| Notes |
- William NOYES, m. Sally Daniels of this town, and spent the last of his life here. He was the son of Bela Noyes, an early settler in Norway, and for many years kept a hotel at "Greenwood City."
Other families of this name were quite early here, but did not remain long enough to be much identified with the town. John Noyes, with a large family was here when the census of 1821 was taken.
from "Greenwood City in the Forties"

Oxford County Advertiser, Norway, Maine August 7, 1914
"...
One of the taverns was kept by William Noyes, a very stout or "pussy" man and rather jovial. He afterwards moved to Paris and became a farmer, losing thereby much of his stoutness. The other early tavern was built by my grandfather, Hilborn and it was occupied by him for several years, about 1830 to 1836. My parents were married in that house in 1835. ...
William Noyes; His Son Stephen.
Probably every traveller that passed the night in the village, during many years, always remembered Bill Noyes, as he was called, for he kept the only tavern there for many years after the others were gone. He married, first, Sarah (or Sally) Daniels of Paris, second, her sister, daughter of John Daniels. He was an enormously fat man, weighing over 300 pounds, and he was jovial in proportion. His loud laugh could be heard all over the village, and his barroom was a favorite place for loafing and swapping lies.
He had a son, Stephen, about my age. When all the boys were playing in the street, not far away, games of 'round ball,' pitching quiots or horseshoes, 'busting wheels', and other favorite games, Mr. Noyes would usually appear at his bar-room door and call loudly: 'Stephen' and then louder 'Stephen' until Stephen finally answered. Then he invariably called back: 'Stephen, go to your mother!' Stephen usually replied: I can't, Sir.' His father would call: 'Why not?' Stephen would again reply: 'Can't do it, I'm swelled, Sir.' - Then the old man would laugh loudly, go in and shut the door, for perhaps half an hour, when the same long distance dialogue would be repeated.
Wm. Noyes later became a farmer in Paris, where he lost much of his surplus flesh. He was a brother of Bela Noyes of Norway, who met a tragic death by fire. Stephen later became a brakeman on the railroad."
