Daughter of Albert Davis Noe, Sr., and [Iantha] Alice Elizabeth (Carbon) Noe. Married Francis Adams, Jr., in 1927. He had been previously married to Florence Bannard.

From the Reading Eagle, January 2, 1925:

Gifted with a charming personality, Emma Noe has enjoyed a share of success that rarely falls to the lot of a young artist. She was born in Hopkinsville, Ky., and educated in Chicago. Upon graduating from Miss Baur's Conservatory in Cincinnati, she was granted an audition by the late Cleofonte Campanini, then director of the Chicago Opera Company, and an engagement as a member of that organization immediately followed. She has made appearances as solo artist with the Minneapolis and Cincinnati Symphonies, the North Shore Festival, and many others. Her New York debut as a recital artist took place last November at Aeolian Hall and was an acknowledged success.

From the Kentucky New Era, April 23, 1997:

Madam Emma Noe, stage name of Emma Noe (1885-1972), came to Hopkinsville with her family from Sebree Springs in 1908, when her father leased the Hotel Latham. She graduated from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and made her debut wtih the Chicago Opera Company, singing there for three seasons. After two seasons with the Cincinnati Symphony and one in Minneapolis, the dramatic soprano made her New York debut in Aeolian Hall. Another season, she sang with the Geraldine Farrar Opera Company. For several years, this opera singer lived in New York where she was a voice coach for Metropolitan stars. Madame Emma gave a concert at Union Tabernacle, April 12, 1923, and she sang in concert over radio station WFIW, July 18, 1931. In 1927 she married Francis Adams of Louisville, where they made their home after Hotel Latham burned. Madame Emma chaired the voice department at the University of Louisville School of Music in the early 1940s.
