Book Title: A History Of Blanchardville, Gem Of The Pecatonica

Pharmacists

Dr G. W. Noble Dr. Trickel Dr. F. Wilson Baker

Dr. George Noble

    Dr. and Mrs. Noble came from Monroe, Wisconsin to Blanchardville in 1902.
With the exception of two years spent in Chicago, they lived here continuously
until they moved to California in 1927.

    He enjoyed an extensive veterinary practice and also manufactured and
retailed medicines.

    Dr. Noble contracted for road construction and one of his endeavors was the
stretch of road from the Blue Ribbon Cheese Factory (Lageson's) to the present
Raymond Haugen farm.

    He proved his ability as a builder of more than ordinary note, having
erected eight fine homes and re-arranged and modernized several business locations.

    The Nobles became the parents of four children: Margaret, Gertrude, Frank
and George.

Dr. F. Wilson Baker

    Dr. F. Wilson Baker is Blanchardville's only veterinarian in 1976. He is a
member of the fifth generation of Bakers in this area; his
great-great-grandparents, the Josiah Bakers, settled near what is now
Blanchardville in 1854.

  Dr. Baker, son of Doris Parkinson and Dwight Baker, grew up on the family farm
near Blanchardville where his brother, Douglas, now resides. He attended the
Blanchardville grade and high schools, majored in Bacteriology in his pre-vet
studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and received his D.V.M. degree
from the College of Veterinary Science at Texas A & M. He served three years in
the Army Veterinary Corp in World War II and was discharged with the rank of
Captain in 1946. In October of that year he opened his practice in
Blanchardville. Through the years he has been ably assisted in his office by his
wife, the former Isabel McDowell of Waupun, Wisconsin. They reside in the old
home of his grandmother, Frances Baker, where their five children were reared:
Dwight, an attorney at Blackfoot, Idaho; Dr. James, pediatric allergist at
Portland, Oregon; Bruce, farmer near Blanchardville; Dr. Beth, intern at
Framingham, Mass., and Robert, a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
