MRS. NORTON PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY
Mrs. Grace I. Norton, wife of Frank E. Norton, passed away at 5:30AM last Monday 
at her home in Upper Lake after an extended illness. Heart failure was the cause 
of her death although she was afflicted with a complication of other troubles. 
Mr. & Mrs. Norton were married at Upper Lake October 14, 1896. After living in 
Napa and Berkeley for a number of years the family returned to Upper Lake about 
three years ago.

Clarence C. Taylor, two granddaughters Ethel and Inez Taylor; sister Mrs. Winnie 
Riffe and six brothers Clarence, Walter, Cleve, Harry & Lil Tallman all of Upper 
Lake. Mrs. Norton was a Christian, a devoted mother and wife and a noble friend 
of those in need. She will be deeply mourned by the family and all who knew her. 
The funeral was held at 2:30PM Wednesday from the Norton home and interment at 
Upper Lake Cemetery under the auspices of the Rebekah Lodge of which order the 
deceased was a member.
