Apparantly there must have been some conflict there between Bowers and Lockhart. Ornocque and Edmund being almost like being in another Country would be now. My mom said it used to take grandpa and grandma 2 days to go to Norton and they only lived 12 miles east and 4 1/2 South of Norton. So it is understandable to me that they aren't in oboth books but to confusing to some I guess. Ornocque was 9 miles west on 36 and Edmund was 14 miles south and 2 miles east of Norton. Both distances in 1984 were considerable. Ardie & Greg Grimes wrote: > > Philo E. Doolittle was one of the members of the Norton Town > Association, organized in 1872.
