There was an old store on the property the owner wished to tear down and it had a lot of "junk" in it that Mr. Tyndall might be interested in. Mr. Tyndall owns and operates The Wilbur A. Tyndall Museum, Inc, a farm machinery museum in Pink Hill and the owner thought he might like to see if there was anything of interest for his museum. After removing several pickup truck loads he spied an old trunk in a corner, which his helper assured him only had old papers in it that should be thrown away. Mr. Tyndall opened the trunk, took one look, and loaded it in the cab of his truck and he, his wife (a retired history teacher) and his son (who works with the NC Division of Archives and History) spent the next several days going through the old "useless" papers. He then donated them to Heritage Place, Lenoir County Community College. Sue Rouse and Russell King spent many days going through the Collection, separating the many pieces of papers into envelopes and doing an index. They did an outstanding job and it was a dirty, smelly job. There are not enough words to thank them for their invaluable work. Due to time and staff restraints, the Collection was then placed in the vault until Sloan Mason and Martha Mewborn Marble further sorted them, made copies for both Heritage Place and for placement on the Lenoir County GenWeb Archives site. Mr. Tyndall has given permission for the Collection to be moved to East Carolina University in the near future. The size of this Collection makes it the largest single Collection of original Lenoir County documents and the first Collection for south of the Neuse River. A combination of luck has made this Collection available to the public - the fact that Richard Noble was a packrat, the trunk being hidden in a corner of the store, the owner making the decision to have someone go through the store before disposing of its contents and the owner calling one of the few people who knew what he was looking at when the trunk was opened, as well as his decision to donate the Collection to LCC. For all this luck, we are most grateful. From talking with a Noble researcher, we know the papers in this Collection disprove what has been written about the father of Richard Nobles. Richard was a Justice of the Peace, a prominent man in his neighborhood and therefore frequently called on to administer estates. Richard was the owner of Nobles Mill, still operating on Hwy 258 about 14 miles south of Kinston. The researchers of this family are referred to the various articles in the Lenoir County Heritage Book for further information.
