"The true measure of a man is how tall he stands in the eyes of his family."
The dictionary defines "noble" as a well known notable of a superior nature. There has never been a man who exemplified these qualities as Joseph Noble Holland.
Noble was a lifelong resident of Leighton, where he not only farmed, but was everyone's best friend.
He was a loving husband to Donna for more than 47 years and the most caring father to all his No. 1 girls.
When not working, he enjoyed hunting and fishing with family and friends, also dancing with his girls.
He was a philanthropist by definition, devoting most of his time to helping others. He exuded style, grace and charm and was the epitome of a true Southern Gentleman.
He shared his love of the land with all he encountered.
Although we on earth are left with an un-fillable void, Heaven was blessed the day he entered.

MEN KILLED IN CAR CRASH
Two Lawrence County men were killed in a wreck in Lawrence County on Tuesday, while a Colbert County man was in critical condition after being flown to Huntsville Hospital after a separate accident.
...
In a separate accident in Colbert County, officials said Noble Holland, 69, Main Street, Leighton, was injured in a one-vehicle accident at 4:12 p.m. Tuesday on Fennel Lane.
Witnesses at the scene said emergency crews initially feared the man had died but established a pulse. He was transported to Helen Keller Hospital in Sheffield.
The wreck occurred at Fennel Lane south of Sixth Street in Colbert County.
The white Ford pickup Holland was driving came to rest in a cotton field after leaving the road and flipping several times.
Trooper said Holland was northbound when his vehicle topped a small rise in the road, went off the east side of the road, crossed back over, then ran off the west side.
The truck traveled more than 200 feet through the cotton field, flipping a number of times before it came to rest on all four tires facing west. The truck was about 50 feet off the road when it stopped.
Debris from the truck left a trail from where it left the roadway to where it stopped.
Emergency crews said someone driving by on Fennel Lane saw the truck and called for help.
The accident is being investigated by state troopers at the Quad-Cities post.
