What it says
Found on Ancestry, 9 Oct 2026. In the gazetteer’s list for Auburn, King County, a town
of 1,500, alphabetical by name: “Meade Geo C, lawyer and ins / Merritt Frank D, phys / Noel Saml
H, optician.” The lawyer and the physician are his neighbours in the alphabet, not a shared
office. The same list has “Connell H N, undtkr,” of the Connell & Lemar who buried him in 1924
(death-certificate-samuel-noel-1924).
By 1913, then, Maud Noel’s father had moved his business from Seattle (107 1st Av N in 1911,
directories-seattle-noel-morilon-1911) to Auburn, near Algona, where he died, and where his
first wife was buried in 1918.
