St. Lawrence Plaindealer June 13, 1939

Who was Edward John Noble? From Wikipedia, "1882-1958) ...was a US Broadcasting and candy industrialist originally from Gouverneur, NY. He co-founded the Life Savers Corporation in 1913. He founded the American Broadcasting Company when he purchased the NBC Blue Network in 1943 following the FCC's decree that RCA divest itself of one of its two radio networks. In 1912chocolate manufacturer Clarence Crane from Cleveland, Ohio invented Life Savers as a "summer candy" that could withstand heat better than chocolate. Since the mints looked like miniature life preservers, he called them Life Savers. After registering the trademark, Crane sold the rights to the peppermint candy to Edward Noble for $2,900. Noble created tin-foil wrappers to keep the mints fresh, instead of cardboard rolls. Pep-O-Mint was the first Life Savor flavor. Since then many different flavors of Life Savers have been produced. The five-flavor roll first appeared in 1935. Sometimes Ed would sneak a wintergreen Lifesaver or two, turn out the lights, and shock his staff by creating sparks from his mouth. That is how the early days of spark gap radio were started. Edward also had 3 hospitals and a foundation named after him."

His parents were Harvey H Noble and Edna Wood Noble. Harvey ran a coal, wood & building supply company in Gouverneur (see photos below)and he was an agent for the Rome & Watertown RR. Edward went to Yale. He also served on the Board of Trustees for SLU.

Harvey may have been the son of Reuben Noble and Mary Hale - all buried together at Riverside Cemetery in Gouverneur:

Seaker Graves Motor Co. 1918

From Lea Dickson - leaellen@bystgal.org

The garage was built by Frank L. Seaker (my great grandfather) and his cousin in- law /partner, Perle A. Graves.

P. A. Graves, husband of Rhoda Fox Graves, was my great grandfather's legislative clerk while he served in the NYS Assembly from 1911-1921. P.A. was also 1st cousin of Cora Graves Seaker, Frank's wife, my Great Grandmother. My great-grandmother's name was Nora Graves Seaker. She had a twin who was Cora. One interesting note. My g.gfather, Frank, was married to a twin and his mother was a twin.

Rhoda Fox Graves served 1925-1949 in the NYS Legislature and Senate. For 38 years the Seaker-Graves family represented the district. For 75 years they were in business together.

Seaker-Graves Motor Co. was located in Gouverneur on the corner of Main and Wall St. S&G built it for their new partnership. Apparently it was the finest automobile dealership building in all of northern NY. It remained S&G until 1971 when Mark Graves (son of Rhoda and P. A. died) and the name was changed to Seaker Chevrolet. The name changed again in 1990 to D.J. Walters when my mother (Norinne Seaker Dickson and uncle (Hilliard Seaker) sold the business to Dave Walters. The building has remained in continuous use as a new car dealership for 94 years.

Unfortunately, my grandfather, Raymond Seaker tore down the Old Red Brick Tavern, which was located next to the garage, in the early 1950's to make room for new cars.
