N. H. NOYES JR. BURNS TO DEATH
Eli Lilly Co. Official’s Son Asleep While Fire Rages In Boathouse.

Nicholas H. Noyes Jr., 28-year-old son of the vice-president and treasurer of Eli Lilly & Co., was burned to death early yesterday while he slept in a boathouse at the family’s summer home at Les Cheneaux, Mich.
Friends here learned of Mr. Noyes’s death in telegrams received by Eli Lilly and Lyman S. Ayres. Cause of the fire was not revealed in the information.
Unaware that Mr. Noyes was sleeping in the apartment above the boathouse, the family butler saved two speedboats by pushing them from their berths. Mr. Noyes was spending the night in the boathouse apartment because of the large number of guests at the family cottage.
A verdict of accidental death was returned by Coroner George Davis.

Funeral Rites Tomorrow.
Mr. Noyes had been at the summer home with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas H. Noyes Sr., since early in August. Guests at the summer home included a brother, Evan Noyes; a sister, Mrs. Frederic M. Ayres Jr., and her husband.
Members of the family are expected to return to Indianapolis today. Funeral services will be at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon in the family home, 5625 Sunset Lane, with the Rev. Thomas White, supply pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, officiating. Burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery.
Mr. Noyes was connected with the sales office of Eli Lilly & Co. and until early in the summer had been doing sales work for the company in St. Louis, Mo.
Born in the old Noyes family home in the 1300 block of North Delaware Street, Mr. Noyes attended Park School here and Lawrenceville School, Lawrenceville, N.J. He was active in several clubs, including Woodstock Club, the Indianapolis Country Club and the Indianapolis Dramatic Club.
