    • ADDIE MILES NOYES

      Mrs. Addie (Miles) Noyes was born in Orford, N. H., Feb. 22, 1839, and died in Manchester, N. H., June 25, 1897. Left an orphan at two years of age, she found a home with her grandmother, by whom she was tenderly nurtured. At the age of thirteen she entered the academy at Wentworth, N. H., and graduated from that institution two years later. Feb. 20, 1856, she was married to Rev. George C. Noyes, being then seventeen years of age. They made their first home in Warren, N. H., where, under the pastoral labors of Rev. O. H. Call, Sister Noyes experienced religion and united with the M. E. church.
      For seven years after their marriage, Bro. Noyes was engaged in business in Warren and in Lawrence, Mass. Believing himself called of God to preach the gospel, he removed to Newbury, Vt., where he entered the Conference seminary, and completed a three years' course of study. During these years of study and self denial, Sister Noyes was a faithful help-meet to her husband and with willing hands and wise counsels, rendered him great assistance. She realized that she was as truly called to the work of the ministry as her husband, and she consecrated her time and talents to this one object. During the twenty-four years of her husband's ministry, it is but just to the memory of this consecrated woman to say that she, in a very large measure, contributed to his great usefulness in all departments of ministerial labor.
      Sister Noyes possessed a well balanced mind. Her talents were employed with the most conscientious diligence. She was very constant in the use of the means of grace and faithful in the performance of religious duties. She was especially useful in carrying forward the benevolent enterprises of the church. For this work she had that tact, energy and good judgment that made her eminently successful in these lines of labor. She, with her honored husband, was always found in the front rank of temperance workers. Her interest was especially devoted to the work of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. In this, as in every other good work, it may be truly said of her, "She hath done what she could."
      In her home she was what every minister of the gospel needs - a good housekeeper, a genial companion, a discreet counselor, a faithful true and loving wife. As an associate with her husband in Christian labor, she won the hearts of the people, made strong friendships and, best of all, won many hearts to Christ.
      Soon after the death of her husband, in 1890, she removed to Manchester, where she remained until her death. During the years of her widowhood she remained loyal to her church, administering the means at her command with great prudence, that she might be able to give the more for benevolent objects. She was indeed a cheerful giver.
      One year ago at the session of our Conference in Manchester we were a guest in her home, at her request. She was then quite ill and, while patient and hopeful, she evidently felt that her sickness might prove her last. With that calm composure which ever characterized her, she made all arrangements for her funeral, and left a written request that the writer should prepare her memoir, as he had previously written that of her husband. Death was gain to her. She left few near relatives, but many near friends, who will cherish her memory and hope to meet her when "mortality is swallowed up of life."
