There is a B. H. Norton buried in the Central Caribou Cemetery (near Pictou), but the dates are not quite the same as you have. The stone shows born 1866 and died April 19 1887, age 21 years. Looks like this could be your man. Regards, Doug. S. Victoria C Hoagland wrote: > Aloha, I'm seeking info on my maternal G-G-Grandfather, per above. He was not a Canadian.
