February 20, 1845 he was united in marriage to Lucy Ann Logan, and to their home came twelve children, nine sons and three daughters, but five sons and two daughters have gone to the home beyond. When the civil war broke out Mr. Norris bade wife and children good-bye and hastened to answer his country's call enlisting as 1st Lieut., Co. F. 24th KY Vols.

His health failed, however and he was compelled to resign his commission and was mustered out of service within a year afer his enlistment.
In 1871 Mr. Norris came to Kansas, and settled near Peabody where his wife died March 30, 1885. Twenty-two yers ago he removed to Peabody and has made this his home ever since. Nov. 14, 1892 he was married
to Mrs. Hilda Kelsheimer who has proven a faithful comapnion to the end. In his boyhood days he became a Christian. For more than a quarter of a century he has been an elder in the church. About three years ago he passed through a severe illness from which he never fully recovered, and when on last Monday, he was stricken with paralysis, the family knew the messanger had come, but not until Friday -- here the copy is not readable, then picks up with more -- Dr. Granville R. Burlington, KS and Mrs. Betty A. Cunningham of Harper, there remain thirty grandchildren, many great grand-children and one great great grand child, Eldon Earl Bailey, to cherish his memory.
Funeral services were held at the Christian Church Saturday at 4 PM conducted by Elder Spencer and the ramains were laid to rest with the G.A.R honers. A general thank you from the family followed, and was signed as follows: G. R. Norris, H. H. Norris, H. S. Norris, Mrs. B. A. Cunningham & J. H. Norris.
