Whereas, For the first time since our organization, death has entered our midst and removed from us one of our number, who was endeared to us by many social ties, and it becomes us to recognize in an appropriate manner the affliction which deprives us of an associate and friend, it is
Resolved, 1st, That, by the death of Edgar J. Noe, the Union Base Ball Club has lost a valuable member and an ardent supporter.
2d. That the members of this organization are called to mourn the untimely decrease of a warm-hearted, generous and noble gentleman, who, by his many kindly traits, had won our highest esteem and truest friendship.

-Missouri Republican, September 20, 1868
Can't say that I know much about Edgar J. Noe, except that he is buried at Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis. I did find this obituary, which appears to come from the September 21, 1868 issue of the Virginia [Norfolk/Virginia Beach] Pilot:
[Edgar J. Noe died] at St. Louis, Missouri on Tuesday morning, September 17, 1868 of inflammation of the bowels. He was the second son of C. Noe, Esquire of this city. He was 23 years old. Thus is cut down in the first dawn of manhood one who bid fair to be an ornament to society, as well as a first-rate business man. He was much loved by all who knew him and will be regretted by many friends and companions here in Norfolk as well as in St. Louis. He was a loving and affectionate son and brother and a faithful friend.
