The following is an obituary from the Houston (Texas) Chronicle spotted by my sister. We don't know anything further about her. Our own last known Norwood died in 1854. BERNICE EVELENA (EVE) NORWOOD MAYHALL passed away on Saturday, March 24, 2001. She was born December 16, 1919 at the Norwood Settlement near Macune in San Augustine County, Texas where her family has lived since being awarded a Republic of Texas Land Grant in 1845. Her Great-Uncle E. O. LeGrand was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Eve took great pride in her family's heritage, and she and her husband Jack spent many enjoyable hours researching their genealogies before his death in 1990. Her lineage can be traced through most of America's history; her brother, Adrian Thomas Norwood, after graduation from West Point, gave his life in World War II; her antecedents participated in the Confederate War between the States, The Texas War of Independence and formation of the Republic of Texas. The War of 1812, the American Revolution, and the colonization of America through her ancestor, William "The Emigrant" Norwood, who came to the colonies on the King's business before 1649. In English history, her line descends from the Barons who, at Runnymede in 1215 A.D., forced King John to sign the Magna Charta and from the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 A.D. She was a member of the following organizations: National Society of Magna Charta Dames, Daughters of the American Revolution and of the Republic of Texas, United Daughters of the Confederacy, St. Cecilia Catholic Community, the National Parkinson Foundation, and the Parkinson Foundation of Harris County where she had many wonderful and supportive friends. Eve was preceded in death by her husband, D. J. "Jack" Mayhall; her parents, Thomas Jefferson Norwood and Bernice Rigsby Norwood; her brother, Tom; and her sister, Nell Covin. She is survived by her daughter, Rikka Mayhall Nutt and son-in-law, John; granddaughter, Lisa Nutt Davis and husband, Justin and their son, Blake Reed Davis; her sons, Donald Joseph Mayhall II and Ronald James Mayhall and wife, Lynn. She is also survived by her sisters, OraLee Dumas, Doni Wiggins, Carolyn Skurlock, Tommy Sowell and Jeannie Smith; brothers-in-law, Buddy Dumas and Charles Smith; Aunts Doris Johnson, Ruby Greer, and Lula Wade; numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and friends. Friends are invited to visitation with the family from 5 until 7 o'clock in the evening on Monday, March 26, 2001 at Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive with a Vigil service to be held at 7 o'clock in the chapel. Funeral Mass to be announced. Interment will be beside her beloved Jack at Forest Park Westheimer Cemetery, 12800 Westheimer Road. In lieu of flowers, Eve requested that donations be made to the Parkinson Foundation of Harris County, 2700 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 1780, Houston, Texas 77056-5705.
