Transcript from pages 960-961 in “The Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania":

The late John Noll, the father of our subject [George Peter Noll], was born at the old homestead of the Noll family, March 5, 1818, and lived to more than three score years and ten, passing away on April 6, 1888. He followed the shoemaker's trade, and was also a successful agriculturist, but for a few years before his death he left the active work of his estate to younger hands. His influence in the community was marked, and he ranked among the leading Republicans of the township, holding various offices at times. During the war he contributed time and means toward filling the quota of men for his township.

On May 2, 1839, John Noll was married, in Kelly township, to Miss Leah Meixell, a native of Lancaster county, Penn. , who was born September 8, 1821, and died June 28, 1891, in her seventieth year, the remains of both being interred in White Deer churchyard.

Our subject's parents passed their lives amid the quiet scenes of an agricultural neighborhood, taking part in all that tended to advance the community and identifying themselves with the work of the Lutheran Church.
