| Notes |
- Joseph Noyes began business early in life in Haverhill.
On leaving Haverhill he came to Salisbury, settling on a farm in that portion of the town subsequently included in the town of Franklin. This farm was known as the Noyes farm and was afterwards occupied by L.D. Davenport. After the house on the farm was burned, Noyes moved to the village on the west side of the river, now Franklin, and opened a store in the basement of his house. His domestic life was very unhappy; his wife was extravagant and contracted debts without his knowledge, and a separation resulted. He became involved in quarrels with his neighbors and, declaring that his property should no longer contribute to the support of that community, he moved up the river into Andover, on a farm where he resided until his death. This farm was afterwards occupied by Simeon Brown.
Mr. Noyes was a shrewd, industrious, business man who, by economy and thrift accumulated what at that time was accounted a comfortable fortune. He left three children: Joseph, Thomas Jefferson and Lucy.
The people of Andover and vicinity were especially interested in the following clause in his will:
Item 4. I do hereby direct my executor to take $10,000.00 out of my personal property and bank stock, and appropriate it for the support of a public school; said school to be under the direction of six directors, who shall at first be appointed by my executor, and after that they shall fill their own vacancies. The house for said school to be built on the farm on which I now live, which farm I also give and bequeath for the support of the school; said school to be denominated "Noyes School."
In accordance with this clause of the will the executor, Robert Barber, appointed the following directors: Josiah Badcock, William Proctor, Silas Merrill, John Simonds, John Joseph Bryant and Robert Barber.
An act to incorporate the directors of the Noyes School in the town of Andover, was passed by the Legislature, and approved June 21, 1822. A large, old-style, one-story schoolhouse was built in 1822, on the Noyes farm, nearly opposite the dwelling house, and the school opened in 1823 under the management of Benjamin M. Tyler of Andover, as principal.
For five years the school was very successfully maintained, to the great credit of the principal and directors. The Noyes residence was converted into a boarding house and was always filled with an excellent class of students. Considering all the conditions, this was probably the most successful school during its existence, ever maintained in the town.
When Joseph, the eldest son of Mr. Noyes, became of age, in 1826, he instituted a suit to break the will, on the ground that the testator was not sane. There was a long and bitter legal contest ending, in 1828, in the breaking of the will, the destruction of the school and the distribution of the property amoung the heirs.
The friends of a better education in the community were unwilling to lose the services of Mr. Tyler as a teacher, and plans were soon matured for building the two-story brick building in Franklin village now long known as "the academy." This building was finished and occupied in 1830. The institution was chartered in 1831, as "The Instructor's School," and Mr. Tyler was the principal until his resignation in 1846.
The name of this school clearly indicates its main idea, the training of teachers, and, so far as now known, it was the first of its kind in this part of the country. It was well supported by the community and its success had no small influence in the early history of Franklin.
