Excerpt from In Memory of George Clement Noyes George Clement Noyes was born in Landaff, N. H., August 4, 1833. He was the son of worthy and pious parents. His father, Jacob Noyes, did what he could for the education of his children, and took a special interest in the promise that was early manifested in the fondness of his son George for books, and for every means of mental improvement within his reach. In 1844 the parents removed to Perry, Pike County, Ill. There the son attended the public schools, and soon afforded so many evidences of talent that he was encouraged to make an effort to obtain a liberal education. At the age of about sixteen he became a Christian, and from that time onward he was resolved to become a minister of the gospel. On one occasion some of his friends urged him to turn aside to the study of law, for which they thought his mental traits especially adapted him. For a short time he wavered, but his former pur pose was renewed with more determination than ever, and he wrote to a sister that he should feel that a woe awaited him if he did not preach the gospel. When nineteen years of age he entered Illinois College at Jacksonville, where he devoted himself faithfully to study, deported himself as an exemplary Christian, and graduated with the first honor of his class in 1855. In the fall of the same year he entered Union Theological Seminary, in the City of New York, where he maintained his accustomed position as a student, and graduated in 1858, highly esteemed by his professors and fellow students. In the same year he was married to Miss Ellen Smith, daughter of the Hon. David A. Smith, of Jacksonville, who became the mother of his six sons and one daughter. In 1858 he was ordained and was installed as the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Laporte, Ind.
