The Abbeville Banner Jan 6, 1849
Obituary
The Abbeville Banner Jan 6, 1849
Died, on the morning of the 27th ult, at the residence of his
brother, in this village, Lietu. Patrick Noble of U.SA. aged
27 years.
The subject of this notice, at an early age of his life, having
become inspired with the love of Military Arms, and desirous of
cultivating this spirit of his childhod, entered the United
States Military Academy at West Point, where he developed to an
extraordinary degree, the predominate features of his mind, and
graduated with distinction to himself and honor to his country.
   After finishing his education, the same spirit which moved 
him in his youth, still urged him in that celebrated march of
General Kearney's to California, distingquished for sufferings
and privations of the camp, and  ??? of Indian war-fare -- we 
find him ????? danger was nearest with the confidence of his
commander thus? he was competent for any emergencies, and called
by him "the bold, daring, and dashing dragoon." It was owing to 
this march that he was prevented from mingling in the late
glorious and brillian achievements of our arms in Mexico, but 
it is sufficient, that no one regretted it more than himself.
It was however, in obedience to an order, sought and requested
by himself to join a portion of his Regiment in the city of
Mexico, that he incurred this disease together with the lamented
Kearney, at Vera Cruz which terminated fatally. Thus has passed 
off one of South Carolina's bravest and best of Soldiers, after
six years arduous and laborious service in his country. His 
relatives who are left to mourn their untimely loss, must have
the consolation to know, that on account of his undaunted
courage, a firmness that never shruck from duty, and affable and
gentlemanly deportment, and a generous and kind hospitality, 
encircled around his camp fire many near and devoted friends
who together with their country feel his loss. 
                                       M.
