rn
To London, York, and the Isie of Man,
To Harrogate, Hull, and Scarbro', too,
As at lightning speed on the rail we flew.

O what fond memories cluster round
Those bygone days, wherein I found
Those lovely scenes I can't forget
Those joys and sports I'd relish yet.

Although my memory has grown poor,
Alathough death is nearly at my door,
And old and feeble though I be-
These things all seem still fresh to me.

Tho' seven times I've crossed the sea,
Yet once again I'd like to be
Landed on that briny shore,
And see my native home once more.

But now I fear this cannot be,
For I am old and grey, you see;
I must forego that boon so dear,
And tarry, whilst I live, just here.

But soon I'll drop this mortal clay,
And rise to that eternal day,
And when in spirit life I reign,
I'll see my native home again.

I'll take my bearings from the sky,
And then, as quick as thought, I'll fly
On wings of love until I come
To that sweet place-my native home.

I'll visit first that humble cot,
Where nature first did cast my lot;
Where I first saw the light of day,
And started on life's thorny way.

Around that garden then I'll go,
Where I did cultivate and grow
Those flowers so grand, that fruit so sweet,
The flowers to view, the fruit to eat.

I'll visit then my childhood's scenes,
Which now to me look just like dreams,
Those places, when on pleasures bent,
In which my youthful days were spent.

I'll tread those fields, those lanes, that road
Where I, and my intended trod;
Where I, with her so bright and fair,
Built many castles in the air.

I'll see that church, which once we went,
With loving hearts and good intent,
To get that man with silvery tones
To tie the knot-'twas Parson Jones.

Those sacred places then I'll reach
Where I the word did use to preach,
Where many a happy day I've spent
In labours that were then well meant.

With my dear wife adn children then
I'll run o'er field and glade and glen;
I'll mount those rocks, I'll ford these rills,
I'll climb those grand old Yorkshire hills.

With nought to stay our progress there,
We'll run and ramble everywhere;
With pleasure we will often roam
Around that sweet, that native home.


The following untitled poem was composed and read by Joseph at the Noble Reunion and picnic held in the English Settlement on September 23, 1893.

UNTITLED by Joseph Noble

Dear brothers so loving, so faithful and true,
It gives me great pleasure to meet with you;
As well as those nephews, nieces and friends
With whom my feelings and sympathy blends.

Fifty-one years ago, or a little more,
You arrived on Wisconsin's lake bound shore,
You have pitched your tent, you here took your stand
On which was then this far western land.

With father and mother, Henrietta and Ann,
With Allen and Dyson you here began
To start a new life and build up a home
And citizens of this new country become.

Your prospects in life you then thought were bright
And so you prepared life's battle to fight.
That life has been checkered again and again
With sunshine and shade and pleasure and pain.

Dear Henrietta was first to be taken away
In the bloom of her youth, so cheerful and gay,
And then poor Dyson sickened and died,
Far away down east, close by my side.

And then dear father the summons obeyed
And in the quiet grave his body was laid.
And soon after that dear mother was called
To join the glad throng in the heavenly fold.

Eighteen years ago the rest of me met
On that old homestead that stands there yet
With sister, seven brothers and nephews and nieces;
All happy and pleasant with sweet smiling faces.

But very soon after poor Allen passed on,
And today we find sister Ann, too, has gone.
The youngest and oldest have reached that blest shore
Where those I have mentioned had passed on before.

Thus six have passed on and six are left here.
At this Noble picnic now we appear;
There's James and there's John, Simeon and John,
With Henry and Lewis following on.

Tough, old and feeble, we are here today;
Though careworn and tired, wrinkled and gray,
With the turmoils and troubles, disappointments and tears
That we have experienced the last fifty years.

In a few years more we shall all be gone,
One after another we shall soon pass on.
But O! What a host of nephews and nieces
Stand ready and willing to step in our places.

To give you their names it was my intention,
But I find them far too numerous to mention.
The young and the old, the large and the small,
It would take me all day to go through them all.

There's fifty-nine nephews and sixty-two nieces.
Which shows how this Noble family increases.
They have increased and scattered in rapid motion,
Until they now reach from ocean to ocean.

Away down east on the Atlantic coast
There are four of whom I am proud to boasst,
And away out west on the Pacific slope
There is one who is making his fortune I hope.

And between those seas they are sandwiched in,
So numerous I hardly know where to begin.
To give you their residence, their location relate,
For I find them in almost every state.

Some you find way off in Minnesota
And some you find in the state of Dakota.
In Iowa and Kansas the Noble's appear,
And both are well represented here.

And still I find there are a few more,
Far over the lake on the Michigan shore,
And as for Wisconsin, my how rank they appear,
If you don't believe it, just look around here.

O! What sweet memories will cluster around
The pleasures and greetings which among you I've found,
From the odlest and youngest all through the line;
To make me so welcome you have seemed to combine.

It's been Uncle Joe her, and Uncle Joe there,
It' been Uncle Joe, Uncle Joe everywhere;
I am greeted with this wherever I go
Even that little babe says how do you do, Uncle Joe?

