     CLYMER MARLAY NOBLE, who is engaged in the investment business in 
Portland, with offices in the Lumberman's building, is meeting with well 
merited success and bears a reputation as a capable and trustworthy business 
man. He was born in Portland on April 8, 1896, is a son of Henry E. and Ella 
T. (Trimble) Noble, and is of Scotch-Irish lineage. His father was born in 
Syracuse, New York, and was reared and educated there. In 1893 he came to 
Portland and engaged in the mortgage and timber land business, in which he met 
success, becoming owner of large and valuable tracts of timber. His death 
occurred in January, 1926, at the age of seventy years.  The mother was born 
in Hillsboro, Ohio, and died in December, 1926, at the age of sixty-eight 
years.

     C. M. Noble attended the public schools of Portland, and entered the 
Preparatory School at Lawrenceville, New Jersey, from which he was graduated 
in 1916. He had one year at Yale University, laying aside his textbooks in 
April, 1917, to enlist for service in the World war. He entered the first 
officers training camp at the Presidio, San Francisco, and before the close of 
the war was commissioned a second lieutenant. He was then engaged in training 
troops and was an instructor in the fourth officers training camp. In 
September, 1918, he was ordered overseas with the One Hundred and Sixteenth 
Field Artillery, with which command he was in training in France when the 
Armistice was signed. He was honorably discharged at Atlanta, Georgia, in 
January, 1919, with the rank of second lieutenant. Returning to Portland, he 
was for a few years associated with his father in business and for several 
years has devoted his attention to the investment business.

     On November 23, 1920, at Atlanta, Georgia, Mr. Noble was united in 
marriage to Miss Lilla Lynam, who was born and reared in that city, where her 
father, Edward E. Lynam, was engaged in business. Mr. and Mrs. Noble are the 
parents of a son, Clymer, Jr., born May 31, 1925. Mr. Noble is a member of the 
University Club, the Multnomah Club and the American Legion. Possessing an 
attractive personality, backed by sterling integrity of character, Mr. Noble 
holds a high place in the esteem and confidence of all who know him, while, 
socially, he is extremely popular throughout the range of his acquaintance.
