Chauncey Norman Noteware
The silver chord is loosed; the golden bowl is broken, and the spirit of Chauncey Norman Noteware has returned unto God who gave it. On the twenty-second day of October 1910, after a gradual decline and within a few months of his eighty-sixth birthday, this distinguished Mason laid down his working tools. Still it all seemed strange and sudden for he was a man of untiring energy, a cheerful worker to the last, and, despite his many years, cherished labors and hopes were unrealized. The end however, had no fears for him and when God sent his angel with the scroll of death, he yielded willingly and nobly.

Chauncey N. Noteware was born at Owego, Tioga County, NY, January 13, 1825. He was educated in the common schools of his native State; and in 1844 at the age of nineteen, he emigrated to Illinois and entered Knox College at Galesburg. At the close of his sophmore year he joined the goldrush to California, crossing the plains in 1850. He followed mining with varied success until January 1, 1853, when he became agent of the Express and Bank of Wells, Fargo & Co. at Diamond Springs in El Dorado County. On march 4, 1854 he married Miss Sarah Lyon of South Bend, Indiana, the fruits of which union are two sons, W. C. and M. D. Noteware; and Mrs. D. R. Sessions. In 1857 he emigrated to the State of Nevada, then a portion of the Territory of Utah, locating at what was then known as Mormon Station at Genoa. The Territory of Nevada was organized in 1861, and he was appointed Probate Judge of Douglas County. In September, 1862, he became the first Receiver and Disbursing Agent of the US Land Office, receiving his appointment from President Abraham Lincoln. Upon Nevada being admitted to the United States in 1864, Mr. Noteware who had served as a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1863, was elected Secretary of State, first for two years and then reelected for four years. In 1872 he was appointed as coiner at the U. S. Mint at Carson City by President Grant. In 1864 he was elected to the Legislature of Nevada and served as Senator from Ormsby County for four years.
