Noble was born in Iowa and worked as a journalist in Ohio, Minnesota and Nebraska in the late 1920s. He and his wife came to Nebraska City in 1937, where Noble worked for the state and federal re-employment office later known as the Job Service. He retired from that work in 1967. After retirement, he and his wife (Lillian Peterka Noble), acquired and restored the Wildwood Home and helped establish the Wildwood Cultural Center and Museum.
Noble published numerous pamphlets on local history, wrote weekly columns on local history for the Nebraska City News Press, and assisted in local historical projects including the the Brownville Restoration Project, through the Nebraska State Historical Society. Noble published several local histories focused on southeast Nebraska, Brownville, Nebraska City, and the era of the steamboat.