Dear brothers, dear nephews and nieces too,
I thank you sincerely, I thank you all through;
Through all coming years, wherever I be
I shall never forget your kindness to me.

But soon we must part perhaps never to meet,
Again in this life each other to greet.
But let us all meet on that evergreen shore,
Where parting will never be known any more.

1219 June 2, 1892
Laid to rest with befitting ceremonies.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Julia M. Philibert occurred this morning from the fammily residence in Benton. In accordance with the desire expressed by the deceased the services over her remains were conducted at St. Malachy's Church, Ewing and Clark Avenues, solemn requiem mass was sung and a pretty eulogy was pronounced by Rev. Father Ziegler, the rector of the parish. The funeral was largely attended, the deceased having made scores of friends by her kindly disposition and manifold charities. Eight grown children and fourteen grandchildren were present, and the officers of the Philibert and Johanninz Co. attended in a body. That establishent was founded by Benjamin Philibert, the husband of the deceased, who died some years ago. Following the services the cortege proceeded to Calvary where the remains were interred in the family lot.
Mrs. Philibert, who was in her 71st year at the time of her demise, was a granddaughter of John B. Ortes, the friend and associate of Pierre Liguest, one of the original founders of St. Louis. 		LEGUERRIER JULIA (Julie) Marie (I07907)
 
1220 June 4, 1892
At a meeting of the directors of the Philibert and Johanning Manufacturing Company held at their office, No. 1502 Market Street, on the first day of June, 1892, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted relative to the death of the late Mrs. Julia M. Philibert.
Whereas, it had pleased Almighty God in the course of His divine providence to remove from our midst Mrs. Julia M. Philibert, widow of the late Benjamin Philibert, the founder of this ibnstitution, and who by his energy, devotion and business foresight so largely contributed to the uniform success of this company, and,
Whereas, we recognize in Mrs. Julia M. Philibert many of those characteristics possessed by her grandfather, John B. Ortes, the associate of the eminent Liguet (one of the original founders of the city of St. Louis), and who in the relations of life as daughter, wife and mother furnished an example worthy of imitation,
Be it resolved, that in the death of Mrs. Julia M. Philibert we humbly bow to the will of our Heavenly Father, in whom she so faithfully trusted during three score and eleven years of her useful life, representing four generations, given uplargely to acts of benevolence, piety and unostentatious charity, and,
That in her death we have sustained an irreparable loss commensurate with her many virtues, clear judgment and noble example, and,
That our sympathy be extended to her bereaved family, and,
That a copy of these resolutions be furnished them and spread on the minutes of this meeting, and,
That we attend the funeral in a body.

Wm. G. Frye, Secretary

Benjamin was baptized Pierre, but was accused by his brothers of being their father's favorite, hence he was called Benjamin from the Bible story of Joseph and his brothers.

Obituaries:
St. Louis Post Dispatch, December 22, 1881
One of the morning papers tell about a citizen of St. Louis, named Philibert, who died last Friday, worth $300,000, who had never been outside the city - never had ridden a steamboat nor a railroad train in his life. We desire to say that this gentleman was not a typical citizen, the opinion of theChicago press to the contrary notwithstanding. The majority of St. Louis men take a ride by steamboat and railroad occassionally and they seem to be all the better for it. Still the success of Mr. Philibert shows what a man can accomplish here by staying strictly at home and attending to his own affairs.

St. Louis Globe Democrat, December 18, 1881
This is a notable day with some of the undertakers, and there are a nunmber of funerals of more than ordinary importance. Mr. Lynch of Olive Street, has four affairs in charge and says it is one of the most remarkable coincident days in all of his experience. The remains of Major Turner, Mrs. Ulriet and Mrs. Ma-ura are to be interred, and also those of Mr. Benjamin Philibert, who died at the age of 66 and was a member of the firm of Philibert and Johanning, planing-mill proprietors. The latter gentleman was one of the oldest of St. Louis citizens, and Mr. Lnch says he remembers visiting him as a boy at the old famikly residence at the corner of Main and Walnut streets, a full half century ago. All of the deceased were connected with the old French families and were more or less identified with the earlier history of the city.

