Bio
From "Centennial of Haywood County and its county seat Waynesville," by William Cicero Allen, published 1908; pg 142: David Russell Noland. "No family in Fines Creek township has been more active in building up that section of the county than the Nolands. The family originally came from Belgium and brought with it to this country some of the spirit of the ancient Belgians who resisted Caesar so stubbornly when he conquered their country about 55 B. C. One branch of the family came to the mountains of western North Carolina and settled on Crystal Creek, now known as Fines Creek. David Russell Noland was born Feb 11, 1866, in Fines Creek township. His father is James Hardy Noland, still living an active old man, and his mother Sara E. Noland. As a boy he was sent to the public schools of his neighborhood and later to the academy in Waynesville while his brother, Thomas W., was principal in 1885. Later in 1888-1890 he attended school at Weaverville College in Buncombe County, where he was more thoroughly equipped for the active duties of life. Returning from college Mr. Noland taught school for a year, and then engaged in farming and stock-raising, in which he has been very successful. He has succeeded in accumulating considerable property and is considered to-day one of the most successful and prosperous farmers in Fines Creek township. In 1902 Mr. Noland was elected sheriff of Haywood County and moved to Waynesville to live. He served so acceptably that he was re-elected in 1904 and served until 1906, when he declined to be a candidate longer. Before being elected sheriff he was for a number of years tax collector. This year (1908) he was chosen chairman of the Haywood County Democratic executive committee. He now lives in Waynesville. March 11, 1892 he married Etta A. Reeves. They have one child, David Reeves Noland, who is in school at the academy in Waynesville. Sheriff Noland is a member of the Methodist Church and a Knight of Pythias."
