Eight children were the fruit of this union, five of whom had preceded their father to the Spirit land. The remaining three, with their widowed mother, are left to mourn. Bro. Norris united with the M. E. church in his 19th year and from thence lived a quiet, consistent life. His remains were conveyed to the M. E. church in Freedom where appropriate services were held, after which he was followed by a large procession of relatives, friends and neighbors to the Hix cemetery, where he was laid away by the order of Free and Accepted Masons, to await the resurraction morn. Of the order he had been a member for many years. He was an honest man, a citizen beloved, an obliging neighbor and a faithful husband. W.S. McCallister.
