    Notes 
    • Nathaniel E. was a millionaire, as shown by his executors in the following article from the Haverhill Gazette: --

      "Bequests of Late Nathaniel Noyes Are Executed
      Heavy Tax Upon the Estate is Borne by Residuary Legatees

      Judge Ira A. Abbott and Miss Sarah Kittredge, the executors of the will of the late Nathaniel E. Noyes, yesterday forwarded the checks for the bequests to local institutions which were made in the will of the deceased. The amounts forwarded and the institutions were: Hale Hospital, $20,000; Public Library, Old Ladies' Home Association and the Children's Aid Society, $10,000 each. The deceased left an estate valued at $1,100,000, and the legacy tax upon the estate amounted to $3,000. Under the will the various legatees would have had to share this tax proportionately, but it was assumed by the residuary legatees so that the public legatees received their bequests in full.

      Mr. Noyes had no connections in this city, save that gained by spending the summers in this vicinity with his relatives. In spite of his wanderings in foreign lands, he evidently had a tender spot in his heart for the Massachusetts city to which he returned to die.

      The deceased was born in Salisbury, N.H., April 18, 1813. He was the son of Nathaniel and Sarah Emery Noyes and grandson of Rev. Nathaniel Noyes.

      He attended Groveland Academy and Phillips Exeter Academy but gave up his studies to learn the wholesale hardware business in Boston. Later he removed to Baltimore, Md., where in company with the late Mr. J.H. Stickney, he carried on the same business.

      He retired while still a young man and travelled extensively when foreign travel was far less common than at present. He often spoke of travelling through Spain on horseback. He resided in Paris for 20 years, making occasional visits to the United States. For about 20 years he had been in this country, spending the winters in Baltimore and Florida and the summers with his sister, the late Mrs. Mary E. Kittredge, and his neice, Miss Sarah N. Kittredge, in this city.

      He was a modest, upright man, decided in his opinions and of rare business ability. An extensive reader, he was well informed on all subjects, a gentleman of the old school, but so simple and retiring that in his latter days he made few friends. Perhaps for this reason he retained a greater regard for his kindred and the old friends remaining. To these he was an agreeable and instructive companion, a genial and hospitable host."
