Edward John Noble Hospital

St. Lawrence Plaindealer June 13, 1939
Who was Edward John Noble? From Wikipedia, "1882-1958) ...was a US Broadcasting and candy industrialist originally from Gouverneur, NY. He co-founded the Life Savers Corporation in 1913. He founded the American Broadcasting Company when he purchased the NBC Blue Network in 1943 following the FCC's decree that RCA divest itself of one of its two radio networks. In 1912chocolate manufacturer Clarence Crane from Cleveland, Ohio invented Life Savers as a "summer candy" that could withstand heat better than chocolate. Since the mints looked like miniature life preservers, he called them Life Savers. After registering the trademark, Crane sold the rights to the peppermint candy to Edward Noble for $2,900. Noble created tin-foil wrappers to keep the mints fresh, instead of cardboard rolls. Pep-O-Mint was the first Life Savor flavor. Since then many different flavors of Life Savers have been produced. The five-flavor roll first appeared in 1935. Sometimes Ed would sneak a wintergreen Lifesaver or two, turn out the lights, and shock his staff by creating sparks from his mouth. That is how the early days of spark gap radio were started. Edward also had 3 hospitals and a foundation named after him."
His parents were Harvey H Noble and Edna Wood Noble. Harvey ran a coal, wood & building supply company in Gouverneur (see photos below)and he was an agent for the Rome & Watertown RR. Edward went to Yale. He also served on the Board of Trustees for SLU.
Harvey may have been the son of Reuben Noble and Mary Hale - all buried together at Riverside Cemetery in Gouverneur:

"Harvey H Noble - coal, wood, shingles, cement, wall plaster, fertilizer, salt, brick, sewer pipe, land tile etc. also a full line of cheese factory and creamery supplies and machinery" - 1911
