    DOVER-FOXCROFT — Corinne Noyes, who is a resident of Hibbard Nursing Home, was born on June 23, 1913 in Fort Kent. Her family moved to Dover-Foxcroft when she was 10 years old as her father had a new job with the railroad. She is very proud of the fact that she had lived in the family home for 87 years.

    Noyes was married for 62 years to her dear husband Raymond C. Noyes who passed away in 2000. The two worked for many years at the Stowell MacGregor spool factory until it closed in 1964, then they both went to work at Pride Manufacturing.
