EDITOR WASHINGTON STAR DEAD

Crosby S. Noyes Comes to "30" After Long and Active Newspaper Career

Pasadena, Cal., Feb 21 - - Crosby S. Noyes editor of the Washington Star, died
late this afternoon

Washington, Feb 21 - - Crosby Stewart Noyes, whose death was reported today
from Pasadena, Cal., was 83 years of age, and no less than sixty years of his
manhood had been spent in the newspaper business. He was born in Minot, Maine,
Feb. 16, 1825, and, finding farm life too hard for his frail physique, he came
to Washington in 1847, making the last stages of his journey on foot for lack
of funds. He began his newspaper work in the following year as a special
correspondent and a writer for Washington News. From that date until a week
preceding his death Mr. Noyes labored unceasingly at his chosen profession,
and set a high example upon Washington journalism as a purveyor of clean,
sound, active facts.

Mr. Noyes was for twenty-one years a member of the Gridiron Club. He is
survived by a widow and three sons, Theodore W. Noyes, president of the
Evening Star Newspaper Company; Frank B. Noyes, editor and publisher of the
Chicago Record-Herald and president of the Associated Press, and Thomas C.
Noyes, news manager of the Star, and one daughter Mrs. George W. Boyd of
Philadelphia.
