Miss Flora Norton.

Miss Flora Norton, daughter OF Mr.
and Mrs. L. K. Norton, died at her home
In Porter Friday, Nov. 10, aged 20 years
1 month and 20 days. Miss Norton was
stricken with infantile paralysis about
one wear ago. She was treated by able
physicians, but they were unable tc
arrest the progress of the disease, and
she has not been able TO use her hands
for over q year, and has been confined 70
the house the most OF the time. Her
genial personal manner made her
favorite with a large circle Of friends,
who were greatly attached to her. HeI
Christian faith beautifully sustained bel
through all the weary hours of her sick
ness, and will ever perpetuste her beau
tiful life. II can most truly be said oil
her, in the words of the poet:
"After the toll and trouble there cometh day Of
After the weary conflict. peace on the savior''
breast;
After the wilderness journey the Fathers bright
home above"
Funeral services were held ut her home
Nov. Is attended by Rev. William Cot
ton and Rev. AlphonzO Davis, both per
soual friends of Miss Norton. They
spoke of her exemplary Christian life, oi
her love and thoughtfuloess for her
father and mother TO whom she was de-
voted. They also said the last year OF
her life had been q lesson of Christian
patience to all who had known her. The
family have the sympathy of large
number of relatives and friends, and the
community as a whole mourns the loss
of a beautiful Christian woman, but let
US remember that our loss is her gain.
