to Lucy Ann Logan, and to their home came twelve children, nine sons and three

the civil war broke out Mr. Norris bade wife and children good-bye and hastened
to answer his country's call enlisting as 1st Lieut., Co. F. 24th KY Vols. In

to the end. In his boyhood days he became a Christian. For more than a quarter
of a century he has been an elder in the church. About three years ago he passed
through a severe illness from which he never fully recovered, and when on last
Monday, he was stricken with paralysis, the family knew the messanger had come,
but not until Friday -- here the copy is not readable, then picks up with more
