John Noble, a graduate of Glasgow University, was a school teacher at Henderson Street School, Glasgow. His inscription comes from the last verse of the hymn, O Love that will not let me go:
O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.
