Papers and medical ledgers of Dr. Joseph Everett Nobles.
Joseph Everett Nobles was born in Pitt County on 1875 April 14 to Joseph John and Lucinda (Flemming) Nobles. He studied at the University of North Carolina's Medical School and at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia in 1899. He returned to practice in St. John's Community and Vanceboro, North Carolina. Nobles moved to Greenville and married Argen Belah Hardy on 1911 October 31 and had three children. He built his practice in Greenville on 4th Street between Washington and Evans Streets. During World War I, Nobles was one of a few doctors left in Greenville after the influenza epidemic, as Laughinghouse, Pace, and Green served in the military. When Dr. Nobles had the flu, the Health Department sent a doctor from Charlotte to help. When East Carolina Teaching College's first physician, Dr. Charles O'Hagan Laughinghouse, moved to Raleigh in the 1920s, he asked Nobles to take over as the new physician of the school. Nobles stayed there until his death on 1941 December 13.