St. Louis Globe Democrat - December 19, 1881
EARTH TO EARTH
Ceremonies attending the interment of remains of Benjamin Philibert and Mrs. Ulriet.
The obsequies of the late Benjamin Philibert took place yesterday morning and were of an imposing and impressive character. At an early hour the family residence, 2705 Clark Avenue, was thronged by the numerous relatives of the deceased and many prominent citizens who came to pay their last tribute of respect and friendship to the departed. The casket was almost covered with a profusion of floral offerings. A beautiful pillow, with the inscription "Our Father" covered the head of the casket, and was the tribute of Mr. Philibert's children; a wreath with the words "Our Grandpa", from the grandchildren, and another large wreath having on it in handsome letters "Our Uncle Ben", from the nieces and nephews.
At 10:00 o'clock the coffin was placed in the hearse, and the funeral procession moved to St. Malaobt's Church, Summit and Clark Avenues. The edifice was completely crowded by the attendants at the funeral and members of the church. Requiem high mass was celebrated, Father Zeigler acting as celebrant, assisted by Father Brennan and another priest.
After mass Father Zeigler preached a short but eloquent sermon, eulogizing the deceased and alluding to his manly traits and sterling virtues, his well-known benevolence and loveable disposition as a kind father and loving husband.
The musical services were excellent and elaborate; consisting of Gregorian chants, several trios, and the "Ave Maria" impressively rendered. The choir was under the direction of Mr. J. B. Grant. (The names were listed but difficult to make out due to a tear in the original it was copied from.)
At the conclusion of the services, the pall-bearers Messrs. Aug. Legg, George Ulrich, Hl. Romer, Frank T. Barada, Mr. Longneinare and the four sons of the deceased, took up the casket adn bore it to the hearse. The cortege then moved off to Calvary Cemetery, where the remains were interred.
Among those in attendance were the Papin, Longueinare, Barada and Boutz families, all family connections and descendants of Mme. Ortez, the gbrandmother of Mr. Philibert; Capt. Joseph LaBarge, C. H. Peek, Richard Dowling, Dr. Aug. Fisher, J. W. Booth, D. Berthold, Ms. Webster, and other well-known citizens.

St. Louis Globe Democrat - December 20, 1881
Sixty-three years a resident of St. Louis, and not once out of the city.
A man who died worth $300,00 and never rode on a steamboat or a steam road.
The death of Mr. Benjamin Philibert, on Friday last, removed from the business andsocial community an active and much-esteemed citizen. Though quiet and uneventful, his career revives some of the earliest recollections of St. Louis, with the history and growth of which he was closely identified. His family going back only two generations, was among the pioneer settlers who founded St. Louis with Pierre Laclede and Pierre Chouteau. Mr. Philibert's maternal grandmother was the famous Madame Ortex, the first white woman who came to the then insignificant French settlement, but important Indian trading post, and who died not many years ago at the age of 103 years. Madame Ortez with whose history every old citizen is familiar, ahd three daughters, the youngest of whom married Joseph Philibert, the father of the subject of this brief sketch. Joseph Philibert was an adventurous and hardy Canadian, who cast his fortunes with the first settlers. He was one of the most prominent and enterprising of the energetic men who first planted civilization on the western bank of the Mississippi.
In the pursuit of fur trading he amassed what in those times was a large fortune, which, at his death, he left to his widow and children: Benjamin, the eldest of the children, was born October 21, 1818. The family residence at that time was on Maln and Washington Avenue, the aristocratic residence portion of the Village. Six blocks further west was a complete wilderness, and in his youthful days Mr. Philibert often hunted game with his companions where today stand some of the large and most extensive business establishments of the city.
The Early Manhood of Mr. Philibert, like the most of his life, was devoid of any eventful incident. At an early age he entered the Jesuit Colege and received a good education, both secular and religious. His parents were devout Catholics, and his piet and belief in that religion was as ardent. he was not of an adventurous spirit, but naturally modest and retiring in disposition, and inherited the marked and perculiar characteristics of his ancestors and of the people of his time. While he did not disapprove of worldly pleasures, he studiously avoided them. Neither grasping nro mercenary, he was entirely wrapped up in his business and domestic affairs. In 1840 he was married to a cousin, Miss Lequere who survives him after forty years of wedded life. About the time of his marriage, or soon after, he embarked in business and started a largeplaning mill on thirteenth and Chestnut streets. So successful was he that several years later, to meet the increase of business, he was obliged to remove to the present location on Fifteenth and Market. Mr. Branconier, an old and worthy citizen, was his partner until a few years ago. On Mr. Branconier's retirement, Mr. Johanning, the surviving partner who had been chief book-keeper of the firm for over thirteen years, was given a fifth interest in the establishment, which today is one of the largest and most extensive of the kind in the city. Mr. Philibert always avoided notoriety of any kind, and disliked ostentatious display. So highly esteemed and regarded was he that the office of Mayor was offered him at one time by leading citizens and business men, but he firmly declined the position, saying that he was wedded to his business and his family. This assertion of his was true in every respect. Commanding as he did a great influence in the community, both socially and in business, and as the bend of an esxtensive manufacturing enterprise, it is a remarkable fact that from the day of his birth and during his existence of 63 yrs, Mr. Philibert was never out of the city.
Still more remarkable is it that althoughengaged in an important mechanical pursuit and interested in everything that pertained to it, he never traveled on a steamboat or rode on a railroad car. Indeed, it was asserted by one of his most intimate friends that he did not ride on a street car until several years after that now indispensable system of transit was intoduced here. By careful attention to business affairs, Mr. Philibert ammased a considerable fortune, estimated at over $300,000.
Hundreds can testify to his generous and liberal philanthropy, and he never turned a deam ear to any appeal of the distressed. He gave quickly without ostentation, and all that went from his purse in charity during his lifetime would figure up a handsome little fortune. His wiwfe and eight children - four sons and four daughters - all grown, survive him.
