faxed potatoes, and deep platters fill
ed full of toothsome brown ridges of
fried chicken. For "trimmin's" there
was apple snow mounds of cakes,
pies, cheese, jam and honed, such as
only grandmother has at her house.
No finer day could have been desired
for such a reunion. and it sped away
all too quickly. Old times and child
hood days were recalled with glee,
and many we're the laughs over some
bygone prank played years ago.
In the midst of it all, and brightest
and cherriest. was Grandfather Nor
ton. Still keen of eye and bright of
wit as ever, he kept all in an uproar
And we'll he might, for few men
about here have keener intellect or
better memory of old times than
Mr. Norton. Tradition SAYS he is
nearer % than 90, but he insists he is
no old man of o4 yet.
William Wallace Norton was born
August 10. 1913, in Franklin County,
New York State Like most boys of
that age, he grew rapidly TO manhood
with little school education. What he
did have he got during the winter
months, for boys were needed badly
in those days outside the snow-bound
months of winter His "reminiscences
Of his school davs bring many a
chuckle to the old mans lips now.
He enjoys relating how he was
'birched" or "hided" for some offense
at school. and rumor has it that he
sometimes proved quite problem
for the school master TO whip. He
recalls vividly the first school he at
tended. IL was at the time his par
ents were living in Ontario Province.
Canada, and on the wall at one side OF
the room were painted bible texts,
which were all the lessons the pupils
had to learn in those days Mr.. Nor
ton still knows those texts bv heart
In 1887 he married Elvira Russell
Three years later he came to Michi-
now Lansing, on the present site OF
Grand Ledge. There were no rail-
roads and, in company with some 9TH
er men. he hauled his supplies up into
the forest country by OK cart.
About a year later his brother-in-
law went back TO New York State,
and when he returned Mrs. Norton
came with him. Mr. Norton laid out
the town plat of Grand Ledge and
helped lay out that of Lansing. In
later years he also laid the first stone
for the state capitol at Lansing. The
nearest trading points in those days
were Jackson, Kalamazoo and Detroit.
II was 81 miles to Detroit, and once
each year he went there to buy sup
plies and sell whatever he had to
market
