A survey of Noble township residents details R B Newton settling in 1869 with 800 acres including Newton's Grove, Levi Mountain 280 acres, German farmers like Dick Bode 120 acres, J B Hall 240 acres, and Epplesheimer holdings. The piece highlights family histories, landholdings, schooling, Republican leanings, and community prosperity amid abundant crops. It also notes Emma Cushing's death and a Women’s Foreign Missionary Society resolution, a printer’s quip, and a Maine Board of Education teaching vacancy.
