Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, January 30, 1873 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Obituary - There are yet residing in Pulaski and it's the 70, many who have pleasant recollections of Dr. Helon F, Noyes, who died at Milwaukee on the 15th day of January, 1873, where his son, F. W. Noyes, has for several years been in business. Dr. Noyes came to Pulaski over forty years since, a young man just entering upon his profession, and practiced in Pulaski about 25 years with great success. Soon after entering upon his profession, he assumed a superior position is a physician and surgeon and maintained a position at the head of the medical profession so long as he remained in Oswego County, and it can safely be said that but few persons more perfectly possessed the confidence of the public or the profession, and Dr. H. F. Noyes. As a man, he was open hearted and generous to a fault, with an unmitigated hatred of quackery and shams of all kinds, while adhering closely to the regular Allopathic school, he would as soon cured his patients with a few drops of distilled rainwater, if it could be done, as treat him with mel. Although his practice both as a physician and surgeon, might be styled the heroic, his heart was always open to the sufferings of his patients, and kindness in a sick room was always his characteristic. As a citizen he was public spirited, and was, to the extent of his means ever ready to assist in enterprises of public benefit He represented his town, we believe on several occasions, in the Board of Supervisors of Oswego County, and he in an eminent degree possessed the confidence of his townsman, and very many who yet survive will remember him with feelings of gratitude. kindness and affection. His disease was paralysis. For two years he had awaited death with calmness and fortitude. He was baptized at Christmas Day, 1871. He died in the full consciousness and belief of immortality, and the great doctrines of the Christian religion, which soothed his last hours and made grateful the change from a world of storms to that which he hopefully anticipated.
