"Lyle"
The friends of Mrs. Fred Norris of Appleton, were shocked
Thursday to learn of her sudden death. Mr. Norris was alone with her at that
time of her death, and she passed away twenty minutes after she was stricken
with heart failure. The son, D.S. Norris, and family were spending their
vacation at White Fish, Montana, and were called home by the sad news. Mrs.
Norris was of a kind and loving disposition that gained her friends wherever
she went. She was also an acknowledged leader. She was working on a block
for an autograph quilt to be sold to raise funds for the parsonage at Appleton,
a few minutes before she was stricken. The family has the sympathy of their
many friends in their great loss.
Mrs. C.H. Brune of Granddalles, attended the funeral
services of Mrs. Norris, Sunday, at Appleton.
