Noah Edward Presley

- Memorial -

Birth: Aug. 29, 1890

Death: Sep. 13, 1969 Tupelo Lee County Mississippi, USA

Noah was the son of Rosella Presley. Rosella raised all of her children as a single mother, never marrying, and giving all her children her last name of Presley.

Noah's father is stated to be Tom Hussey.

Noah married Susan Izora Griffin and had nine children. They are Sump, Whit, Eack (1906), Sales (1918), Goble, Ruble, Vona Mae, Doc, ..one more...I'll be back with info.

Noah and Susan lived in East Tupelo, where they raised their children. Noah worked as a school bus driver, Mayor of East Tupelo and Sheriff.

After Susan passed away in 1939, Noah remarried a younger woman named Mary Christine Houston. Noah began a second family of nine children with her. One of their notable children was Harold Ray Presley, former Sheriff of Lee County who died while on duty in a shoot out in a barn in 2001. Harold Ray shot and killed the criminal, but later died from the gunshot wound he received during the confrontation.

Noah had two brothers; Calvin and Jessie Dee or "Dee" Dee was Elvis' grandfather, thus making Noah his Uncle.

The Presleys of East Tupelo were a tight knit group. Many of them lived on the same block, Kelly Street, and I was told by my grandmother, Ethel Presley, that they shared a milk cow.

When Elvis was born, Noah's daughter-in-law, Ethel, was one of three people present. She was second to arrive and then the doctor was sent for when the mid-wife and Ethel determined a difficult birth would ensue.

Noah is my great grandfather.
