Sentinel--Fri. Jan.23, 1914. RACEVILLE, N.Y. Mrs. Emily Norton passed away early Tuesday morning from heart trouble. She was well and about the house, when the death angel summoned her home. For many years she has been a faithful member of the M. E. church of this place. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the church. Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved family and friends.

This Emily Norton seems to fit the timeline of the one you asked about. It's too bad the obit did not mention if she were a widow or how old she was at time of death. That would tell if this were the same Emily. It appears that her Father was David Allen b: 30 MAR 1799 in Danby, VT and her Mother was Dinah Rogers b: 13 NOV 1801. 1900 GRANVILLE NY CENSUS: Name: Emily A Norton [Living with Merritt] Home in 1900: Granville, Washington, New York Age: 66 Estimated birth year: 1834 Birthplace: New York Race: White Relationship to head-of-house: Wife Image source: Year: 1900; Census Place: Granville, Washington, New York; Roll: T623 1172; Page: 13B; Enumeration District: 125.
