DEACON CHARLES T. NOEL, M.D.:  Dr. Charles T. Noel was born in 
Hancock County, Kentucky, on August 26, 1819, and was the eldest of a 
family of three sons and one daughter born to David D. and Sarah K. 
Noel, natives of Virginia.  He was reared in Hancock County, where he 
studied medicine.  When a young man he came to Owensboro, Daviess 
County, Kentucky, where he practiced his profession until the death 
of his father in March, 1841.  He then returned to Hancock County to 
manage the farm for his mother.
	On May 9, 1844, he was married to Misse [sic] Sarah E. Kennedy 
of Daviess County, and, after remaining on the farm until his 
brothers could run it, he removed to Owensboro.  He later moved to 
Masonville and was instrumental in getting a postoffice started 
there.
	At the outbreak of the Civil War he raised Company A, 
Confederate Cavalry (Kentucky), and was commissioned a Captain.  He 
was killed in a skirmish in Alabama, on May 11, 1862.  A number of 
young men in the Masonville and surrounding communities were members 
of his troop.
	Dr. Noel became a member of the First Baptist Church about the 
year 1848 and continued to hold his membership there until the 
organization of the Sugar Grove Church in May, 1861, when he and his 
wife went into the constitution of that Church as charter members.  
He had served as a deacon in the First Baptist Church for some time 
and was recognized as such by the Sugar Grove Church, thus becoming 
one of the first deacons of this Church.  He was also elected as the 
first clerk of the Church but served only three months before he went 
off to war.
	From 1851 to 1855 he served very efficiently as the Clerk of 
the Daviess County Baptist Association.  From 1851 to 1861 he served 
as messenger to the Association from the First Church in Owensboro 
and the Sugar Grove Church.  He served on the Board of the Daviess 
County Indian Mission Society from its organization until its 
dissolution; as Treasurer of the Daviess County Mission Board; and as 
President of the same Board for a combined total of six years.  Two 
of his sons were later ordained as deacons of the Sugar Grove Church.
	Death brought an end to his useful activities in the Churches 
and the Association.  Even though his life was brief in years it was 
fully lived in the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ.
